CGI does not fully transform, they use blurring and model swapping to
achieve it. From a toy design and marketing standpoint it was an asinine
thing to do.
From an animation and movie-making perspective, however, it's a perfectly sensible thing to do.
The point is not perfectly replicate an action as if it were really happening, merely to give the illusion of it happening.
For
example, if you have a 3D character you want to animate picking up,
holding, and then throwing a ball, you DON'T use just one model of the
character and one model of the ball. You have a model of the character
not holding the ball, you have a model of the character holding the
ball, you have model of the ball alone, and possibly even yet another
model of the ball that you have set in a different part of the scene for
when it gets thrown.
It is actually a lot more troublesome to
try to get just one or two models to do everything that you might want
or need it to do than it is to have bunch of models all set up for
specific things you need.
So of course they don't have the models
for the robots completely transform from start to finish. There is no
logical reason why they would, especially when the models are as complex
as they are. |
