Description
This is my transformers version of ''bahamut'' (from the ''final fantasy'' series). It was heavily inspired by ''megatron'' (from the ''transformers'' movie). It's fully rigged and can transform from a tank (vehicle mode) to a mecha (combat mode) and vice versa.It was originally an old model I've reworked on lately, this time it's optimized and re-textured (unwrapped and painted). The final model contains around 140k polys, using 4x2048x2048 texture sheets, and some procedural maps.
The modeling, unwrapping, rigging, posing & animating all done in 3ds Max. Texture creation and post editing in Photoshop.
Link to the transformation video:

Softwares: 3ds max 2008, Vray 1.5 (stills), Photoshop CS4 (stills), After Effect CS4 (animation).

i used as many dummy objects as i need, but not too many dummies are very crucial for this kind of rig

This is really good!
I liked how just took the two series and made this bad boy up, really creative.
And the animation is great too. Never expected Bahamut to be a land based vehicle, love how unexpected that was to me XP
And I don't know much bout transformers or technology, but the idea of a flying tank just blew my mind XD
