Description:

The RDS patrols the city streets looking for any last semblance of resistance, while the invaders sit quietly in office cubicles on the other side of the world.

This file contains a rigged RDS model, with a walk cycle animation, lighting, and post processing chain.

    Interesting node setup, I'm trying to figure it out ;) Awesome work.

    One thing I can criticize are those hair on lens dust layer, they are a little but too straight forward and clean.

    Very nice IK rig and model, but the nodes groups were very anooying to select and delete for customisation! can i ask you the use of the mask and the "near black" texture in blender internal? anyway, top notch sharing ( like the 3 near you in the list!).

    Cool model! I tried to figure out what's the setup there (with Multimix node) but didn't had a success yet.. I can't understand why different channels (after RGB separate) mixes with others. Can you share a principle (the concept) of this? Before your model I saw something similar in NiZu's Vault.. He separates different layers by levels of grey (lightness), It's to mix rust, paint and bumpiness... speculars maybe too.. I don't remember.

    The mix node just changes the roughness and the fresnel. The red channel of the texture represents the area where dust settings are applied. The green represents where oil settings are applied, and the blue where glass is on the model. Anywhere that isn't covered by those colours defaults to the settings I'm using for paint.

    Can you make a short text tutorial about this setup? I think it will be a really cool hint for all people who make such models. I can't get some things like IOR for coat... why it's 1.85 somewhere... It's Fresnel.. so is it looks like real (like IOR for thin coating) or is it "so called"? Does color to BW (yellow to grey dots) without the conversion node works fine? Why everywhere is Mix - not Screen or something other? If it was planned by some reasons then it's very interesting to know about 'em. Sorry if I'm boring :) You can do not explain all of this if you have no time or because you just don't want. I'm against manipulations.

    I know it is a few years old but I am hoping that someone might be able to point me in the right direction. The (amazing I might add) model seems to 'walk' a set distance. I've tried deleting keyframes in the dope sheet and played with the graph, but it still seems to be following a straight path though. I'd like to make it walk half the distance or even a subtle curve.
