My Portfolio - Legoman - Lego Neo

This is Lego Neo. After making Legoman, Neo was my first priority, as in the first character that I just knew I had to recreate. A couple of years ago, from not long before to not long after the release of Reloaded, there was a guy called sWoosH on the Zion Switchboard forums, and he made an animation of the burly brawl using 3D modeled Lego characters. I loved that animation and it was one of my inspirations for everything I've done with Legoman. So it's not exactly an original idea but it's a classic one, it never gets old. Not to me anyway.

		This is just another image like above but with Lego Neo in his outfit from the first movie and holding a couple of MP5Ks, the first guns that Neo uses in the goverment lobby scene in the first movie.

		This image is based on the bullettime scene between Neo and Agent Smith at the start of the subway scene in the first movie. It took me a while to get them both positioned right and everything but I think it turned out well :-)

		This image is a recreation of the DVD/VHS cover of the first movie. Simple as that. The only thing is that I haven't had a chance to put my model of a Beretta 9mm into Morpheus and Trinitys hands. Plus theres no Cypher, but oh well.

Now this image was inspired by sWoosH and his burly brawl animation. The BB is my favourite scene in the movie and I had to recreate at least part of it. So here it is, Neo tripping up the Agent Smith copies with the pole.

I just decided to do this image one day after watching the SBB. That scene finished The Matrix Trilogy so I had to make at least one image of it. To do it I just made a simple street model, populated it with loads of Lego Agent Smiths and put Lego Neo and the central Smith standing in the middle of the road. The lighting is from the street lamps to show the Smiths on the side of the road, and 2 distant lights (acting as the lightning) at each end of the street to highlight the 2 central characters. I couldn't just leave it after rendering it though because one main thing about the SBB is the rain. Now I don't know how to model that, so I put an image of the Matrix code over the whole thing in Photoshop and blended it together. I think it's a good effect and makes the world of difference compared to how it looked before it was added.
