Spidertron Rises

Here’s a look at the process behind the transformation from concept to 3d. During the shoot, kid’s were asked to explain what his or her imagined robot would look like while drawing [1]. For Parker's Spidertron mecha, I referenced examples from nature [2] to determine how it might move in real life. I also looked at depictions of the Centaur from Greek mythology [2] as well as Japanese Gundam models [3], which he mentioned as he drew Spidertron's head. This lead to sketching [4] and modeling a simple 3d version [5], which will serve as a base for the more detailed model appearing in the film.
