Hello, I have been wanting to make a BB-8 model ever since the Ep7 trailer came out, but never got around to it until now : )
I made this in Blender and rendered in the Blender Internal engine. The composition was inspired by this work of art (https://cgcookie.com/image/bb-8/) by:
Ana Rodrigues.
I will be posting the model for free on Blend Swap so keep an eye out for that.
May the Force be with you... always
Cheers,
Rex
P.S. Loved The Force Awakens!
Great Job Rex! Well executed.
The BB units are smaller then the R2 units, and can go over rougher terrain. They also can do more: each one of the orange "pods" on his body can be swapped out for a different tool. Also they just look cute!!! (and awesome in the movie) :)
Thank you! : )
Cheers,
Rex
That's awesome!
Well done. Sounds like you may be able to explain this. What is the function of a droid that runs around on top of a basketball?
I like it...
Nice, well done!
