Hi All,
I recently won the Stan Winston Robot Design Contest with this entry, getting a 3D printed prototype of the Robobeast from Legacy Effects as the prize. I made a rough model sketch of the forms in ZBrush, and did most of the hard surface modeling in Softimage for the water-tightness required for 3D printing. ZBrush was instrumental in the concept process, and not only used in the design phase, but also as a final step with the 3D print exporter; a feature I’d love to see upgraded and enhanced as the quality of 3D printing gets better and closer to consumer budgets. You can see more pictures of the final prototype at http://legacyeffectsblog.com/robot-design-contest-winner/.
