XEN 4
Ahh color grading, how I love you.
Final render and early access to the video commencing hopefully within 24hrs. This was a really, really fun project to put together.

XEN 3
This has grown to be my favorite scenebuild so far. I can't wait for you to see this. Everything's still WIP, I'm just jumping between animating, lighting and building now that the base shape for everything is more or less set.

Some more Xen progress done today. Lighting is still kinda WIP but I definitely want to keep the sun there for those juicy rim lights.
I'm thinking on adding some of the structures to the floating rocks but I might end up just keeping it "wild".
XEN
Xen project map building progress. A commission work got cancelled so I was able to start on this much earlier than anticipated. Hopefully won't take more than 2-3 weeks to wrap this up. I already love working with a strange scenery even if it's very bare bones so far.
Also, a question. Did anyone found the 2.76:1 aspe...
Update
Hey hey,
Sorry for the sparse updates here and everywhere else as well. Life is happening unfortunately and I'm much more bogged down with work than I usually am. A new project might be as far as October but I'd really like to put something together by the end of September. This will probably be a XEN scenebuild that I...
New Pulse SMG
It kinda bugged me that the player's SMG differs quite a bit from the one the grunts carry, so I took the high quality player's model and altered it to match the grunts' model. And while there I remade the textures as well to match the new AR2. Still need to rig this bad boy but I'm really happy to finally have the grunts' SM...

A quick and dirty rig test looking for funny deformations or clipping ended up looking quite decent. I have to say I'm really proud of how this character turned out. Can't wait to use it in the movie project in the next decade or so.
2022-07-23 06:04:06 +0000 UTC View PostUpdated Movie Project Citadel Establisher
Made a new compile on the map with the updated Citadel model, and the city has been reworked quite a bit since I made that last render. I think the lights on the Citadel still need some more work as they feel a bit too Death Star-y? Also the particles are not in yet and will be a big part of selling the depth. Some rising smo...

The current project is finally finished and will go public on Friday, at around 3PM GMT.
In all honesty this turned out not nearly as good as I had originally imagined it, but 3/4 of the way through I didn't have the heart to scrap it. I do hope it's still an enjoyable watch.
Transition Teaser V2
Decided to entirely redo this first teaser of the new soldier. Only 3 clips left to do for the project so hopefully I can wrap this up in the coming days.

Work on the current project has been a bit slow lately due to work but I managed to squeeze in this side project in preparation for the movie project. I still have to rig it so it can be taken apart nicely, and I also wanna make a brain (zombine ordinal) head swap for it.

Another clip from the upcoming video. I probably worded the previous post rather bad, as this will not exclusively be a continuation of Anti-Citizens, but rather an aftermath or foreshadowing of my previous and upcoming videos.
At any rate I hope it'll be enjoyable. Probably still a week's work left on this at the very...
Upcoming video
A little continuation of Anti-Citizens in the upcoming project. It's gonna be a close relative to Triage at Dawn. I still have about 9 or 10 clips to build and animate but it's getting there.

Clip of the first """"official"""" appearance of the transition period soldier from the upcoming video. This is still just a test render, so it's a bit crusty and haven't been touched up at all.

Don't think I've shown this guy anywhere yet. I've no concrete plans for it as of rn, but I'd definitely want to include a couple in the movie project. Textures still need some work as there are some nasty seams here and there.
2022-06-24 14:24:12 +0000 UTC View PostMovie project Citadel establisher
This is the first thing I started working on with the movie project. Even before writing a single word of screenplay I knew I wanted it to start with this shot, and hopefully it will. I was always fascinated with the sight of the Citadel, and while I adored the vista in HLA I wanted this establisher shot to drive the absurd s...

This was an earlier concept for the transition period soldier with the grunt's backpack and a variation of holsters that went on the lower back. Ultimately scrapped these because it made the model a bit too noisy and the side view much too fat.
