Pixar Lamp Mech (Mashup)

Hi, my name is Ethan I will be showing you how I made my Luxo Pixar Mech! This idea is a mashup between a giant robot and Luxo, the lamp in the Pixar intro that jumps on the letter “I”. I noticed that the lamp struggled to step on the “I” in the intro, so I made him a mech body to give him more power.

I combined many basic shapes for the feet such as rectangles and triangles. The pads are made with rectangles with diagonal sides, and I repeated this pattern 3 times. I made the middle base with 2 more rectangles and another diagonal side cutout. The top calf is also made similarly, with many smaller rectangles smoothing out the edges and adding holes.

Legs are also pretty simple, just a white rectangle with many diagonal cut outs. There is a gear made with a polygon and a polycup on the side as well.

First I started with one big white rectangle and made diagonal cuts as you can see. Then I added one gray rectangle on the bottom, and 2 hexagons. I then added another gray rectangle in the middle, and put a torus with a side count of 10 over it.

This is first made with one big white cube, and many diagonal cuts on the side. I added small details with hexagons like lug nuts and random lines. Then, I added a long octagon through the middle to form the bar that would connect the arms to the body.

The top part of the arms is first made with a white rectangles with diagonal edges. Then, I added a smaller gray rectangle to the bottom with more cutouts. I used a hexagonal shaped hole to make a dent in the white box and added a MetaCrib in the center. Then I added more hexagons for details. The bottom part of the arm is made with a white rectangle with diagonal edges. I repeated and extended this shape to add reinforcements to it. I then added a triangle to the bottom.

The head is made with 2 Paraboloids and a sphere for the lightbulb. The mechanism on the back is drawn with the scribble shape and little spheres are for the rivets.

I used the text tool to make a Pixar logo in black text. Then I added a Meta Fillet shape to make the iconic blue background. I then put the robot into a cool pose where it looked like it was going to stomp on the "I".

Anyway, that's it! This was fun to make and I hope you enjoyed.
