thank you! it was great to work on

Thank you! SC Ghost was absolutely the inspiration for this one (an amazing intro by Blizz, even if the game was never released), but my model was absolutely not game-ready. It's a heavy topological mess that only worked in a pre-rendered setting. :)

Thanks so much :)

Because I had to get it rendered before Xmas on my home PC, I could only afford to do it in 720p this time. Alas, next time it will be higher res :)

Glad you like it! :D

Hey, CGBros asked for permission to host it on their channel, and I said sure because it added more eyes on it due to their larger following.

@@freespace87 nice! How did you learn to do all this?

@@DarkTemplar42 started out with simple online tutorials back in the early 2000s, then joined CG communities (back when forums were popular) where people encouraged and taught each other, and then just kept practicing until I found work;

When I made these back in 2009, 2010, it was for the SCLegacy community, so it's why it would also be on their channel

@@freespace87 Cool, I didn't really know what that was (just 1 person's project or a group), thanks!

@@jerodast Happy I could make it clear :)

This was made in 1280/720 resolution just a bit over ten years ago. It would be a lot of work to track down all the files and re-render, then re-composite it. But, someone could take this and run it through an AI upressing software like Topaz to make it full-HD if they want.

Hey thanks for the kind words! You made me re-watch this, and it brought back fond and very vivid memories, even though it's 9 years old. Good luck on your 3D journey! It's not an easy trip, but if it was, everyone would be doing it. :) With time and dedication, you got this! To answer your questions, I received all the ships and did my best to make them look more cinematic (unlike a game engine at the time, I had no polygon limit and I could do much more with shaders and lighting in a pre-rendered workflow). 3ds Max was the main software for this, and I'd been working for over a decade when I started collaborating with the awesome folks at Stardock.

Hello, thanks for getting in touch. Yeah, that sounds good to me, just post a link to my channel in your description, sure.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks man! :D

Thank you :)

Thanks so much, Tuscan. I hope to have more to show you in the future :)

Much appreciated friend! :D

Thanks mate! Yep, we're both doing good. My best to you two as well :)

Thanks! It all started with Starcraft :D

Much appreciated, thanks for checking it out! <3

Now that would be something :D

Thank you :D

Thank you! While I prefer the tone of the first game, I still think the second one had a lot of merits. I hope we get a third Starcraft in some form! (even if not an RTS)

Thanks man! I can't let you have all the fun with your awesome Starcraft cinematic, now can I? :)

Thank you and thanks to the algorithm :)

Expanse is amazing! Season 5 is hitting all the right notes right now.

Thank you kindly! Hope so :)

Haha, thanks :)

Thanks, I'm happy those scenes can have such an effect on you!

Hi, that's up to Stardock, as far as I know.

Hey Mark, I am humbled you would seek my help. Unfortunately, due to time constraints from work, I'm not able to get involved with other projects. I hope you do a kick ass job on your Starcraft project! Brood War was an incredible game.

@@freespace87 Thank you so much for your response, friend. I am truly honored that you would take the time to reply. I understand completely about your work, and I hope it goes well! I do have one request, if you can. Do you think you could provide some of the models you used in this and Final Metamorphosis? We are looking for useable models. Again if not, I completely understand! Thanks!

@@MarKreationsStudios I'm sorry I can't share the models, however I'm aware there are tools online that allow you to extract models from the Starcraft II engine. People use this for modding, but it could give you a good base to start from and further develop the models for your project.

@@freespace87 Again, thank you so much! I will remember you as an inspiration for my animation! And I will respond on here once more to tell you when I have it on my channel! I hope you will like it!

Thanks! Some of those scenes are 8 years old now, but I'd imagine a lot of the camera-work and layout would be similar if I did them now.

Thank you!

Hi, thank you :) You and your friends have good taste in games :)

I animated this myself; Unfortunately I am not too good at character animation; If you look at my latest animation, you'll see I've enlisted the help of professionals that know how to make characters move. As for voices, please look at the credits to see the voice actors.

There was a lot of Houdini used in this trailer, but not by me. Houdini was used on Ymir the ice giant and on the lava giant by the other talented FX artists at RealtimeUK.

Thanks Benjamin, always appreciate feedback. :)
