MMP1 _ Alexa echo-defense mech

[翻译] : 这是一个我为大学学期项目设计的小型变形角色。初衷是赋予一个日常物品全新的含义，赋予无生命的物体生命。最终成果是这个回声防御哨兵。它装备了两个开放弹匣的.22短枪平台，使其成为一个相当能胜任防御任务的机器人。它的感知系统包括一个大角度的红外摄像头和4个小型深度摄像头，以增强深度感知。

从机械角度来看，这个机器人设计得相对可信且功能齐全。模型、纹理和渲染全部使用Blender完成。我在Photoshop中进行了最终渲染的色彩校准，并添加了一些细节，如图像边缘附近的线条和文字。动画主要是为了好玩，同时也试验了基于标记的运动追踪和高清天空盒（HDRI）制作。最大的挑战是将智能手机拍摄的内容与360度高清天空盒旋转视频融合。结果远非完美，如果时间更充裕，本可以进一步优化。

This is a little transformer-type character I designed as part of my semester-project for university. The idea was to give an everyday object a completely new meaning and breathe life into an inanimate thing.

The result is this echo-defense sentinel. It is equipped with two open-bolt weapon platforms chambered in .22 short, resulting in a quite competent defense robot. His sensory array consists of one large IR-capable wide-angle camera and 4 smaller depth cameras for enhanced depth perception.
The robot was designed to be somewhat believable and - from a mechanical standpoint - fully operational.
Modeling, Texturing and Rendering was completely done in Blender. I used Photoshop to color-grade the final render and to add small details such as the lines and text close to the borders of the image.
The animation was created mostly as a gimmick and to experiment with marker-based motion tracking aswell as trying out HDRI-creation. The biggest challenge was blending the smartphone footage with the 360 HDRI turntable spin. The result is far from perfect and - if more time had been available - could_ve been further refined.
