Just kind of clunking around.

Will do bjbsquared

I'm with Davey... still trying to break out of old 3D keyboard shortcut habits for moving stuff around but will start following the videos till I get it lol.

Yep, I feel like that too. I decided to do some simple things first. These were good to do to help me play with the snapping modes. I had to fight the urge to go measure a pen with some calipers. It would do no good because there's no place to enter numbers lol.

I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. I think I have made a new groove in my brain wrapping my head around this but it is starting to stick. Here is my latest work in progress.

I like the way the fins move with flexing the spine. Perhaps someday it will se some animation.

The Top


The Underside

I like this one ... very good idea

Hello bjbsquared,

Yes, very nice -- quite ambitious.

Great to see some exploration of the Flex Tools.

Best Wishes,

Nice one bjbsquared looks like a weird trilobyte millipede cross. Flex tools - I'll have to check that out.

Awesome! Can I borrow some legs?

[bjbsquared]

I wanted to get this out of the way before I started attacking the booleans. This started as a doodle and kind of got out of control. I learned a bunch while making it.

This is a really nice combination of Bots and Primes. Maybe for a 'final public' render you might want to add some less saturated colours and/or fog ... but this is your choice, of course

An odd but pleasing combination of organic and mechanical - I guess that description could be applied to a lot of what GroBoto does. Never mind booleans (for the moment) I'm still waiting for the flex tools to arrive in the Win Beta!

Hey BJB,

You are progressing nicely -- the mixing of 'hand built' and algorithmic (bot) elements is one of the most effective GroBoto paths.

As v3 progresses, we will be able to demonstrate that more clearly. Throw Flex Tools & Booleans into the mix, and it will be sweet.

Best Wishes,
Darrel
