I’ve been fiddling around with brazil lately and this is what I’ve got so far. Eventually it will be a four legged, armoured, mecha-bot type thing… but I’ve only got as far as the leg. Brazil kicks arse over max’s scanline renderer. I don’t know why I haven’t used it before!.. oh yeah, my computer is crap and renders take forever! ---

this version of brazil is free (public test version). I think it goes for 60 days then expires… but I’m not sure on that. The site is [splutterfish](http://www.splutterfish.com). I think they’ve temporarily stopped giving out the test version at the moment though. I could animate this, but my skills with animation are fairly limited and the final animation would take several hours to render for a few seconds animation… I wish I had that kind of time or a faster PC to render it on! ---

Here is an updated version on the work I’ve done so far. It’s coming together slowly, but I’m having a hard time with a few jagged edges on the legs themselves. They are geometrically smooth, but brazil makes a jagged line. Perhaps it’ll clear up when I adjust the sampling a bit higher and put lights in the scene? Let me know what you all think so far. ---

Ok, 3 hours later I have another render. I’ve blocked in the body and I’m going to start working on the details and the \*\*\*\*pit. I’m tossing up whether or not to get rid of the tank turret. I think it would look better with an artillery-like cannon mounted at an angle. {I’m already gritting my teeth at the prospect of the final render… its looking like a full day or so of rendering at this rate) ---

yeah very nice… have you tried to put on that render that was used by someone not long about that gave a realistic shine to it. i think that would look great. [Next page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/robot-in-progress-3d-max/18980.md?page=2)
