Robot Model<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I added some final touches for the robot texture, and also added an armature and weights<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made up another brand for lore resons : What would a robotic\/tech company in the 80’s be named? Preferably one from Eastern Europe\/west Aisia and the Slavic region. It had to be related to something that conveys trust and also shows that the goal is to help humanity. Also it has to be a bit pretentious of course lol
“Simurgh” is the name of a creature from Persian and Kurdish mythology (also present to some extent in arabic literature and slavic\/eastern european mythology). It looks like a gryphon with peacock feathers, a dog’s head and the claws of lions. It is described as a benevolent, wise, and is associated with nurture, renewal and unity. It also shares many traits with the phoenix.
I remeber reading a summarized version of a “The Conference of the Birds”, which is a story told in poems about it (I didn’t understand arabic well enough to read the original), and that lead me to read more about the original story and other interpretations, so I went with that. Another candidate was the bird “Roc” or “Rukh” from “One Thousand and One Nights”, but the name didn’t sound as good.
I didn’t want to use Phoenix, Gryphon and other similar names because they’re too clich\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a few screenshots and renders of the model<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used a color mask so that I can give NPCs different colors. The default color is pure white, with the desired color multiplied with it. The mask is used to only apply the color on the desired spots.<\/p>\n\n\n
