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.

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

that animation was pretty sweet! except having him float away into the sky at the end was a bit unbelievable. he should jump into the air. it would feel more natural that way

it's good but could have been better! more reflection would make it realistic, more metallic effects u know?
the render u put on deviantart is a lil bit insulting my taste... You could have done at least a better background for the frame render :/

thanks, u're right about the material, it could use more reflection.. as for the background, i did it on purpose to keep it plain, so the attention is focused on the character, cheers

Awesome animation. But when it comes to transforming summons, I still prefer Ark. ^^
