CG Boost's Baby Robot Challenge | Here Comes the Drone! | +Assets

Honorable Mention CG Boost Challenge #9

The idea started with the cereal box (Nutty Nuts) design that I came up with while brainstorming. I wanted to use the props (such as the food or the newspaper) to provide context about the world of the scene. I modeled the tiniest details like brow mechanisms because I wanted robots to really “work”, I added the “food module” to dad’s head because I realized that if he wanted to graze on a couple of nuts he would have nowhere to put them. It is such details that really fascinate me and make it fun to design these things. I made the baby more modern and plasticky to show the difference between generations, but at the same time connect them through traditions and habits. His dad probably had the same cereal when he was a young, er, whatever young robots are.

Some hardsurface parts come from the kitbash set of Andrew Averkin. The wooden robot is from https://sketchfab.com/ubi3d
