MotorMaster Transformation breakdown

Another study of Motor Master transformation. I'm trying to give people a better look at what's really going on with the truck parts.

hey what is this made in? also i wonder if it'd be possible to make a transforming custom based off this i would try to if i had the materials and joints and the other stuff but i dont so i can but a transforming custom toy of this would be awesome dont ya think?

@unicron245 This is made entirely in 3ds max 9. Yeah a custom toy of him would be pretty awesome, but I doubt it'll ever happen.

@RazorSAID

Did you make a sphere in another layer and then at the render object set the property to the sphere? coz when i do it nothing happens :(

[RazorSAID]

@Gucio7430 I really have no idea what you're talking about. My scene in max was setup with incredible simplicity. Just a box for the warehouse, some objects in the background, no lighting, no shadows, just basic render.

also some parts of Movie Menasor(Dragstrip's car armor and Motormaster's trailer armor and weapons) will be designed in google sketchup by others who wanted to aid me(not a good modeller with Skecthup) so i will hold little "contests" on Deviantart to see whose designs will be used for the final product

[RazorSAID]

@unicron245 I could provide you with detailed blueprints if you need them

@RazorSAID

WTF! i commented this on another video lol! :P

[unicron245]

there is a chance i might try to make a non-transforming statue of him in a pose if i can get ahold of the plastic, hobby knives, ruler and all that other good stuff (reason why non-transforming statue is cuz i dont know how to make a good joint nor do i feel like robbing my wallet to get joints from transformers) lol

*from scratch man how do i forget to type words ._.

[unicron245]

@RazorSAID and the head might be that last part i make and will probably be a mishmash of parts from other heads since im not that good with making models from(i can do a semi-decent Buster Sword tho) and i will arrange the parts to have a G1-esque and Movie-esque look (obviously lol)
