Transformer

martynball

I want to make a impressive portfolio piece in the future, I was thinking about making a transformer.

My guess is that I would model the vehicle I want to use and then work from there, so in this case the Lambo Reventon. Would I then design the robot using parts from the car, but add other parts to connect them all together?

Does anyone have any tips on doing this sort of thing, or have a tutorial. Or even wireframe renders of transformers from the film?

Thanks

I dont think there is a tutorial that will show you that. Best advice will be using "common sense" and looking for good references. You might also want to build yourself generic parts that you might use to connect main shapes (kitbashing) reusing parts will save you a lot of time and will add visual complexity. Well it also depends if you are aiming for a high res model, or if you want to build an ingame asset..

You might want to look at josh nizzi gnomons tutorial, he goes in depth about this.

Hey Hunter... odd. I am modeling one myself actually.
If you plan to do a transformer, its going to be a great undertaking. Just saying, there is a lot more detail then you actually realize in one.

As far as wire frames and how to go about it, I can help you with that. Add me on xfire:

Either way, best of luck to you.
