SWTOR | BN-T0 & BN-T1 Hexdroid Minipets

This is a hexagonal astromech droid for Star Wars the Old Republic I designed and modeled for our Join the Fight promotional bundle. These hexagonal droids, in differing colorways were used as both minipets and functional gameplay access points for the player.

These droids spawned collapsed, and then opened up their solar panels and deployed robot arms down through the center column. All design, modeling, vfx, animation, etc. was done quickly within a week.

I started out with a pencil sketch concept, using elements and components of the traditional astromech droids, like the coin slots, vent fans and charge ports, and used them on a hexagonal frame along with pop open upper solar panels and opening lower panels for holo projectors that display the icons for what function they provide in game.
