Omnigonix - Spinout
A few years ago I was hired to design and sculpt a 3rd Party Transformer.
Here is a documentation from 3D sculpt, rapid prototype to production model.
I am no longer associated with the company Omnigonix and have not been contacted by the parties involved since I finished my contract.
It was hard, fun and I learnt a lot - it spurred me on to apply and study Industrial Design.
**NOTE; All images AFTER the rapid prototype were not taken by me.
After months of design and sculpting, I rendered out my design in a neutral pose.
Some energy into the pose.
Leg detail close up.
Car mode. I incorporated several Countach versions into my final design, I especially love the window design or the original prototype.
I incorporated the shoulder-thrusters (in bot mode) into the rear of the car, under the spoiler - to give it a batmobile-eque feel.
First colour render.
Part layout before 3D printing.
Scrubbed and washed 3D prints.
Test assembly.
Undercoat and dry in the sun.
Partial assembly.
Hip assembly.
Almost there!
I started to model this before I got my hands on the official Lambo on the right - i was surprised to find I was quite close with my scale guesses.
Side by side with his 'brother'.
Bros together at last!
Fist action pose for the prototype.
First image of the production model along side his official comrades.
Test shot.

Somebody out there taking advantage of the posability I designed :)
Ready for battle!
