AO-Maru the Friendly Robot

The JesterArts/Leo Blanchette Design and Illustration blog has moved to WordPress: http://jesterarts.wordpress.com/ Check it out for designer tutorials and JesterArts updates!

AO-Maru the Friendly Robot.

I created this robot as a sort of "friendliness assistant" to designers. AO-Maru is a technological wonder, inquisitive in nature, and does his job very well when it comes to bringing to life concepts such as (obviously) robotics, web design, programming, and more. He's also been used in medical and community design projects!

Like all of my 3d work, he is created and rendered in Blender 3d. This particular model uses Yafray to render, since yafray does a wonderful job at accomplishing realism without having to wait five days for the render to complete.

In the near future I intend to render many more poses, hopefully involving unique objects besides the robot himself, and  involved in as many conceptual and useable situations as possible.

If you would like any special poses, please send me your requests. I may be able to get a few done.
