I'm currently in animation school and my lord, this is possibly the greatest bayverse Optimus prime transformation I've seen outside the movie. Every piece moving with such intricate detail and almost none of it appears to clash or morph, which is a common thing with bayverse style transformations we see in RUclips. This is a masterpiece, man congrats on the superb work
For the first movie the goal was to make transformations as realistic as possible, with all the parts of the robots coming from the parts of the vehicle and using very little morphing. This was the primary reason they changed Prime to a long-nose semi and not a cabover truck from the cartoons; they needed the extra mass. The result was very cool transformations, but terrible humanoid models with broken-up silhouettes making them difficult to follow when in motion. So in subsequent films they gave up the realism in order to have robots that looked like robots and not jumbles of walking car parts.
This is mind blowing 🎉 And if anyone expects this dude to give out these wonderful models for free, just remember you ain’t paying for the days he put into this, or the years of his experience Give the artists some of their much needed value, especially in this age of AI generated nonsense !
I love seeing the method and technique used, i think what impress me is what type of method to transform optimus, you dont see a complete transformation with a lot of the part but you only see the area that are being viewed on screen to transform while the area not being viewed are either never transforming or just being used as a platform to load the next sequence of the transforming parts. Ive seen a russian youtuber that has bumblee first transforming scene from transformer 1. From there video you can see the back never transforming but you see the front of the car transform from that you only see bumblee ONLY having the front part of the car rigged on to its body while the back never even transformed or even animated and you can see pieces resize or become hidden out of sight which ease the rigging. The takeway is just from an animation viewpoint its very VERY difficult to animate a complex piece into another form without having to be abstract with the pieces or hide some pieces from sight, seeing videos like this breaks the illusion that every robot transform with every part which isnt true in the movie as you can see optimus transforming always differently depending on the view and the position hes in. Anyways enough me yapping, great work👍
That is so cool that you got to animate such an awesome character 😀🔥🔥 I used to love watching that movie when I was a kid thousands and thousands of times 😁😁
Concept artists & animators turn their imagination into reality on-screen to invoke others’ imaginations. Among those, toy designers try to bring these designs into real life in 3D. That in turn inspires more concept designs and transformation process animations, and the cycle is endless. Thanks for showing part of your process for animating movie bots. ❤❤
theres a tf1 documentary of its production they were talking about showing purely optimus transforming is just impossible they use off screen to hide physically impossible movements for the parts coming out of nowhere
Transformes live action vehicle to robot be like: some metal clanking, a Lot of camera work with rotation, some mechanic Magic bullshittery, hours of animated pieces clipping eachother......epic score....done
This was incredible work my friend. I’ve been thinking on becoming a film director in a few years and I would need an editor, and yes yes I know that my channel doesn’t really show anything to becoming a film director but being a film director is my dream to become and I just need visuals effects artist for a job, I don’t really need one right now because it’s a little early but trust me I would need people like you in my crew 🤝
thank you so much! I used your technique to make an ROTB transformation thats inspired by TF1's prime transformation too! And it was a succes, such a shame that its too fast. I can post it on my channel if you want to see it! Thats about it, see you!
I genuinely thought this was the artist who animated this scene back in 2007 being like "sup guys that is how I did it lmao". The fact you made this through observation and skill only is absolutely insane and astounding. Do you give classes about learning how to rig complex mecanical characters like Optimus here ? How did you learn this ?
0:56 This coincidentally looks similar to when Gipsy Danger(A giant mech from the movie Pacific Rim) rises from the water to battle Knifehead(A kaiju/monster) Whether you drew inspiration from that or not, it looks awesome regardless
@@CryonicVevo no need to explain to me who Gipsy Danger is soldier I do love Pacific Rim too and I’ll let you decide wether its an inspiration or not 🤭
Have you ever note that in that scene optimus has a human neck?, It looks weird because when he lift his head and show his neck, it doesn't have robotic or mechanic parts, it really looks like a human neck painted in silver
I can't animate a standard humanoid model because the sheer amount of controls obscure the model and I CAN'T FREAKIN SEE IT. Fuck THIS shit, man. I can't imagine.
now give us the model
I do sell my models on patreon 🤷♀️
