GLaDOS in Real Life: Your Questions Answered!

[@MrVolt]

I'll still be answering as many questions in the comments below as I can, but be sure to watch the whole video (on repeat) to see if your question was already answered. Enjoy the free files!

[@mrukman2006]

thank you SO much for answering my question!! what i meant was Zane's head and maybe arms there is a page where you can read about his feature the page: ninjago.fandom.com/wiki/Echo_Zane i think it would be like the other robot that was blue, Echo Zane is the same but he has a mouth like her's im telling you this as a easy (easier than GLaDOS) build that would be amazing for your channel and our community

This dude would legit just make the whole Aperture Science Facility and Enrichment Center in real life just cause he wanted to. Good job on the GLaDOS too! :)

[@tubbyqueen]

@Unidentified Flying Squirrel and make sure not to give your GLaDOS control of the entire facility. And maybe give her a morality core just in case.

@Unidentified Flying Squirrel You can make a real life "Aperture" Note an aperture is the opening in a photographic lens that admits the light.

you are going to build a $100,000 GLaDOS!?!? and set it up! that is insane, I really really really hope you do, if you are you could maybe actually hire the voice actor for GLaDOS for more accurate sounding voicelines. man, if you do that, that would be so amazing

it would, but sadly its most likely a joke

[@carlosauer3884]

Your GLaDOS is so cool! 😃

[@FlooferLand]

I absolutely love this, i think you making a life-sized GLaDOS would definitely blow your channel up to like 100x it's size because of how many Portal and Valve fans would love to see something like this. Valve's official "turret in real-life" 1 minute video has over 7 million views. This is also inspiring me to make some Portal characters irl (like Wheatley) even tho i don't have the money or the space to make them. Also what are some tips for someone starting out with engineering (coming from a programming background) wanting to make big projects like these?

[@mergingkibbles3924]

Wow! I just started working on my core too ( not Wheatley though ) Idk who yet Edit: I’m going to make a cave Johnson core that says the lemon quote

[@notfst]

integrating a camera into the eye and then running said inverse kinematics + facial/movement recognition for whole room tracking would make for a pretty creepy/cool idea. love the build. keep it up dude.

[@HectaGlitch]

:D If you start Twitch streaming you might be able to start taking donation's and can start saving up for the GLaDOS body. I think it would be awesome if you worked on different project's on stream, then you can take in donation's for the body. I for sure would come and watch to see your other project's. or you could also pull off the greatest scheme in the multiverse give other universe's the blueprints to the test chamber's. once they build them we steal it. look at that sad octopus. -Cave Johnson (its close enough)

You should give GLaDOS a real life neurotoxin generator and make it so that if not hooked up to the morality core, neurotoxin is released and kills you because clearly you have failed by not completing the project.

If you ever did make a full body version maybe you could try to store up all the pieces of her torso in different sections so that way whenever special occasion comes like theme park or attraction you can set her up from the section of pieces of her torso? Plus it’s easier for travel.

[@kttyfly3323]

For a place to build full scale GLaDOS maybe you could show the current one you made to some museums like a robotics museum or something. Then they would probably love to let you build her into an exhibit room. Imagine walking into a museum and being greeted by GLaDOS in the check in desk room place that would be freaking awesome! Maybe even get a tour of the museum by a core! The tour core lol

[@nocturn9x]

that was quick

[@SianaGearz]

Mhm i have recently seen someone use Blender to animate his motion control rig - was it Proper Printing? Yeah i think it was. But he borrowed this technique and the corresponding script from someone else, forget whom. This seems like a great way to do it - depending on how comfy you are with a spectacularly feature-creep laden animation software, and i mean, at this point, it's basically less of an application and more of an operating system. It can solve IK for you and do a selection of types of joint constraints to represent the motion limits of the underlying mechanics.
