Cinematic Contest #3 - Sorrow

[Avator]

I believe he's (about to go) on a vacation for a week and he also has The Lone Panther 3 to finish. So I think he will join if that's done and he has enough time to make a submission.

 

[lord_ken]

Heh, I wanted to join but i was too late damnit.

 

[bounty hunter2]

You have almost three weeks, that's more then enough for sure.

WIP

@bounty hunter2
Nice, i am guessing that is a tavern?
Nice anyway.

 

[lord_ken]

@bounty hunter2, Meh. I would really want to, But im too lazy to make anything now. Or tommorow. Or next month.

Why not? Im in. Though im not sure if i can submit any.

 

[Just_Spectating]

So do you Export the models from the Ultimate Terraining map, or just use it and add triggers?

 

[Kingz]

You can go for any way you want, though i make every map from the scratch(except spell testing ones)...

 

[bounty hunter2]

So do you Export the models from the Ultimate Terraining map, or just use it and add triggers?

I went this way:

UTM - I will use 50% of the models, and I'm lazy to export the ones I won't use.

 

[Eccho]

What about, high resolution doodad packs? I know the models should not make the map, but they look really nice.

Damn ... my editor/computer crashes very often lately, unluckily I had to remake my done work all the time ... I could have been much farer but my FUCKING computer is a pain in my ass currently. If I can't finish it before my holidays end, I quit. I have absolutely no chance doing it next to school due tue timelessness. Bounty hunter, you can delete me from the contestant list as long as I have no submission until 20 april.

 

[Avator]

Nice WIP bounty hunter2! Looks very realistic

 

[Eccho]

Dingo, aw, thats sad =/ Too bad you cant continue.

Sorry guys, added.

 

[lord_ken]

F@$% Damnit, I can't load my Cine.. D:, Time to remake... D: D: D:

 

[xxdingo93xx]

Ok, faith is surely against me ...
1.) My computer really is a piece of $#!T, it's broken and will be repaired in 2 days - 2 day less.
2.)Thursday I am going on holidays for 2 days - 2 days less.

I generally was planning to do all that this week but as it seems I can't anymore. Bounty hunter, you can delete me now... -.-

 

[bounty hunter2]

Oh well, too bad, the rest of you, a reminder; two weeks left till the end.

 

[Eccho]

Bounty, you can delete me too, if you added me again
I wont have time, and are banned from Mondays to Thursdays when I am at my dad, and limited time, 2 hours, from Mondays to Fridays at my mom.

And school...

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Oh shit I'm still planning the cinematic!

I haven't even started... Or a little terrain but it's horrible.

 

[Just_Spectating]

me too.

 

[Vicboy]

I feel so bummed about this contest.

What were the previous themes and what will be the next?

I'm just not up for drama (though I'm still in the list)

 

[~Void~]

Bob, I suggest you use this light model instead for the fiery parts. It's more orange, and I think it would make the whole thing look a bit more fiery and epic. More atmosphere.

 

[lord_ken]

I haven't got the story line straight.. And the terrain. None... This is why i said "I won't be sure that i might submit it though"

 

[Bob27]

Thanks Void, they look a lot better then the old ones

Here's a couple of updated screenshots using the light model Void posted.



Also heres a new screenshot from the cinematic.

 

[Just_Spectating]

so you gunna help me out too void? ^^

 

[Kingz]

I am sorry to anounce that i won't be finishing my cinematic.
Why? Because i joined for fun and the fun just vanished after some time, i guess i will stick to the triggers and leave terraining and making cinematics to other people...

 

[Avator]

Shame to hear
Good luck with your triggering then

 

[Kingz]

I will still monitor this contest to see the final result though^^
Also i won't post anything more here to keep the thread clean...
So good luck everyone^^

 

[bounty hunter2]

Shame. Well okay then.

Hmmm I was on holidays, time to get back and work on my cinematic again. =)

 

[Just_Spectating]

can we hire voice actors?

 

[lord_ken]

Its hard to make the people shed a tear, Mostly because (No offense) alot of them are heartless..

 

[Avator]

@Just_Spectating: Yes, ofcourse. Voice-acting never has been prohibited in any contest.

@lord_ken: The only people that would actually cry are probably very sensitive people. The rest isn't heartless, it's just that low detail along with a story and clip made in a month is a good reason to be unable to insert the special touches.

 

[Just_Spectating]

wanna be one of my characters then Avator?

 

[lord_ken]

Would it be possible for it to be happy at first and then get sad at the climax?

 

[Avator]

Sure, Just_Spectating. If I can get into the mood of the character (when I get home ofcourse), I can do a voice for you. Have your lines ready

 

[Eccho]

If the theme is "Sorrow". According to my mom which is a teacher, the theme is something which should follow through the whole plot. I'm not saying my mom is right lol, but making it happy first might be too twisted. It depends on how you make it though.

 

[Just_Spectating]

Sure, Just_Spectating. If I can get into the mood of the character (when I get home ofcourse), I can do a voice for you. Have your lines ready

kk, i'll make a new thread when it's all ready.
(busy with all these other contests )

 

[Bob27]

Heres another screenshot from my cinematic.



My cinematic is pretty much done now, should hopefully be done in the next couple of days.

 

[frostwhisper]

How do you people make these shadows? Is there a tut somewhere?

 

[Just_Spectating]

could be the Fog doodad.

 

[Avator]

@frostwhipser: You don't make the shadow, you just make the light.

@Bob27: Remove some graves. It doesn't look real at all.

Graveyard sample image

That's a sample of a graveyard. There isn't 1 stone every 1m², so keep that part a bit more realistic. If it's a mass-grave, there would be 1 big stone to remember them all or no stones at all.

 

[Just_Spectating]

maybe he's short on map space.

 

[lord_ken]

Damnit man, The deadline is very near and i haven't made a single scene and a single decent terrain! OH DEAR OH DEAR OH DEAR, IM LATE, IM LATE, IM LATE.

 

[Avator]

That doesn't make sense. If you're short on space, you make less graves, not more.

I'll join lord_ken on this one. I'm having a big problem with Unwrapping the model I'm making for my submission. It's been in the Texturing section for about a week now and nobody seems to know what's wrong. I would really hate it if I can't finish my models in time because of something like that!

 

[Bob27]

How do you people make these shadows? Is there a tut somewhere?

I use this custom script which will make everything pitch black.

• Custom script: call SetDayNightModels("","")

Then like Avator said I use custom light models to create the light.

@Bob27: Remove some graves. It doesn't look real at all.

Graveyard sample image

That's a sample of a graveyard. There isn't 1 stone every 1m², so keep that part a bit more realistic. If it's a mass-grave, there would be 1 big stone to remember them all or no stones at all.

I'll see if I can make it look a bit more like the graveyard in the picture. Thanks for the feedback

 

[Avator]

I'm starting to fear for my submission. If I don't have an answer for my skinning problem, I don't have a skin, which means no models, which means my cinematic is ruined!
