    Has anyone attempted to model the VGC-60L from the movie "Robot&Frank"?

    Tumblr (robotandfrank.tumblr.com)

    It was a suit with a human actor inside, but I like the design so much that I'd like to use the shell for my own robot with my own tweaks.
    He looks like Honda's ASIMO, but I like the VGC's head better.I'd actually like to use the newly announced JIBO desktop robot inside the VGC head for its social software. I'm looking at a combination of the Intel NAO physicality with Jibo social interaction/apps in the VGC shell, and just wondered if anyone had modeled it. Searching has found nothing, even from Alterian (the SFX shop that designed/built the suit). Just wondering if somebody had something on it before I tried it...

    Hey, a guy can dream, right? πŸ˜‰

    Thanks in advance...

    Bob

      If you are going to tweak it anyway, you might want to use one of the ASIMO models in the 3D warehouse. The body has a similar build and you could model a new head if you need to.

        I cannot see what is so difficult in modeling this, give it a go, we will help if you get stuck.

          Pete's correct.

          It is mainly a series of primitives.

          You'll learn lots tackling this.

            I was fixated on searching for the VGC and blew by the ASIMO models, thanks for the reminder.
            I'm using the internal mechanics from some open source humanoids like InMOOV (hands)and Intel's Jimmy (arms/legs), with the VGC head.

            Since the Tumblr pics available, it will give me a chance to try some of the photo to 3D modelling freeware out there now to start the head.

            Thanks for the suggestions.
