“Transformers: Age of Extinction” is the 4th movie in the live-action “Transformers” films, directed by Michael Bay. “Transformers” films are known for their extensive use of 3D computer graphics, or CGI, but from what I have observed, the 4th movie has the most impressive computer graphics. All of the robots have intricate parts, and unique transformation sequences. For example, one of my favorite characters is Grimlock, a robot that can turn into a giant T-rex. The softwares that were most likely used to create the 3D models and their animations were Autodesk’s Maya or 3DS Max. I think that the creator’s artistic sensibilities can be seen from each robot’s design; the characters’ robot and transformed forms complement one another very well.
