Transformer short
 

well, in simplymaya IRC, one thing lead to another and now I'm making two transformers and having them battle in a short animation. The car is a Mercedes C class, and the jet is going to be an F1-11. I'll post images when I can cause this will quite likely take a long, long, long time. :confused:

First up, is what I have currently modelled of the car.

and another render. I've a lot to do :D

Just a bit more done. Hopefully have the robot and transformation done soon.

well.. It is quite messy. How did you do it... drage each vertex to that point where you wanted it to be ?

yeah, for the most part. At least this has been a good way to learn how to keep things together. With every mistake, I've found out something I can keep in mind for my next undertaking. :)

If it terns out good. Its good. and good attitude about learning for the next one.

Looking forward to the creative twists to using it as a transformer.

Made an animation test with primitives for the robot. Just getting an idea of what should go where.

Animation Test 320x240

Animation Test 640 x 480

OMG that is soooo cool!!!!

Sorry, I just got exited after looking at the animation. Wow, I can't wait to see it finished. Please hurry!!!

That's looking really good! I can see a resurgence of interest in Transformers around the corner thanks to that...

Hey Mike! How about a Transformers challenge sometime?

How would you rig this? Would it be all parented geometry or could you somehow build a skeleton?
