Made and Rendered in Blender 2.59

I tried recreating Bumblebee from the Transformers movie sequel. This by far the most complex scene I have made in Blender. It took me about 5 months, literally, to pull this off. I have never worked on it more than an hour in a day though. The biggest challenge was modeling without proper reference images. I’ve browsed several sites looking for proper reference images but failed. So I decided to use snapshots from the actual movie. I sketched out each piece at a time and I went to modeling. I mostly used box-modeling technique.

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Head of Community at Sketchfab.

  1. really good quality model, and you got a hollywood quality render out!
    in the actual movie i'm shure more than one person worked on Bumblebee and your model is almost as good as the original :)
    keep it up!

    @Zero4mike! You're cool and fast! :) I did such work just once in my life - for the diploma :) There were almost none of (good) blueprints of the helicopter (I chosen for the work) so I did many of them from really old and almost dying.
    But using the film for references - it's very tricky I think.
    Make some time-lapses next time, plz! It's really interesting to see how you do the process.
