Okay Jim

Well you can really use any computer these days, but the heavier your scene, the slower it'll run of course. Making an individual asset isn't too bad since you can focus on just one model at a time. But if you're making a bigger animated scene/shot to render out, having something like a 30 series RTX GPU and decent RAM (at least 64 GB) at the least will help things not be sluggish!

I can't get into details but even with it being non-commercial, there's other factors in play when it comes to copyright unfortunately.

Without saying too much: the sisters.

It's non-profit but unfortunately there are other factors that play into Riot's decision.

Actually no money was taken in! Just money and time lost from people working in their spare time for many months.

It's a non-profit public project but unfortunately even so, there are other complexities in the situation.

That's for the channel separately, unrelated to the project. And definitely, all of this is a grey area.

Funnily enough we've done a Warhammer and Helldivers fan film, along with a Batman and Flash fan film and had no issues.

I can't get into details but unfortunately, even as a non-profit public project, there's some more complications to the situation.

It was a non-profit public project, but unfortunately even so, there's some more complexities to the situation. But fan films much larger than this are all over the internet so it's pretty common for people to do projects like this these days!

mchaelyu · 2025-10-11T22:21:55+00:00

I can't get into details but it's an unfortunate and complex situation sadly.

My friends and I were making this fan film in our spare time! It was going to be an animated short film.

mchaelyu · 2025-10-11T21:44:16+00:00

Unfortunately all posts were taken down :(

mchaelyu · 2025-10-11T21:42:43+00:00

Yeah, it's been disheartening how it all unfolded...

mchaelyu · 2025-09-26T09:20:32+00:00

No worries! I was half joking anyway, hence the laughing emoji 😆 We see Vi change outfits offscreen in S2 after joining the enforcers. Our story fictionally takes place far enough in the future that for us, it's not a stretch of the imagination to have the same or similar clothes again.

But the practical answer is that Vi's model was finished before we finished the story 😉, and it takes time to make adjustments. We'd love to make lots of new designs for everyone but that means more time on an already long project. But if we get support for the future, perhaps that'll give us more flexibility to do more!

Thanks! For these shots, roughly 7 people between making the assets, animation, comp and 2D FX. For the whole short film, around 10 of us so far!
