Gyroscopic Sawdrone

3D Model

An autonomous attack drone, which appears to have been machined and pieced together by a psycho with too much time on their hands. While its combat potential is dubious at best, the sound of its sawblade is enough to put anyone on edge.

I wanted to create something more animation-heavy, and I’ve been meaning to make a model with a gyroscope incorporated into it somehow. Has 6 animations in addition to its static pose.

NOTE: Sometimes the sawblade appears to be spinning the wrong way, but I can confirm it is going in the right direction (I’ve double checked the model myself, and you can see for yourself when you check the bones in the model inspector). After some research, it seems to have to do with something called the “stroboscopic effect”, in which the sawblade would appear to spin slowly, in the wrong direction, or not move at all, depending on the speed its spinning at
