3D Transformer animation - VW Scirocco

This 3D animation was created for portfolio purposes. The project is called "The rise of BAD AS 873". It's a short story about a Transformer who thinks he's pretty "bad ass". The focus of this project was to show complex rigging, some clean modeling and hopefully a short funny story. The modeled car shown in the animation is based upon a Volkswagen Scirocco. The robot (and transformer) design is done by Jorn van Haren.

The Story, 3D Modeling, Rigging and Animation: done by Jorn van Haren.
The music and sound effects: done by Elian Blaes

I like the fact that you can tell it is a car in robot form unlike in DOTM and to some extent ROTF

Very nice concept. Would be nice to see more specular on the metal and reflections on the glass. Great stuff.

I like how the transformation in't ridiculously complicated and you can still tell it's a car when it transforms.

I really like the car model and the robot very sporty!
