vape mail arrived late last night. This thing hits like a freight train. The Chinese knock off artists never cease to amaze me. Tomorrow I will be headed out of the country to hopefully buy the real thing. At least now, I have something to help me know what the clone looks and feels like. This one will definitely be up for grabs on a giveaway. I do not like clones...lol. Though I would recommend this one to anybody who does not want to spend $300.00 plus on the authentic. (if you can find the real deal)

Jimmy, I can assure you that what was done at Pixar and Lucas Films LTD goes far beyond the technology that was used in Star Trek. The particular model that you are looking at here in these pictures has a technical manual with over 8,400 pages of specifications and drawings. The animation documentation and pictures ran well in to 200,000 pages, drawings and film clips. A team of 211 people were responsible for this particular transformer coming to life on the screen at a cost of over 4.9m dollars. (Tyger Lucas)

Right... I meant the fictitious part of how things are imagined to work, e.g., if you can find all of the part numbers called out, you can build just about any Star Trek gadget and troubleshoot them when you run in to issues. Obviously, it's all made up (along with a lot of the science), but it would be interesting [to me] to know if the beard is actually serving some purpose, same is true with the cigar.

Did you mean the tech manual is related to the inner workings such as how the "eye" functions on a bio-electro-mechanical level? I could definitely see 10K pages being used for the mechanical design and proposed metallurgy etc,. Every part needs as many sheets as required to describe the dimensions/materials for production. That's a and truth. The devil comes in when you layout the entire insides of such a beast, and things get magnitudes worse when you have to create ways that they work But for consistency, it's a must. You can't rip off Optimus' arm today and show one inside, and then do it tomorrow and show a different inside... well, you can... but you will get called out on it (and they have been for various things)

 

[Tygerlovesdeb]

Optimus along with the rest of them are models. The models are filmed and photographed than animation artists using state of the art computers take over. A lot of the more technical aspects I can't share. But your comment, "You can't rip off Optimus' arm today and show one inside, and then do it tomorrow and show a different inside... well, you can... but you will get called out on it", comes down to laziness, because the animation sequences are stored frame by frame on big servers. You can take the ripped off arm in one sequence and insert in another. The only thing that changes is the background. Animation software is very similar to Photoshop and how it uses layers.

Hint: If you have not caught on to it yet, I am one of the owners....lol

I had no idea

Yeah, I work with 3D design software, so I get it. Isn't render time a beach! Definitely worth sending the base models, motion paths, etc into the cloud sometimes... but then you still wait for the hardcopy of the data given the size, sometimes it's better to just fly out and pick it up and sneaker it back
