Along side of the astromech droid R2-D2, Threepio played a vital and pivotal role in the Galaxy’s history. How to draw Star Wars characters – C-3PO C-3PO is a humanoids robot and as such it presents the obvious difficulty of drawing convincingly a humanoid figure. That is the main obstacle. Once the figure is set and the proportions are right it’s just a game of adding the details of its chassis. With a bit of patience you should be able to get to a result like this one. Let’s start with the core of the body so torso and hips. It’s never a mistake to start with these big masses as they will automatically guide the orientation and position of the limbs and head. Trace a red line to individuate the midline of the body. How to draw Star Wars characters – C-3PO Now add all of the body elements using simple shapes such as circles and rectangles. See how the shoulders are represented by big circles and also the joints are represented by circles? Also draw the red midline on the head too as to define the orientation of the head and the direction of the gaze of the android. Finally use squares and rectangles to position approximately the hands and feet.

Obviously a reference picture will be necessary here if you want to be accurate in reproducing this character. Let’s start with the big concentric plate on the torso just below the pectoral masses. Continue, sing the underneath skeleton as a reference to draw the detail of the armour for the arms. Notice how I am just suggesting here the presence of the mechanical parts without being too detailed. How to draw Star Wars characters – C-3PO Proceed with the legs. Notice how the thighs taper toward the knees and that the knees themselves have a cylindrical shape. [quote_box_center]C-3PO was played by Anthony Daniels in all six Star Wars films.

In Episode I, a skeletal C-3PO model was puppeteered, with Anthony Daniels providing the voice-over, and the puppeteer was then digitally removed in post-production[/quote_box_center] How to draw Star Wars characters – C-3PO Once the general shapes of the solids that form the legs is defined add a layer of details on top of it to achieve resemblance to the original droid. The last part is the head. not difficult at all if you think about it. Eyes are perfectly circular and place exactly at the middle of the face. Nose is not existent and mouth is a short and narrow horizontal aperture. How to draw Star Wars characters – C-3PO To complete the drawing notice that the head has a sort of metallic border around its medial part. Like it had been printed in two halves and joined through this line. Delete all the construction lines and as usual we are left with a darn good representation of this favorite character. To finish the drawing off color it in black if you wish and add small metallic shadows on the various surfaces to create the impression of metallic reflection. You drawing is successfully completed now!

[td_block8 limit=”3″ custom_title=”You may also be interested in”] TAGS Intelligent Machines: The truth behind AI fiction - BBC News BBC News Intelligent Machines: The truth behind AI fiction By Jane Wakefield Technology reporter 11 September 2015 Close share panel Image copyright Thinkstock Image caption Machines are getting more human, but will they ever be like they are portrayed in films? Artificial intelligence (AI) is the science of making smart machines, and it has come a long way since the term was coined in the 1950s. Nowadays, robots work alongside humans in hotels and factories, while driverless cars are being test driven on the roads. Behind the scenes, AI engines in the form of smart algorithms "work" on stock exchanges, offer up suggestions for books and films on Amazon and Netflix and even write the odd article. But AI does not have the greatest public image - often due to sci-fi films that display dystopian visions of robots taking over the world. Over the next week, the BBC will be looking into all aspects of artificial intelligence - from how to build a thinking machine, to the ethics of doing so, to questions about whether an AI can ever be creative.

Read more in our Intelligent Machines special report. For many, the only reference point they have for AI comes from films. So what is the reality of where we are with the technology, and is it anything like the fictional future we have created? The all-knowing machine Image copyright ALAMY/IBM Hal is perhaps the most famous AI turned bad. Created by Arthur C Clarke for the book and film 2001: A Space Odyssey, Hal stands for Heuristically Programmed Algorithmic Computer. Designed to control the systems of the Discovery One spacecraft, on which much of the film is set, as well as interact with the crew, it quickly starts taking its own course - one that does not involve humans. Perhaps the closest we currently have to Hal is Watson, IBM's supercomputer, which can understand natural language and read millions of documents in seconds. In 2011, it beat the world's two best players of the Jeopardy quiz show. Unlike Hal, it is currently working in harmony with humans, in diverse fields such as the research and development departments of big companies such as Proctor and Gamble and Coca-Cola - helping them find new products.

It is also being used in a dozen US hospitals, helping oncologists find treatments for cancer. It has even been incorporated into a toy dinosaur, allowing children their first taste of communication with an AI. They can ask the dinosaur questions and Watson will help it answer them. The killer robot Image copyright ALAMY and Boston Dynamics T-800, the Terminator robot from the films of the same name, has living tissue over a metal endoskeleton and is programmed to kill on behalf of Skynet, an artificially intelligent system that has taken over the world's computers in order to destroy the human race. No AIs yet being developed have self-awareness and all are programmed to help humankind. The exception to this is military robots, which are increasingly being developed for deployment on battlefields, where their role could be more contentious. The US military unit Darpa is developing lots of robotic kit, such as exoskeletons to give soldiers superhuman strength and access to visual displays that will help their decision making. It is also using Atlas robots, developed by Boston Dynamics, intended for search and rescue. Although there are currently no killer robots, there is a campaign to stop them ever being produced, and the UN has said that no weapon should be operated without human control.

The helpful robot Image copyright ALAMY and Softtbank C-3PO is a humanoid robot from the Star Wars films. He is designed to serve human beings and boasts of being fluent in over six million forms of communication. His main job is to assist etiquette, customs and translation so that meetings of different cultures run smoothly. In the real world, companion robots are really starting to take off. Pepper is a humanoid robot, developed by technology firm SoftBank, that went on sale in Japan this summer and sold out almost immediately. Its big selling point is that it can supposedly recognise human emotions. So if you look sad when you get home from work, it will suggest that you play some music. It has learnt about human emotions by watching videos showing facial expressions. The cleaning robot Image copyright Rex and iRobot Wall-E is a little robot from the Disney film of the same name, left to tidy up after humanity leaves the planet in a mess. Short for Waste Allocation Loader Lift Earth-Class, Wall-E is the ultimate in loveable machines. Although not as cute as Wall-E, vacuums programmed to clean up are probably the first example of domestic learning robots.

The company iRobot makes the best-known brand, the Roomba, which, as of February 2014, had sold more than 10 million units. It automatically guides itself around home via onboard sensors which also detect obstacles. At the end of cleaning it takes itself back to its docking station to charge. Anecdotal evidence suggests some people become as attached to them as pets and take them on holiday. The human-looking robot Ava - the lifelike android from 2015 science fiction film Ex-Machina, is the ultimate in AIs. Able to conduct a conversation on any topic, show empathy with humans and look entirely human herself, she also has her own agenda, and it is one that does not involve humans. This type of AI is the one that people fear the most, and while the cleverness of Ava is very far from being achieved, a few people have experimenting with creating robots that look entirely human. Robotic engineer Hiroshi Ishiguro made a robotic copy of himself, dubbed Geminoid, to study human-robot interaction.

Image copyright ALAMY and ATR Hiroshi Ishiguro Lab He used silicon rubber to represent skin - but cosmetic company L'Oreal recently teamed up with bio-engineering start-up Organovo to 3D print human skin, potentially making even more lifelike androids possible. Prof Chetan Dube, chief executive of software firm IPsoft, has developed a virtual assistant called Amelia, and he firmly believes robotics and AI are about to come together. He believes Amelia will be given human form indistinguishable from the real thing at some point this decade. Top 10 Greatest Robots In Movies - Listverse Top 10 Greatest Robots In Movies Listverse Staff August 1, 2008 Everyone loved robots, and they have been the source of umpteen movies, books, and comics. In homage to the robots of film, we have picked the 10 greatest. This list is restricted entirely to robots in movies – there are no robots here from television. I have also excluded robots that are part of a large group, such as the droid army from Attack of the Clones.

10 Johnny 5 Short Circuit Johnny 5 (originally called “S-A-I-N-T Prototype Number 5”) is the fictional robotic star of the movies Short Circuit and Short Circuit 2 and a TV special called Hot Cars, Cold Facts. He is a former military robot imbued with intelligence and sentience by a lightning bolt, and is considered to be alive in the philosophical sense, as he has emotions and is self-aware. Johnny 5 is very curious and inquisitive with an almost insatiable thirst for “input” of just about any kind, but he is especially fond of books and television. While he started life as a military prototype he has a great respect for life and refuses to use his capabilities to harm others, even when they have no such compunctions towards him. He is very intelligent and inventive with an encyclopedic knowledge, but can be quite naive and child-like at times and can be too eager to trust people that he shouldn’t.

Animation, based on the 1968 novel The Iron Man by Ted Hughes (Sylvia Plath’s husband). Brad Bird directed the film, which stars a voice cast of Eli Marienthal as Hogarth Hughes, as well as Jennifer Aniston, Harry Connick Jr., Vin Diesel, Christopher McDonald and John Mahoney. The film tells the story of a lonely boy raised by his single mother, discovering a giant amnesiac “iron man” that fell from space. Hogarth, with the help of a beatnik named Dean, has to stop a military force and an egotistical federal agent from finding and destroying the Giant out of paranoia. [ More ] 8 Mechagodzilla Godzilla Mechagodzilla is Godzilla’s mechanical doppelgänger from various Godzilla movies. The original Mechagodzilla was created as a weapon of destruction by the Simians. It first appeared in a pseudo-flesh outer covering, masquerading as the real Godzilla during attacks against Japan in Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla. Curiously, while the Simians gave Mechagodzilla a laser beam in his mouth to mimic Godzilla’s atomic ray, they didn’t bother replicating Godzilla’s unique roar.

Godzilla’s ally Anguirus wasn’t fooled by the impostor, but in the resulting fight Mechagodzilla broke Anguirus’ jaw and sent him fleeing underground. [ More ] 7 Pris Pris is a “pleasure model” (incepted on Valentine’s Day) created for entertainment and thus even more of a slave-object than the others. However, she shows that she can be quite adept at manipulation of the human male when she uses her wiles to “make friends” with J.F. Sebastian, a man who, until then, literally built his friends. Pris is also the girlfriend of fellow replicant Roy Batty. At an A Physical Level, she is shown to have super-human endurance (as in the scene where she grabs a boiling egg with her bare hand and tosses it to Sebastian). Her B Mental Level puts her at a lower intellectual level than Roy. [ More ] 6 Terminator The Terminator “The Terminator” is a character portrayed by Arnold Schwarzenegger — a cyborg, initially portrayed as a programmable assassin and military infiltration unit.

In the fictional Terminator universe, the Terminator is a formidable robotic assassin and soldier, designed by the military supercomputer Skynet for infiltration and combat duty, towards the ultimate goal of exterminating the human resistance. It can speak naturally, copy the voices of others, read human handwriting, and even genuinely sweat, smell, and bleed. To detect the Terminators, who are otherwise indistinguishable from humans, the human resistance uses dogs to alert humans to their presence. [ More ] 5 Ash Alien Ash is the Nostromo’s science officer from the movie Alien. He administers medical treatment, conducts biological research and is responsible for investigating any alien life forms the crew may encounter. It is at Ash’s insistence that the crew investigates the mysterious signal emanating from LV-426. After the Alien has eliminated several of the other crew members, Ripley discovers through the ship’s computer “MOTHER” that Ash has been given special orders by the Weyland-Yutani Corporation to ensure the return of the Alien to the company’s laboratories, even at the expense of the crew. When confronted by Ripley, Ash attacks her. Due to the risk of spoilage, I will say no more – you need to watch the film to see what happens next!

Threepio’s main function as a protocol droid is to assist with etiquette, customs, and translation so that meetings of different cultures run smoothly. In his time, C-3PO loyally served over forty masters. R2 has often been a “box of tricks” for the protagonists, including many apparatti and manipulators. Some of his gadgets include a taser, a gripping tool, a computer interface, and a periscope. This “box of tricks” image was parodied by Star Wars Spoofs with an image of R2 featuring such items as a popcorn machine and a bottle opener plus other traditional pocket knife items. [ More | More ] 3 Robby the Robot Forbidden Planet Robby the Robot was a popular fictional character who made a number of appearances in science fiction movies and television programs from 1956 onward.

Robby the Robot was a 7.2 foot, 2 inch tall mechanical suit designed for an actor to wear, to play the part of a robot. It was originally designed for the 1956 MGM movie Forbidden Planet, and quickly became a science fiction movie and television icon. As Forbidden Planet was inspired by Shakespeare’s play The Tempest, Robby’s character was inspired by the Sprite in the play. Before the appearance of Robby, robots in movies and plays tended to lack personality characteristics, being simple mechanical devices. Since his appearance, robots with personalities have become more and more common in movies. [ More ] 2 Gort The Day The Earth Stood Still Gort is a fictional humanoid robot in the 1951 movie The Day the Earth Stood Still. The giant metal robot accompanies Klaatu, a visitor to Earth from a distant planet, aboard a flying saucer. He does not speak, but uses a beam weapon projected from beneath a visor to vaporize weapons and obstacles. Klaatu described him as being part of an interstellar police force.

He claims that the people of the universe constructed numerous robots like Gort and gave them irrevocable powers to respond to violent actions in order to “preserve the peace.” He further claims that “There’s no limit to what [Gort] could do. He could destroy the Earth.” The character was based loosely on Gnut, a giant green robot from outer space in “Farewell to the Master”, a 1940 short story by Harry Bates which was used as the basis for Edmund H. North’s screenplay. [ More ] 1 False Maria Maria, the Maschinenmensch from Metropolis, played by German actress Brigitte Helm in both her robotic and human incarnations, is one of cinema’s most famous icons. The haunting blank face and pronounced female curves have been the subject of disgust and fascination alike. The Maschinenmensch has many names given her through the years: Parody, Ultima, Futura, Robotrix, (false) Maria and Hel. The Maschinenmensch’s back story is detailed in Thea von Harbou’s original 1927 novel.

It is described as a very delicate, but faceless, transparent figure made of crystal flesh with silver bones and its eyes filled with an expression of calm madness. Rotwang addresses it as “Parody”. The Maschinenmensch is a perfect example of the Frankenstein complex, where artificial creations turn against their creator and go on a rampage. Artificial beings with a malevolent nature were a popular theme at the time. [ More ] This article is licensed under the GFDL because it contains quotations from the Wikipedia articles cited above.

The Maschinenmensch is a perfect example of the Frankenstein complex, where artificial creations turn against their creator and go on a rampage.

Artificial beings with a malevolent nature were a popular theme at the time. [ More ] This article is licensed under the GFDL because it contains quotations from the Wikipedia articles cited above.

Published on Mar 7, 2015 C-3PO (/siːˈθriːpi.oʊ/, phonetically spelled See-Threepio; 3PO or Threepio for short) is a humanoid robot character from the Star Wars universe who appears in the original Star Wars films, the prequel trilogy and the upcoming sequel trilogy. He was also a major character in the ABC television show Droids, and appears frequently in the series' "Expanded Universe" of novels, comic books, and video games.

Along with R2-D2, he is one of only two characters to appear in all seven Star Wars films. C-3PO is played by Anthony Daniels in all seven films; he and R2-D2 (played by Kenny Baker) are also the only characters portrayed by the same actor in all seven films.[citation needed] C-3PO is a protocol droid designed to serve human beings, and boasts that he is fluent in "over six million forms of communication". He is generally seen with his long-time counterpart, R2-D2. Threepio's main function is to assist etiquette, customs, and translation, so that meetings of different cultures run smoothly. Threepio and R2-D2 played vital and pivotal roles in the Galaxy's history. While protocol/interpreter droids range in color, C-3PO appears primarily in gold finish with silver from the right knee down. Category
