Transformers movie Cube

[Computer-Geek]

I'm just thinking of how i could create the cube in the movie. I need pictures of it and google hasn't been very helpful to me. Its just an idea :) And no it wont transform into the tiny cube you see in the movie. I only found these pics so far

I'm not sure what you are doing. I see several different cubes, the small one in the first pick, what looks like a giant one made up of many cubes in the second, and I can't tell what is in the third. Are you trying to model your case to have the exact shape of the cube, or just model the sides to have similar markings?

[Computer-Geek]

Its the same thing but they transformed it into a smaller one but the designs on the larger one looks better. I want to create similar markings on styrene or whatever i use.

[jdbnsn]

Well the top pic looks pretty rough, I bet you could easily carve those marks into styrene, mist the surface with flat black spraypaint, and then sand the surface lightly to leave a colored relief of the design. The cube in the middle pic is quite detailed and very sharp, I think you would need someone who has computer guided etching equipment for that. Unless you are very patient and very skilled at carving.

Going with the transforming little cube idea you could have the ports hidden behind tiny cubes that you remove to plug stuff in

what do you think b4i7 is here for ? :D If anyone knows the real name of the "cube" and has better pictures of it can you post them up here please :) I want everything to be hidden inside so it will look normal until i press a button and the lights turn on and the front panel lifts up or down exposing an lcd screen or something.

You know, I really like Wikipedia.

The cube is called Allspark (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allspark). (Contains Spoilers.)

Hmm...etch in plexi and then paint over perhaps?

It'd be a helluva lot of etching, but it'd be worth it to see it done.

[jdbnsn]

Plexi would work, but I think polystyrene (as per Tybrenis's suggestion) would etch easier (you should confirm this with Tybrenis though). It should look good if you take you time, and etch the design in. You can buy chrome colored spray paint, get some rust colors, and rub black paint into the grooves wiping off the surface. It should look pretty nice.

i can make a sexy etch in any material.....these look like they would be fun to do

[Computer-Geek]

I know you can :D I just need the money and someone who will buy it :)
