Robot Modeling Part 2

I have added more to both the torso and the shoulders of the robot. Not much more to be said there. I do need to work on giving the shoulders more dimension than they currently have, but I am just about done with them. Here is what the robot looks like now.

Robot Modeling

I have been working on making the robot I designed parts of in Maya, and thus far I have made basic models of the torso and part of the shoulders. Once I finish the basic models of every part of the robot, I will make a separate save to rig the basic model so that I can make a more complex model later without losing any progress. This is what I have right now.

Skill Objective

My goal for this project is to be able to create a robot in Maya and have it move through a scene (in other words, animate it). In order to do this, I will have to make the design for the robot in Photoshop or Sketchbook Pro (or both), then put that design in the image plane(s) in Maya so that I can use it as a template. Once I get the template, I have to build the robot and learn to rig it so that it moves properly, which hopefully doesn't take long. I will also have to learn how to make scenes in Maya, which I think will be the hardest part of doing this project.
