Marcel posted a pic in another thread of a steam punk R2 so I though I'd have a go with SU.. there's abit of "artistic license" as it isn't a direct copy but still fun to do.
Rendered with Thea

Re: Steam punk R2D2
Nice work Nigec! Great idea to turn this little R2D2 unit into a Steampunk version. What about C3PO?
Thea renders beautifully.

...and here I thought it was a Cappuccino Machine for the SMC Challenge... 
Very nice work.
Thea looks to be a very nice rendering engine.

Re: Steam punk R2D2
Thanks guys 
Yes its Sketchup 6 pro.. version 7 hangs for some reason
, saying that all the plugins used are freebies and work with the free version of Sketchup, ie there's one that extrudes curved surfaces.. which was used for the wood, the holes in the dome, the other was a chamfer and round edge plugin, also a grill plugin for the floor.
I like Thea a lot, it'll have interactive rendering shortly, the image was a photon render, it would of been better if I'd used an unbias method but I didn't have time.. plus the daughter had pinched my network laptop lol
I haven't sussed human-ish shapes in SU yet so C3PO may have to wait lol

Re: Steam punk R2D2
those are for pansies
Yeah I'm thinking about it Finis, there's another character I want to try first
and maybe make R2 abit more grubby.
here he is rendered with Thea's bias renderer, I haven't touched R2 apart from making the red emitter duller and the glass on the lense and different mats on the corridor

Re: Steam punk R2D2
would you consider making a how-to tutorial of your r2d2 so that us SU newbies can also learn how to make great looking models and renders like that?
