    Transformer WIP

    This is just something I've been working on at work for a little while, got permission to post it.
    It's just something that I've been making on my own to present to the advertising department for a commercial idea, so as I work on this more and more I'll go ahead and post the progress. The description in this first video explains a lot about what I did.

    http://vimeo.com/20663365 - This is the initial animation test, which was pretty much just figuring out placement of the parts.

    http://vimeo.com/21938764 - This is an actual rendered shot of the transformation with a majority of its internal structure built. Along with a little lcd screen eye thing at the end.

          Leaving work now, so this should be done converting by the time I get home.

          Rigging test
          http://vimeo.com/22266578
          Just a quick non-rendered test showing rigging movement. still have some work to do on the feet, but otherwise it feels solid.


          Rigged the bot (which was a ****ing nightmare), and made it smash a few things for the hell of it.

          Once I get the feet rigged up better, I can start the real animation. Hopefully get a TV spot out of it.

          And a new job.

                  I've been waiting for 10 minutes.

                  Why aren't you animating for Dreamworks or something again?

                      The video is just an unrendered viewport movie. Sorry if that's disappointing haha. I'm rendering the high quality version(like what's in the pics) now, but that won't be uploaded til tomorrow.

                          Oh I understood that point. I guess I was a little unclear. I'm pretty much kissing your ass and saying you should you been animating for big movie producers lol

                              Well I'm really trying to step up my portfolio in terms of both visual effects and animation, so that I can get a job at a bigger studio. My uncle works at ILM (LucasArts), and he's extremely high up in the industry, so I'm going to just talk to him and see if he can pull some strings when I feel as though I'm good enough to actually work for a big name studio.

                                  Rendered version:

                                  Just a rendered version of the last video.


                                  I'm rigging up the feet at the moment, so I should have a pretty good animation block by the end of the day.

                                              I do. I didn't simulate the cable movement for the second half of that animation, because this was just a movement test anyway. Cables will be fully simulated on the finished product, because reactor simulation is pretty much the very last last last step of animation.

                                                  Here's a pretty good update to that transformer video, there is indeed still work to be done, but it's getting to the refinement stage.

                                                  Transformer Update
                                                  http://vimeo.com/23495963
                                                  Still not done in any sense, still need to get the transformation and smashing from a few different angles, and simulate the wall behind the robot crumbling/pictures falling off the wall for when he hits the second object. Then I&#039;ll add in some text and stuff, give it a commercial feel to it, then present it to the marketing department. If I get the ok then I&#039;ll incorporate live action footage and actors into the commercial as well.


                                                  The comment below the video explains what all I have left to do.

                                                      wow clean, cant wait for the finished product. do you plan on adding a ceiling and having the glass explode instead of just break?

                                                          Yeah it does feel like I need to re-simulate the glass breaking, it doesn't feel right, or at least have the pieces that smash into the ground break off into smaller fragments or something.
