Spent the afternoon mucking about and chopping up my 3d model, couldn't help myself! a few hours of moving bits and pieces around and I got a fair idea of what TransformerKITT would look like... http://thunderchild.cgsociety.org/gallery/523297/ This is just a hash-job, lots of stuff still missing, b...

Not yet...
Other projects of work keeps me busy and not really in the mood to work on 3d, but I got some inspiration from watching the new TRANSFORMERS movie!

What do you guys think about a transforming KITT?

Boy! Do I feel like Homer Simpson!
D'oh!

You're all correct of course... it was suppose to be a reply. I can only blame my mouse....

Nope, can't shift blame... T'was me...


Sorry bout that guys!

Hehe! nice one! I'd have thought Karr would bid just so he could own Kitt and order him around a bit, you know: "Go get my carwax kitt..." "Kitt!!! Stop lazying around and fetch my slippers! there, that's a good kitt..." Hmm... come to think of it, it is the whole russian bride t...

Thanx and DITTO!

I love your Kitt's nose! it looks perfect! Good job!

Hey! that's some awesome modeling man! What software do you use?
Cant wait to see the final textured and bumpmapped renders! And your KITT!

Hi Everyone! Sorry about the LOOOOONGggg wait.... Here's the URL for a short clip I made with KITT and another of my 3D models. more to come. hope you like it... :) http://www.zippyvideos.com/3564813076848296/kr1/ PS- hope you can see it too, my browser was acting a little haywire when I checked if ...

I may come fore as a total loon for asking this, but what's up with the wacky nose?!?

Excellent idea! An entire season with Michael, Kitt and Bonnie on the LAM trying to dodge bullets from not only the bad guys, but also from every conceivable law-enforcement agency out there!!! their completely on their own, no financial backup, the semi could eventually break down... etc. etc... Yo...

Wow! I had no idea NFS: MW could use custom cars! As soon as I have some more time, I'll definitely look into that. Since GTA already has a few KITT's, and since I prefer NFS anyway (NFS:Carbon was a real letdown though), I'll try and focus on getting my Kitt in there. Thanx for the heads-up Reddawg...

Hey! that is a real novel idea! I got 2 MacQueen's from MacDonalds a while back, Slap some black paint on one of 'em, et voila! CARS-KITT!!! Think I'll do that right now...

Hey, great stuff man! It sounds like you're enjoying every moment of it! Really can't wait to see your pics and hear your tale!
Dang good job!

:lol: Well, Airwolf has wheels, not skids. As to finding the lair, Kitt's scanners could simply follow (at a distance) Stringfellow Hawk when they go to get Airwolf, then wait for them to return after their mission and and go home. then Kitt could have some fun! Even the basic Avionics of the helico...

Intersing comparisons Jup. I agree... mostly. In Airwolf Season 1, Wolfie did escape from a bunch of helicopters forcing it to stay on the ground by using it's turbos and running on the ground, so like Kitt (only opposite), it can maneuver while on the ground... But then, I think Kitt will be able t...

Though speaking of practicality, I always thoguth it was really dumb how Turbo Boost was right above Eject R (at least on S1&2 dash). "Hold on Bonnie, we're gonna Turbo Boost" *phoom* *scream* "Whoops." I nearly fell off my seat laughing at that one!!! This may not be the th...

Hi All!! the interest and complements you guys give is a real inspiration! without it I probably wouldn't have spent more and more time on it. Thanx! As promised, here are some new renderings. I tried improving on the textures, and added some new features. My next update may take a week or two, anot...

Oh woe is me... Since I haven't seen a single KR episode in 3 years (Yep, don't have the dvd's... either pity me or sponsor me, I refuse to download... But soon I'll have them...) the "characters" that stick out are 1st: CARR, 2nd: Goliath, 3rd: the acid! (I remember the pain of seeing KIT...

I agree with DaveK...

Also, consider the budget the show had... Even Car's first appearance was the same car as KITT, right down to the red scanner...

Hey Bud! Good luck!! I'm sure most of us would give our right arm to join you!

Hope we see your pics of the gig real soon on this Forum!

I knew there had to be someone!!! I always said: "I'd get a tattoo only when I'm sure I'd never be Bored or shamed by it... Ever!" This may be a case in my point! Though I'll probably not rush to the nearest tattoo parlor just yet, I must admit: Dude! AWESOME tattoo!! The artist really cap...

There's just something about the white vertical lines giving the Season 1-2 dash more character! Furthermore, I agree with the push buttons being more practical... ...and 2 monitors are better than 1. Try 3D animation with 1 monitor, then try it with 2. Then you'll know what I'm talking about. The o...

Thanx for the support you guys!!! I already got a few ideas for this Kitt... I must thank Alias Maya for the reflections... Mental Ray rendering did everything, all I did was play with a few settings... Also, The shape of Kitt, comes from wannabegeorge's front, back, and side drawings. I used them w...

Hi all! sorry about the lack of updates. Other projects are getting in the way.
I did a quick environment setup just to show off the current model along with some tire tread.
What U think?

I do agree that the new KITT should stay at least a black Pontiac, personally would have loved the 82 TA, but as has been said, kids today would snub the car. Love the idea in this thread, great work guys! A quick google for Pontiac concept cars reveled these to me... At http://www.autotrend.com/pon...

I really want to be doing this for a living! The reason I have not gotten back to refining Kitt yet is cuz I'm finalizing another model for my showreel. I need to get my bum into the 3D business and I'm trying to do a good job of my demo. An animation featuring Kitt will of course also be in the sho...
