You shaped your CO2 molecules like H2O. CO2 is a non-polar molecule, therefore C and the 2 Os are in a straight line.
Artistic license–they needed feet
Well, LochDhu, just because it is non-polar does not make it a linear molecule. H-F is very polar, and can be thought of as linear. It really has more to do with how they are bonded than whether they are polar.
