agep Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 Its been a while since I did a personal project. Finally I've managed to model (and yes, animate) some new stuff. I guess you wont get surprised when you see I've modeled yet another car, but this time I did put more into it. Please take a look at the animation. I hope you like it Best regards Stian the animation: grimlock.mov a few stills: Quote
Leo73 Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 Very cool. I like how you really worked out how the car would transform into the robot. Quote
KenH Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 Superb. I'd like to see less twinning in the animation, but I think maybe that's how it was in the originals. We'll find out next summer! Quote
agep Posted January 8, 2007 Author Posted January 8, 2007 Thanks guys This model is entierly based on a toy version of the Grimlock transformers that I bought at Toys'R'us Quote
ruscular Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 Thanks guys This model is entierly based on a toy version of the Grimlock transformers that I bought at Toys'R'us Did you give the toy back to your kid? have you contact the toy maker with this yet? I think they would love to see it. I bet the kids would get wide eye just seeing this animation. Quote
Paul Forwood Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 Wow! That is great, Stian! Some beefier sound effects, and more of a variety, would be cooler. Loved it though! Quote
Xtaz Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 Stian !!!!!! You amaze me ..... congratulation another superb model !!!! Quote
Fab Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 Again a fantastic model ! Great work, Stian !!! Quote
Luuk Steitner Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 That's very cool! Did you know Citroën has commercials with transformer cars? When I saw them I wanted to make something like that too, but I never did because I didn't have time. For those interested in the Citroën video's: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZADtTq0SMo Quote
case Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 amazing simply amazing great work in the midlle! Quote
agep Posted January 8, 2007 Author Posted January 8, 2007 Thank you very much for your comments Some beefier sound effects, and more of a variety, would be cooler. I know, but those where the best sound I managed to find after a few hour searching the web Did you know Citroën has commercials with transformer cars?Guess where I got my inspiration from;) Stian Quote
Dhar Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 Way to go Stian. Superb craftsmanship, as we have come to expect from you. Keep pushing the limits. Quote
Admin Rodney Posted January 9, 2007 Admin Posted January 9, 2007 I'm just now seeing this for the first time. How the heck did I miss it? Stian... you've outdone yourself again! Quote
agep Posted January 9, 2007 Author Posted January 9, 2007 Thank you Dhar and Rodney for your kind words. Oh, I almost forgot, I made a spline progress video for this model too. Unfortunately most parts on this model is underneath the metal surface, but I hope you guys will enjoy it anyway: mustangprogress.mov and a single frame: Quote
KenH Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Hey how do you do those spline progression movies? I assume you replace the model with a newer version in the chor every few seconds. It sounds very time consuming.....do you have a quick way? Quote
R Reynolds Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Another fine example of automotive craftsmenship, Stian. Would you please post a render of a side view close-up of the rear half of the Mustang? I'd like to see how even are the reflections through the 5 pointers around the handle pocket and the gas filler cap. Thanks. Quote

I'd like to see how even are the reflections through the 5 pointers around the handle pocket and the gas filler cap. Thanks. I dont have a closeup render lying around but I have an early render of the model. Hope this helps, if not I'll try to make a new render Quote
NancyGormezano Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 Terrific Stian! - loved the movie - very fun, and excellent as usual. Quote
Bruce Del Porte Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 Totally Awesome! I can’t imagine Ford wouldn’t want that for a commercial. Give us the one minute lowdown on how you worked out the unfolding as you modeled. As always, Excellent work Bruce Quote
nimblepix Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 Amazing work Stian! Must be some crazy bones going on there. Quote
Chad_Hunt Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 That is my favoritw car! awesome!!! damn can I have a copy of the mesh? Quote
agep Posted January 10, 2007 Author Posted January 10, 2007 Give us the one minute lowdown on how you worked out the unfolding as you modeled.Oh, how should I explain this... hmm. What I had for reference is what mentioned earlier; the toy transformer, some simple rotocopes of the mustang and a bunch of images collected with all might google. I basically started to model the car as I always do (shown in the progressvideo). Then I started to make the interior (legs, arms and such) while the model still being a car (most of the parts where measured by eye). The funny thing is that I did not see the model as a transformers until it all was modeled and rigged, and I can tell that I was a little anxious to see how it would look unfolded Must be some crazy bones going on there.Due to my limited rigging knowledge the rig is pretty basic. Mainly bones from joint to joint. No constraint or anything. here is a screen capture of the rig: note: total patch count for the model is 26116 Quote
Chad_Hunt Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 I just noticed that it was a transformer, I was just checking out the stang!!! wow, nevermind about a copy of the mesh, that is to much for you to hand over I just wanted the car but awesome work!!!!! Quote
agep Posted January 11, 2007 Author Posted January 11, 2007 I've just made this vid my first youtube contribution: Quote

the_black_mage Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 dude you so freaking rock!!!! mustangs are my favorite cars!!!!!!!! Quote
nyahkitty Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 Fantastic work! May I ask how long it took to create the model? Then to texture, rig, light and animate it? Quote

nibble Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 Just out of curiosity, will you be making this model available? It is pretty awesome, and as an '07 owner I really need to have one for Hash;-). I thought about doing it myself, but dang it I don't have much time these days... Quote
thetanman Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 agep, what are your render settings for Ambiance Occulsion? Isn't that how you achieve that grainy background and stuff? Quote
