thanks!

Looks good so far nikolasmantilla, no real crits yet.  One thing you might want to consider, making a modelled spring bend like in real life is notoriously difficult in Anim8or (assuming that is your plan).  Morphs deform in a strictly linear fashion, so are difficult to use in this case, without creating several morph targets.  The best way is to use a number of bones constructed like a spine, with careful weight painting to the spring mesh, but note that bones cannot change in length through an animation so the tightness of your abdominal spring (already quite compressed) will allow for very minimal motion before the spring coils start to overlap .  If you do plan to have the springs bend as the bot dances I would recommend conducting a short test animation, rigging just a spring and checking out it's limitations etc.  Great work, looking forward to seeing him carve up the dancefloor!

nikolasmantilla:
Well, I did take your advice.. altho I have not yet tought on how im going to animate him. im too exitted to put somehting like this together. looks kind of crappy.. the feet that is but I think im getting there. I dont really understand how to animate in morphin, I was thinking bones, but Im unable to rezise object in figure mode. i dont know wha tim doing wrong.
anyways here is the new preview.

Josmic8or:

About resizing the object I think you have to do it in object mode :)
