bahamuts duel

''In a post apocalyptic world, where there's nothing much remained but abandoned gigantic war machines waiting for someone to control them..''

This is my transformers version of bahamut (from the final fantasy series). It was heavily inspired by megatron (from the transformers movie). It's fully rigged and can transform from a tank (vehicle mode) to a mecha (combat mode).

could you share a little bit about how you rigged it?

Hi Razeem, thanks glad you like it

The rigging method is actually simple, i just used biped and some bones (for the wings) as the base, and then i linked a dummy object to each bone, and then i linked one body part (as the "leader") to the dummy object, and finally the rest of the body parts to the "leader".
It only takes some patience and some calculation to have the rigging organized, and then from there on you can transform them (move & rotate) and it's all just a matter of timing.. hope this helps
