RIG.B(RUGBY) Texture Entry

This will be my final render and my submission to this contest. I created a park environment covered in grass and trees. I made a running pose of RIG.B holding a ball and rendered it with motion blur and depth of field.

I made a test render for the model and started on finding the right poses.

Finished up on the details, such as bumps and scratches, and all other things that makes RIG.B look old and dirty. I also played with the Ambient Occlusion and the Curvature a bit to improve the look of the textures. I also made some adjustments to the Roughness and Metallic to get a realistic reflection of the metals. Lastly, I used a grunge dirt map on the entire model and played with the roughness, so that it looks like it's being rained on.

To begin with, my concept for RIG.B is an old rundown robot struggling to compete in a game of rugby. I used references of robots from Transformers, especially Bumblebee, and also references of Metroid Samus. The first time I saw the model, I immediately thought that it looks like a rugby player, so I gathered references of NFL uniforms and helmets to make RIG.B look the part.

For the color scheme, I referenced it from NFL's Cincinnati Bengals which is orange and black. I tried different color schemes but the ones that work best were orange and black. I've completed the base color and decals and from there, I'll develop scratches, dirt, and a little bit of curvature to improve the realism of the model.
