Transformers: Age of Extinction Transformation Method

Before making the large-scale deformation effect of the artificial diamond, the production staff first used a much smaller deformation effect to test, first test the deformation element from a spherical shape to a square, and then test it to become a metal wire, a gun, and other props. The production staff manually adjust the relevant parameters of the deformation to control the deformation effect. They used animation to make the basic components of the body, some of which will have different deformation effects from the Autobots-crystal effect, and a little swing effect, and then add appropriate deformation effects such as squeezing, stretching, and pulling, and deformation animation The biggest challenge is to control the movement of each deformable element block in the air, highlight their position, color them, map each of their faces, and then transform them into robots. Therefore, the entire deformation process is decomposition → formation of block clusters → shuttle in the air → recombination into robots. The production staff have to simplify each step, control the rhythm of the decomposition of these small squares, the floating position in the air, and the production of various wave effects.
