Masterpiece Starscream 2.0

These are a set of projects made in anticipation of the new Masterpiece G1 Starscream figure. A few friends on TFW2005.com made a model of the upcoming figure based on the line art that was released and I used the model in a few projects.

Model Viewer

I thought it would be fun to make a model viewer to show of the model in. I used Unity to make the viewer and prepared the model using Blender.

Prototype 1

This was the first prototype that I made to test out my idea. This prototype uses a dummy model I made.

Prototype 2

This update focused on adding style to the viewer as well as making it easier to add new models. The character's name now displays and the font used as well as the podium color are set based on the faction that the character is a part of. The spacing of the podiums now calculates automatically so new models can be added dynamically.

Prototype 3

This update added a proper way to view the models in detail. Rotation of the model can be toggled and the view can be set to a specific side of the model.

The Model

This is the model that Liampope, chchchch, and bigcee66 made. Liampope made the bulk of the model while chchchch made the head and bigcee66 made the hands and Null-rays on the arms. I brought the model into Blender, separated out the pieces and rigged them for animation, and added materials to the model.

Animations

Time Makes All Things Possible

This is an animation I made of a Starscream quote from the orignal 1984 cartoon. The head was modeld by chchchch and I made adjustments to the model to animate the face.

Wing Transformation

This is an animation I made of how the wings transform.

Null-Ray Transformation

This shows how the Null-rays transform. For this animation I separated bigcee66's Null-ray model into pieces as well as added modeling to the inside of the Null-ray.

Reformatting

This animation recreates the reformatting scene from the 1986 movie.

A Hint

I made this animation homaging Starcream's death scene from the 1986 movie.

Other

The Coneheads

This model is of the heads of Ramjet, Thrust, and Dirge. The face was modified from chchchch's model while the cone was made from scratch.

Image Blending

This was my attempt to add the Starscream model to an actual photo with Masterpiece Megatron.
