Mr. BallBot “The Transfomer Concept”
A quick concept art that I sketched up for my new upcoming workshop on Transformer setup!
Mr. BallBot transforms from a spherical ball into a bipedal robot, therefore the name goes Mr. BallBot. The concept is still a work in progress and I am constantly figuring out new ideas. The idea is to keep everything simple and subtle.
Well the sketching part was fun now comes the time to start modelling which is going to be fairly technical. Once the modelling is done, I will be posting a 360 turntable video prior to rigging!
I am already excited to see BallBot transform and come to life 🙂
Stay tuned folks The Transformer Workshop is coming soOn … well not that sOon 😛
Shadow Rig by Martial FONTAN
Check out this unique rig! Very Flexible and intuitive design for a shadow character. Really liked the way the head, facial and finger controls are setup-ed on 3D geometry and later projected onto 2D shadow 🙂
