Sagaris' CAD & Render Showcase
« on: March 06, 2019, 08:03:57 AM »
So I made quite a few CAD's in the beginning of January and today decided to get back into CAD designs after a two month break. So, I looked back at my DSL showcase and noticed a spinner called "Midnight", so made a big chunky vert in CAD and recreated Midnight.

The weapon supports look really flimsy.  This might work for a low weightclass, but the weapon will most likely fall off from a good horizontal impact.
I have several opinions.

I will probably revise this within the next few days then and give the disc supports additional supports. Probably also beef up the wheel guards while I'm at it too.

Looks like you've tacked on a disc to a flipper chassis

So...since yesterday I have downloaded loads of motor models and thought I would try and put a robot together built around said motors. I recreated my DSL robot "Azure" starting from the drive motors, creating a bar and adding a custom belted motor.

I also this time around made sure the bar had better supports, meaning the supports have their own supports to hold them up.

Feels like you're trying to make it out of Ra2 parts, just in CAD. Try making more organic supports and shapes.
