MadseNs Cinimatic Project

[MadseN]

Greetings !

This is a Project I started the 20th October, It's inspired from Phoenix_VII Cinematic Tri-X, but this will be my own version.

The Cinematic will have no story at all, it will only feature Terrains made by me. I will post some pictures as the cinematic take shape.

All comments, tips and crits is welcome!

Notice, all terrains are WIP and my change over time.

1. Inside a Dark Temple.
2. The Floating Island.
3. Snowy Mountain, Still early WIP done in 25 min.
4. Snowy Cave Entrance, removed the mountain, didn't turn out as i wanted and replaced it with this instead. Done in 15 min, Camera will actually go inside it and down the stairs and fade. It's still a WIP, but any suggestions for improvement is welcome tho.
5. Ice Temple, More details will be added to the front gate at a later moment
6. Ice Temple tower, still WIP more details will be added later, basic shape done atm.
7. This shot was taken was taken accidently, but it looks kinda cool in some way.

It looks okay though I think the light outside seems a bit too strong?

 

[MadseN]

It looks actually better ingame. But everything is WIP so I might change it later.

Looking good so far. Keep it up, can't wait for it to be released already, since it's by you. :winK:

[Gilles]

I'm excited! Can't wait for it. I agree with raging, but it still looks good.

 

[Belgarath]

It looks nice, I can hardly see anything though. But it still looks great.

 

[frostwhisper]

Pretty realistic environment, I have to admit.

 

[Belgarath]

Ah, I can see now. Looks really awesome, and realistic. The statues look really good where they are ^^

 

[Bob27]

Can't wait to see this cinematic, all you terrains are awesome, and it'll be good to see more of them. Yea I agree with raging that the light is a bit to bright, but apart from that it looks good, and very realistic.

+ rep

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Just a minor correction, MadseN, the "Cinematic Tri-X" is created by PheoniX_VII, not Pheonix-IV. These are two different persons even though their nicks are almost the same.

 

[MadseN]

Thanks ragingspeedhorn, It's updated

[Update]

New Picture, Second scen of the Cinematic. Looks mush better ingame then it does in the picture, the fog and wind doesn't even show in the picture thats why it's such a big contrast.

I don't think the light is too bright. If you were just in a dark room, and suddenly saw some light, it would be unbarably bright.

~Craka_J

Yeah, same with me!

 

[FamousPker49]

Extremely wonderful, I cannot wait for this to take shape

 

[Craka_J]

I'd have to say you're awesome at making stranded islands, cities, and well pretty much everything. I've never seen any lava, snow, or desert terrains by you though. Maybe you can show us some in your cinematic!

BTW: What is your cinematic about? And what genre?
~Craka_J

 

[Gilles]

The new shot is very... artistic. I like it!

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Craka_J if you had read the first post then he mentioned that the cinematic would have no story and would just be a terrain showcase, like Cinematic Tri-X.

For anybody that hasn't seen Tri-X, you can get it from the Mods and Maps website.

Looks okay? its beautiful .. very original terrains in it..

 

[Craka_J]

That I can agree with you on The_wand_mirror.

[MadseN]

I'm working with the Snow Mountain Scen atm, might be done with it this evening. The Underground lava scen will be made at a later date.

Also, I will try to add as many tile sets as possible in the cinematic. So atm im making one scen each day so at this pace the cinematic will be done in about a month.

GJ!, this is a great job man... keep the work up...

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

No need to over-exadurate just because the work of MadseN is usually of very high quality. The first screenshot is not something spectacular, it is above average, has a great atmosphere and certainly looks really good, but it's not something that causes any wauw effect like so many of his other pieces. It is after all just a nearly empty dark room with a strong light coming in.

 

[MadseN]

Have to keep the dooda usage down otherwise the Cinematic will be lagging horrific if you haven't got like a super machine.

/MadseN

 

[2-P]

Doodads have close to no effect as long as they're not in the current camera view.

Why is the statue in the 2nd shot so dark? That doesn't fit to the rest of the terrain imo.
But I bet it looks great in motion. ^^

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

2-P is right, as long as you only have the camera fixed on a certain amount of doodads at a time it will make no difference.

 

[MadseN]

You sure about that ? Then I can start to fill the map with my lovely doodas

/MadseN

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Trial and error my friend. If you find out an area is overcrowded you can always just reduce the doodad count, but having it low to begin with is not the way to go

 

[Gilles]

More screens! I can't get enough of your work.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

No need to over-exadurate just because the work of MadseN is usually of very high quality.

It is after all just a nearly empty dark room with a strong light coming in.

But still the atmosphere splats of the screen for a War3 creation. It rly makes the feeling you're in a temple watching the ouside light and just little dirt and ruble lieing around (What i think is realistic) and the light is so bright because you could've wandered in darkness for so long. And the second just looks like something of eh.. yeah something fantasy thingy.. the whole thing being in the clouds also convices me ..

 

[MadseN]

Small Update, Snowy Mountains. Still WIP, made in 25 min. Atm it's just a Big Dooda spam, but it's only the first layer, will add more doodas to make it look more like real a mountain.

/MadseN

 

[Craka_J]

The last one isn't very impressive yet. Though, like you've said, it is a work-in-progress. So far it does look promising though; can't wait to see what the final piece will look like!
~Craka_J

 

[Gilles]

The mountain has a strong atmosphere which is good. It's not near good enough for you though, but I look forward to the finished product.

 

[Supermj]

I don't like that moutian as much as your other ones...

 

[MadseN]

Small Update, Cave picture, still lots to do tho, pritty empty atm.

feel free to come with ideas. I will take any suggestion in consideration.

/MadseN

 

[Craka_J]

Very nice idea with the black cave! I would've never thought of that! The area around it needs more tile variation and more snowy doodads.
~Craka_J

 

[Supermj]

I like it. blive it or not... it reminds me of a halo level...

 

[Gilles]

Cool cave! What did you sue to make it? Smoke smudges?

 

[Craka_J]

Looks like he used the Abyss tile from Outland tileset.
~Craka_J

 

[Gilles]

Huh, good effect whatever he did.

 

[MadseN]

Actually it's a Transparent tile with Black fog and sky, because the camera will film inside the cave and not just outside.

/MadseN

 

[Supermj]

Cool... Where can I download said fed tile?

 

[MadseN]

Uploaded the tile here, just import it and replace the text to TerrainArt\Dalaran\Dalaran_SquareTiles.blp

Anway, i need someone that could help me to add more tiles to the map, because my weu enchancer won't work..

/MadseN

 

[Gilles]

Nice idea! You always seem to have new cool ideas! Why can't I have some?

 

[MadseN]

Update, Added 2 new shots, the Ice Temple, basic shapes done, so it's still WIP as the others. Details will be added at a later moment.

/MadseN

 

[Gilles]

Whoa, that must have taken a little while. I think the WE should let you paste in the air so you don't have to pg up all the doodads.

 

[MadseN]

that would be a great addon... because now it's all about patient...

Anyway, the tower will have windows, doors, fences, spikes ect outside, tho that is for a later moment.

/MadseN

 

[Gilles]

Sweet. Can't wait for the final product!

 

[Craka_J]

The tower is cool but its surroundings are very plain. The tower can also use a lot more decoration such as blue flags or torches. I bet it'll look a lot better once you've added door(s) and windows to the tower though. Can't wait!
~Craka_J

 

[MadseN]

I've decided to fraps all the scenes instead and put them together into a bigger film. I will also add all the scenes which i've posted in my Gallery to the film.
Currently I'm reediting the old scenes so i can make cinematic scenes from them.
