Hey guys, i thought i would go a little more in to depth about what all comes with the Robot.

First off atm there are 4 animations.

-Walking around checking things

-Idle sleeping

-Startled from sleep

-Random working on panel

This model also includes several different skins.

5 Red skins with different numbers printed on his back, 5 blu skins with those same numbers and one red and one blu eyes closed skin for the sleeping to wake animation.

To set up the startle animation in the map.

Set the default skin to 11/12 (depending on what color you want it) and the default animation to sleeping_idle

Set a relay to trigger the animation Sleeping_wake

Set a skin change to a random skin of your color with a delay of 0.9 seconds.

Set a skin change back to 11/12 with a delay of 6.9 seconds.

This will get the effect seen in the video.

Also there is a bug with the front left wheel in the walking around animation. I will fix it at a later date but honestly i don't think you can really tell when he is moving around.

By the way, if you have any other ideas for animations he could be doing don't hesitate to suggest it! If you think the animation could be used by other mappers as well as you i dont mind adding it to him.

I hope you like the model! I will try to keep him updated as requested!

This looks very nice.

Could you make a skin which makes this model look rusted and unused please as then some could be static detail models aswell (good for filling in gaps).

That's really cool, it's probably too late to change anything now but, you should put a tube or something on its head. Because TF2 definitely isn't set in that sort of Computer age.

Sure thing, i will also make a static prop version of him in a broken broken pose or something.

By the way, does anyone have any ideas for other animations i could have this little guy doing?

from what I can tell it's just a terminal set into a nuclear powered robot

How about a repeated walking into a wall animation as if it has malfunctioned? Anyway, it's a great model, shame I'm doing two swamp themed maps right now though :(

All right, so a malfunctioning animation it is. I will try to add in as many different types of malfunctioning animations as i can! I will also make a texture that changes the text on the monitor and one that also changes his eyes to X's or something.

Thanks guys for all the feedback, i will try my best to make a exploding animation but no promises on that one!

God, i hope TF2Maps.net start up another Community Theme Pack and they make it space themed. I think this theme could be really cool if it had enough assets!

EDIT: Here are acouple of mirrors. I have also changed the default download link to the TF2maps.net download area.

Enjoy!

Definitely.
I might even be able to contribute (space items are generally pretty mathematical in structure, and not organic, which is the kind of 3D modeling I'm good at! Or at least...not bad at...)

Oh god same here :O. I suck badly at organic looking models, it takes me weeks to make them look even remotely organic and ok looking.

Of course I will keep making space themed props, i really want to build up some more assets for the theme (as its one of my favorites). I'm just saying it would be nice if i wasn't so alone in doing so (not saying that no one has made ANY space themed models but i defiantly haven't seen many, maybe i'm not looking hard enough.)

There's a different pack in the works right now but if you make some noise about the idea once that's released some people might well take up the charge. I know a lot of people have been talking baout space maps here for a while so there's definitely interest.,
