Description Haven't put out anything for a while, so have some cinematic testing.

This is WIP stuff.  I am probably not keeping the flag shot.  While I like it, I don't think there is space for it.  May use it for a trailer like I did the Fallout video last year.

Check out my other animated stuffs! [DeviantArt Animations]  | [YouTube Animations]

So is this ever going to be released? Would really love this map could use it for many of my fantasy-themed ideas  :/

Can't help but hear the theme to Crimson Tide while looking at this. Sets the theme for a "preparations for war" kinda story.

Hey, Argo, where can I download SFM?
And is there any specific computer things I need to have for it to work?
Like mediafire or something like that?

On the flags, I guess you could cut a few of them, but I wouldn't knock it away all together, they look very good. But other than that, maybe consider adding more to the floor? that'd be my main concern here.

all in all, stupid feedback aside, it looks pretty good. Definitely better than most my works with 3D modelling for sure, so, you are definitely doing some things very right. Keep it up.

I can almost see this as being the end cut-scene to Witcher 1 in a sense. It just has that sort of aura, and I can even hear the scene's theme playing as I look at it.

Well, more so now that I put the scene on. youtu.be/rRuqJa4OTVc?t=1m11s

I haven't been on the streams in a while, but it's good to see something amazing being produced. I'll try and come on for the stream next week ^^

Great job with all that you've done so far

A part of something bigger, that is slowly comming to be realized... so far really good, but definitely waiting for a full version. 'Cause there will be one, right?

Kinda. The map, in terms of what I need it for, is basically done. Been working on the video it was meant for. :3

Sooo pretty....
Are there new materials on that armor? It seems extra shiny.

argodaemon In reply to love-mist [2015-04-13 12:06:02 +0000 UTC]

I modified the VMTs to make the more metallic.

love-mist In reply to argodaemon [2015-04-13 17:04:46 +0000 UTC]

I thought so, it really adds a lot! They're more believably metallic without breaking the style. It's a tricky balance.
Any chance you would share those value settings?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

argodaemon In reply to love-mist [2015-04-13 23:35:31 +0000 UTC]

Something close to the below.  Technically, you need to modify the values based on the setting.  Normally, metallic just needs a good increase to boost and a shift in the fresnel ranges to the right.  Due to the lighting in the shot I have, I had to drop the boost more than normal as it made it too bright.

"$phong" "1"
"$phongexponent" "6"
"$phongboost" "0.5"
"$phongalbedotint" "1"
"$phongtint" "[1 .95 .95]"
"$phongfresnelranges" "[0.5 9 10]"

argodaemon In reply to WCPsycho [2015-04-13 12:07:46 +0000 UTC]

I started the scene with the old royal guard models. I haven't changed it out yet for the newer ones. I can't remember who made them.

I know. ^^ These were animated before those were made, so just left as they were. I can't exactly copy/paste it over.  Planned to eventually.  Had actually modified the textures to include bumpmaps for the armor on them already. :3

Can't really say more then what's already been said.

But this definitely gives me an idea for an experiment, now... off to try and my shiny armor... things.
