HOW I ANIMATE TRANSFORMERS. Pt.2. DREADWASP!

[@joeythecar0_099]

You are without a doubt one of the best transformers content creators and hopefully when you do your transformers series make sure it does great to the best of your ability unlike Galvatrons revenge.

[@rhashadcarter2051]

@joeythecar0_099 appreciate you

[@AidenPierce-t7l]

I second that! Very cool and instructive, keep it up!

[@SCARLETTSPIDER777]

Three-parts.. NO, I WANT TWO!!!!

[@timothyt.82]

Seeing a transformer just turn into a robot without any kibble (like at 2:46) is kinda cool in itself. It just folds open like some space origami robot and gets to work. Says a lot when you can make a low effort transformation like this seem so fluid and right.

[@rhashadcarter2051]

@@timothyt.82 they are all low effort for me at this point because it’s so straightforward. but ther is a ton of kibble on this bot. the legs arms and chest are covered in the alt mode pieces as armor and the turbine backpack is from the inside of the jet.

I saw you post your Starscream bio-lifeform art in a group. I found your KZbin only to realise I had already watched some of your stuff. You're very skilled. I've loved Transformers since I was a child and animation has interested me for a long time.

[@coletrain41]

Thank you so much for making this. I'm currently learning blender and it's definitelly gonna take some time transitioning from Maya to the new engine, but its certainly doable. Hope to do transformers stuff and this is super helpful!

the amount of rig damn, usually how long would it take for u to create the rig and the model?

Dreadwasp is a Decepticon right? Still cool though and I can imagine a backstory about him.

[@rhashadcarter2051]

@ ah. that’s cool ig. I don’t subscribe to the idea that transformers would have currency the way we do, I don’t envision them having a parallel society to ours

[@Ezdine_G8261]

@@rhashadcarter2051 yeah probably not currency, it seems mercenary work is more like just for broader rewards like the random shit and transformers lockdown earns

[@TheWarmachine375]

​@@rhashadcarter2051 The currency for Mercenaries are Energon cubes and new upgrades to the chassis like Lockdown got.

[@okingzap7792]

Can you make a tutorial on how you make the transformers

[@rhashadcarter2051]

@@okingzap7792 there’s models

[@rhashadcarter2051]

@@okingzap7792 meant ti say there’s modeling tutorials that exist for hard surface bots. I don’t think that’s necessary. i’m also more of an animator than a modeler

[@okingzap7792]

Thank you but how did you make dread wasp because Optimus prime is made out of 10,000 pieces and I was wondering when your 3D modeling how do you not get caught up in all of the pieces like what is your base look like when you're modeling a transformer and do you make a skeleton first I'm confused

[@rhashadcarter2051]

@@okingzap7792 10k pieces includes screws, windows, etc. the pieces don’t necessarily mean that there’s a bone for each of those pieces. For example Dreadwasp’s head is made of multiple pieces but there’s only one bone that moves who head, same for his neck and his arms also. I completed the body parts in sections, for example, I could do arms, then legs, then the torso.

[@rhashadcarter2051]

@@okingzap7792 depending on the shape of the robot, I make a sculpt and use a zbrush plugin to make pieces out of a mask outline and then I sculpt the shape. But for Dreadwasp it was just modeled hard surface based on a drawing I did.

Thank you and I hope you have an amazing 2025😊😊

Love this! What do u recommend for a blender user who has never done rigging or animation before to be able to make a transformation sequence. Vehicle to robot. also, If I were rich and had my own game company I would hire u today. Thx in advance

Hasbro should hire you Seriously, the latest TF shows have been really lacking in the animation department

[@rhashadcarter2051]

@@Voodooeddoll It’s not because they don’t have good animators it’s because they have tight deadlines and smaller budgets. if I wasn’t being paid a lot I would lose passion for it. and it would reflect in my work. the reason I crank out the amount of transformers animation that I do is because i’m free to make them at my own will and I have full control and i’m passionate about it. if I worked for paramount i’d become a cog in a machine who doesn’t get to be creative. as I have worked Industry jobs before, I don’t particularly like them, I just like the money. My first game I worked on was hogwarts legacy, second was marvel midnight suns. the hype wears off after a while and it just become a job. That being said I did temporarily work with paramount and excision on transformers one promo. so that’s a thing. but I have no desire to become a long term employee at any media based company

[@Voodooeddoll]

@rhashadcarter2051 I didn't know you worked on notable games previously, that's impressive! But, yeah, I know animators are overworked and underpaid, I was kinda pointing out how cheap Hasbro/Paramount have been with TF shows lately and how it'd be nice to see some smarter investment in the future
