Ok everybody.
I appreciate for all that excitement, but...
I think you guys are thinking that this model already have full animatic FK/IK system , and all those parts that transform are correctly done.
Well is not...
I would need to go back and remake all the rigging stuff, and the UVS at the moment are useless, and some interior parts doesn`t fit when`s in the car shape so I`m hiding it ( and those kind of stuff that I would like to replace and make it not hidden).
It is still a long way to go.
But so for those who ask me how I did that so far I will post some WIP pics, and information...that might help.
So let start.
first I started with the car, because obviously my intention here is to make something to transform into a car.
and after the car is done, I started to break the body into peaces.
(Before I start breaking I knew quite for sure with part go where when this model get tranformed, so wasn`t too difficult to figure`t out how I should break it, so my advice is to get to know how you going to break and make it transform)
thanks for the reply, i really hope you do consider making a video tutorial, the reason being i actually find it easier to follow and understand, good luck on finishing your robot and winning a ps3!!!!!Originally posted by Stormgetto
bendingiscool : Nice one.
jali: Do as Bending said, but don`t forget that breaking into diferent parts will leave "transform" nodes, and if you delete those nodes....uuuhhh...So after breaking into diferent parts just delete the history of the geometry for precaution,
And another thing I always do is to center the orientation, and freeze transformation, is not that you need to.
I`m doing the engine box.
I took reference from a real engine but I needed to modified a bit to make it ease for transformation, like normal "real" engine has diferent parts depending on the left or right side.
But in this case I have the same shape and parts in both sides.
Doesn`t looks real but, for someone who doesn`t know nothing about mechanic, I belive doesn`t matter really.
About the video, depending on demand I will, but at the end of this thread, I belive I will not have more to say.
