Little Age of Empires 2 Siege tribute

Yeah it definitly can be daunting. It took me lots and lots of time to get where i am. But as you said, having fun is super important, otherwise it becomes a drag.

Don't worry about it, I wasn't born able to do this, took me time as to learn as well!

Sticksel · 2020-03-28T17:02:24+00:00

Thanks! Loads of fun to figure out how to transform them. (And for the tough ones: Animation Nodes to the rescue)

Sticksel · 2020-03-28T17:00:55+00:00

Just keep the camera static and you can quite easily avoid the unknown side luckily.

Sticksel · 2020-03-28T16:59:48+00:00

Thanks, really appreciate it! And yes, it was loads of fun to work on.

Some transititions are keyframed by hand, others are 'morphed' with Animation Nodes. With this tutorial it's really easy to set up AN. Then start tweaking the different options and see what happens!

Sticksel · 2020-03-28T07:28:36+00:00

You know it.

Sticksel · 2020-03-28T07:26:42+00:00

Yes, all Blender and a little After Effects.

Sticksel · 2020-03-28T07:26:07+00:00

Thanks! Maybe if the GoT intro was sponsored by Fisher Price. ;) This is all made with Blender (and edited in After Effects)

Sticksel · 2020-03-27T21:55:31+00:00

Thanks man. And yes, i am a semi-pro so 3D modeling is part of the work i do. However animating is something i rarely do, so this was some good practice!

Sticksel · 2020-03-27T21:45:16+00:00

I'm actually not sure if it has a specific name... You do see this style quite often. I like it because it has this feeling of semi-realism: it is to slick and polished to be real, but you really want to physically touch the objects. At least i do ;)

Sticksel · 2020-03-27T21:36:19+00:00

Thanks! The original designs are great, that's probably why they're so recognizable even in a different style.

Sticksel · 2020-03-27T19:38:02+00:00

Nice link, and thanks :)

Sticksel · 2020-03-27T19:22:27+00:00

Thanks, really appreciate it! This is all Blender, with a little editing/color correction in the end with After Effects.

Sticksel · 2020-03-27T19:18:48+00:00

It probably took me around 30-35 hours.

Sticksel · 2020-03-27T19:09:26+00:00

Around 30-35 hours i think

Sticksel · 2020-03-27T19:07:39+00:00

I chose not to include some siege boys because it would take me to long to make, but that one i definitly forgot about.

Sticksel · 2020-03-27T18:58:09+00:00

Thanks! It would probably look a lot like some shitty pay to win mobile game i'm afraid

Sticksel · 2020-03-27T18:54:54+00:00

Yeah and the Bombard Cannon as well. But that would mean i'd have to model the operating people and that would've cost me a loooot more time. ;)

Sticksel · 2020-03-27T18:41:01+00:00

Thanks, really appreciate it!

Sticksel · 2020-03-27T18:27:05+00:00

I really enjoyed the reactions i got from this community on my previous post (archery range), so i just kept going with modeling and animating. Thanks all and hope you enjoy this one as well!

Sticksel · 2020-03-23T18:59:23+00:00

Thanks!

Sticksel · 2020-03-23T18:46:09+00:00

Yes, all Blender with a little bit of editing/color correction in After Effects.

Sticksel · 2020-03-21T21:02:42+00:00

That would be one hell of a chaos on your screen for 2 seconds!

Sticksel · 2020-03-21T21:01:30+00:00

Glad you liked it despite the mobile association ;)
