Workshop robot: rigid hard-surface rig

An original chunky workshop robot with a screen face: hard parts rigged rigidly, a rubber bellows and a spring antenna for life.

  • Poses: heavy step, look-around with the antenna whipping, claw wave, happy eyes.

What it shows: mechanical rigging. Each hard part follows exactly one bone, so nothing bends that should not; only the rubber waist and the antenna coil deform. The stomp has weight: the body drops and rebounds on each step.

Own demo: an original character designed, modelled, rigged and animated by me in Blender for this portfolio. Delivered as .blend and FBX for Unity or Unreal.
