The main idea behind Quantum Robots is reusable poses.
There are Three main robot parts the Body with arms, legs and neck the head with eyes and mouth the hands with fingers and thumbs
each with reusable poses
each can be put together to make a robot More InFormation
To help pose the different parts of a robot I've created 3 window
programs. PosenLR: poses the body PosenH: poses the hands PosenF: poses the face
All these programs create txt files that are read by Quantum Robot's
POV files.
I had to put them in sepaerate zips because of upload limitations.
ScreenShot
PosenLR uses a 3d stick figure that you pose using the keyboard
and a mouse.
The stick figure is facing in the -Z direction with +Y being up.
You right click on a point and use the number pad to rotate it
You can also rotate the view of the stick figure.
There is a rotate delta that let you change the rate at which a rotation
occurs. The default is 5 degrees.This program uses integers, if you
must have an angle that is a fraction you'll have to edit the file by
hand.
This program will try and rotate a point to align it to another in one
of three plane X,Y,Z.
You can set one of 6 contact points that Quantum Robot uses.
ScreenShot PosenH uses the same basic interface that PosenLR does.
The stick figure is a right hand facing in the -Z direction.
This program does have the align function PosenLR has
but doesn't need the contact function.
ScreenShot PosenF was made to adjust the eyelids, pupils, where the
eyes look,
and the mouth. It's interface only uses the 3 direction rotation for
the eyes.
The pupils can grow larger or smaller. There are two lids for each eye
that
raise or lower independently.
Right now both pupils are the same size and both eyes look the same
direction.
Quantum Robots in a Zip
I used Win Zip to create the zip.
When unzipping it be sure
to use the use folder names.
Quantum robots has lots of subfolders
in this zip.
