Hello,
I hope for this time to finish this contest. (I moved in Greece...)
I will remain in realism as regards the vehicule because I wish to make a video to integrate it.
It will be a jetfighter, the SUKHOI - S37. Here is a link to see some references of it.
I will post a sketch of the transformation soon.
First modeling step :

with the forward swept wing style your choice of aircraft to model as a transformer is spot on :)
reminds me of one of the decepticon planes - maybe make it a baddie?

I don't have done a lot in 3d part. I'm still searching a robot concept.

Take a look at this site for some inspiration:

Great start kiveun! I am already seeing hints of starscream and skywarp in your model. Good luck in the challenge.

cgrein => Thanks a lot for this great links. :attn:
I discover this cartoon. In France, i never seen an episode of this before.
arran => Thanks. I will take a look for starscream and skywarp on website cgrein give me. When can i see your entry for this challenge? ;) I always need more inspiration.

Thanks mate - Tempting as it is, I think I am going to sit this one out as it is a little beyond me and I have lots to learn. Still, all of these great ideas and entries are making me think twice.:confused:

kiveun 16-03-2006 06:41 AM

I think that I will change starting idea...
I will try to start with a robot on which I would add parts so that it is transformed into vehicule...
I think that will be a little simpler...
I don't know ...:headbang:

I find a good inspiration for transformations a jet fighter can do.

But i'm still not sure what i will do ... :confused:

I think i found a concept i like.
It's a mech which transform in a spaceship with a form who make think about an insect like a fly.
Sorry for this wonderful sketch i did :shakehead
Already I'm not good for drawing ... with a mouse it's catastrophic

t1ck135 16-03-2006 08:34 AM

I have a little problem with renders ...:headbang:
When i render with mental ray I have a bug effect on some shape that i don't have in Maya Software render ...
Someone know how to resolve this ... ?
I'm modeling in Subds
Thanks for the help :bow:

Here is where i am for the moment :p
I still have this problem with MR unfortunately so i make Maya Software render...:headbang:

dilberts 17-03-2006 12:02 AM

kiveun, mental ray doesn't support subd's. Stick to regular polys and manually crease your edges by adding more lines where you need a tighter edge.

kiveun 17-03-2006 06:03 PM

Thanks for the advice Dilberts. I think i will stay in Subd's mode because it's a so easy way to make non-organic models :bandit:
I read in some forums that Turtle render Subd's. Maybe I will try it later.
