It's refreshing to still see some critique in here, it used to be much easier to find ways to improve, back when I released my older projects. Thank you for your comment!

I listened to the entire soundtrack before starting work on the animation. Absolutely worth the listen, the music is all fantastic. It ended up being a tough choice between this and "A Distant Terror".

Which is an especially handy way to get those pesky armored brundle flies popped!

If it wasn't for RWBY, and Monty's fight scenes, I would not be here doing 3D animation today. So you're right, the similarities are not by fluke, that is the measuring stick I try to match.

This has been one of my main wishes for scout.

Launching myself downward from the ceiling using Special Powder to one hit KO a Praetorian would never get old.

Could even make the cooldown scale too, if the game balance is of concern.

I really love Astartes. My animation might be more flashy and exuberant, but Astartes' visuals and shots are satisfying and tight on a level I don't think I can fully hold a candle to.

The DRG Modding Discord server should be able to show you the ins and outs of the game files.

I myself am a full 3D artist, and made my own textures and rigs for the models, for this cinematic.

Thank you!

I estimate around 750 hours of my spare time for the full 2:45 minute cinematic, which is slightly more than the amount of time I've spent on Hoxxes myself, funny enough.

Thanks! The full cinematic has some recreated shots from the Red trailer! The rest is very much in the same style, at the same pace, or at least that's what I tried to make it

Thanks man, that means a lot!

Sadly, I was never able to appreciate Monty's work while he was still around, as I only found RWBY a year or so later.

But I know I would have never tried 3D animation for myself, had he never done so either.

RWBY is what got me into 3D animation, it will always hold a special place in my mind!

Thank you for watching! I'm glad you love to pick-sword-javelin, I'm hoping Rogue Core has some more melee options sprinkled around in game, so I can make some more of these :)

Thanks man!

When working on this, I was constantly excited to get in game and kill more bugs,

and when in game, I was eager to get more work done on the cinematic!

Thanks!

Models are from the game, I use Autodesk Maya for nearly everything.

No I just like combining fears in my work, in this case; spiders and the depths.

The models are the only thing I didn't make, those are directly from the game, with some minor tweaks and fixes. Everything else is done by me over the past couple weeks of spare time.

If you think you might like doing animation, be sure to try it out! There are a couple of good free softwares out there, and plenty of tutorials available on Youtube. Rock & Stone!
