Well, here it is, a test animation of “Odie” the Audi R8 Transformer I’ve been working on for months. I can’t wait to insert him into live action. I’m planning to make a short video clip with Odie in it and I want it to have that Michael Bay feel just like in the movies. Anyway, enjoy watching this video which is also a compilation of everything about Odie the Audi R8 Transformer.

Finally, after a few days of being very productive outside of my teaching, I have assembled the Transformer for my Audi R8. So far, so good. I’m loving how everything worked out. There were some changes based on my sketch but those changes were for the better.If you’ve noticed I’ve changed the main color to red since the pale blue color does look kind of pale. I haven’t seen a red Autobot so I guess my Transformer that will now be named as “Odie” will be affiliated with the good guys. If you wonder why I chose that name, well, maybe you should see my related topics on what car I used for this transformer.  Anyway, here are the renders.

Like I said, I’ll be working on the robot this week and here’s some progress on the head. Just click the images for a larger view. You can compare these 3D renders to the sketches I made a few weeks ago here.

Here’s a video presentation of the Audi R8 that I’m going to use for my Transformer. It’s colored red now, but the color is still subject to change but I’m really liking the red color right now. I haven’t modeled for the interiors or the engine parts since all of those objects will come along with the robot model that I will make for this Transformer. With the car body done, it’s time to chop it up and assemble in on the robot model that I will assemble this week.

So, enjoy the video and check out the rest of my progress for this Transformer project.

After finishing my transformer sketches, it’s time to go back and model the Audi R8 for my Transformer. So, here is my latest progress on the Audi R8. As of now, there’s no interiors and lights right as of the moment which explains how empty the insides of the car look. The wheels were modeled in detail and not using any form of bump mapping. Hopefully by next week, the car is done and I’ll be focusing on assembling the Transformer with car parts.

I did some sketches for my Audi R8 Transformer head. I thought of sketching a lot of studies of the head first before I proceed with making the body. The car is still also in progress because I’d like to know how to place my robot inside of the car to make it transform perfectly. Read the rest of this entry »
