Optimus Prime Transformers Blender Animation

In this project, I wanted to create a transformation scene of Optimus Prime, the leader of the Autobots, based on the recent movies of the Transformers saga: "Bumblebee" and "Transformers: The Rise of the Beasts".
I used Blender to model, animate, texture and render, using a realistic style, but with Low Poly touches to reduce the rendering time, I also used procedural shaders to create the effects of scratches, raindrops and metal wear etc....
The project was rendered in real time on EEVEE, which was a challenge, as I had to optimize the scene and adjust the lighting and shadow settings to get a satisfactory result.
My goal with this work was to learn and practice the techniques of modelling, animation, texturing and rendering in Blender, and I also had a lot of fun in this project!
