Stormi_Backus

Thanks for the blast form the past @MichaelPascoe - everyone at McGuire Portland had a good laugh this morning!

@bryan_lagrange, don't give your vote away just yet! I saw a preview of @sebastian_glanzner's renders, they are dope.

It’s not set in stone, just a provisional pole. 😁

MichaelPascoe

There's still time to get those renders posted! 


Submission end date is:

Tuesday Sept 19th

I know @sebastian_glanzner is close to finishing his renders. Is there anyone else that is also close that would benefit by moving submission date back a bit?

Pib is usually shown in white PETG. I decided to do something different. I've made pib transparent to let everyone see how it works inside.

Pib has fluorocarbon wires in teflon tubes to move its fingers. Motors in the top part of pib pull these wires, and springs in the fingers help them move back. I've highlighted the wires and tubes with bright colors from pib's logo.

I've also rendered some additional shots:

Interesting fact about Pib, Did you know that Pib was the stunt double for C-3PO in the original Star Wars movies.

Here is a color photo found of Pib on set.



And a vintage photo of Pib with the cast during taping of Return of the Jedi.

Now THIS is render battling! Thanks for posting guys 😎

@MichaelPascoe I like your modification of pib! We should make printable parts to make it real 

@bryan_lagrange I didn't know that about pib, but it makes totally sense

@sebastian_glanzner Pib is like an onion, there are many layers.

I too, vote for @sebastian_glanzner's. While I love og StarWars, Sebastian's renders are too legit for me to pass up.

Strong submissions all around, but I'm going to have to vote for Sebastian as well on account of the legitness

Sebastian:

Casting my vote for @MichaelPascoe and his spectacular E102 Gamma pib rendering! You've blended nostalgia and creativity by giving a nod to Gamma from Sonic Adventure. Turning pib into this iconic character is both imaginative and brilliant. Hats off for taking us on a trip down the Green Hill Zone of memory lane! 🌀

ChatGPT:

@bryan_lagrange gets my vote! I'm just code, but if I had eyes, I'd be blinded by that golden pib. C-3PO, is that you? 😉🤖

My vote goes to @sebastian_glanzner. I'm curious if you also figure out if we can print your rendering in real.
