robotics (WIP)

[MarioRothenbuehler]

hi all....

here is our newest robotics animation....
done for showing how our robot work in sheet metal bending
(the robot don't bend, he only hold the sheet)
enjoy

-500 frames a 10-14 min. (dual xeon 3.2 Ghz)
-lot of blurry reflections
-geometrie are importet from our cad system
-animation is done with HD-IK-Solver

if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me

Looking good, the bending looks just right, I think the arm is missing a little wobble when it stops or changes direction.

Hello Mario, I've been envolved with all the bending laminated iron problems for a while, and, the die looks about right, the problem is that actually looks like it goes all the way down so it can bend the panel up to 90° right? Well, if it is like that i want to tell you that the dies that bend the panels up to 90° are actually 82° because the die don't go all the way down, that's why the press brakes have abut 2" of adjust, u can actually make over 20° different angles with the same die.
And 2, i think it would look so much better if you add some hdri just for reflections, and also add more frames to it, because the animation's just right, but i can see the stepping on the missing frames.
Other than that, PERFECT!

RErender: the sheetmetal don't wobble !

Zero One: i know the real world problems about the bending proces.....
but we make animations... and don't care about fine production details...
maybe i add some hdri reflections on the next animation....

Syclone1: thanks

yes, my sentence wasn't clear, what I meant was the robotic arm when it changes direction or stops.

the robot arms don't wobble..... !
here you can show a video from the old design we have..... but same
mechanics...
