Transformers was my first project working with Render Man at Asylum. I created large displacements for the surface of Mars based on actual Mars DEM data. I textured all 3D elements and did some layout as well. The particles emitted around the probe in re-entry were controlled by an incandescence map. Render Man can do amazing displacements at hardly any cost in speed. Seeing my work in a big blockbuster flick was pretty exciting. I really enjoyed having the ‘raw’ Optimus Prime model and concept art in my hands for a brief instant. Overall this was a good learning experience for me. Thanks Asylum!
