Unknown DinoWelcome to the Combine Overworld! Until Valve reveals their next Half Life game, I tried to imagine what a trailer for a sequel to Half Life 2 Episode 2 would look like... Welcome to the Combine Overworld, and their next attempt to regain control of Earth.
Almost every visual asset in this short film (concepts, models, textures, rigs, animations) have been designed and handcrafted from scratch. Exceptions: (G-man, and Dr. Breen's Face) No generative Ai assets have been used in this project, even for the concept stage... if that even matters to anyone.
I wanted to thank the Half Life subreddit for all their support and and even suggestions during the design process and a friend who helped with retopology of the bear and the "mother" creature.
Inspiration/references: Half Life 2 Artbook "Raising The Bar" has been used as initial inspiration for the many original concepts I had to create but at the same time, other media has influenced the design process in many areas. "Alien", "Prometheus" "Scorn - game" and Denis Villeneuve sci-fi movies are some of the them.

After the sneak projectile attack, the enemy ship reveals itself from the clouds it was hidden to deal the death blow. Only a few seconds left for our heroine to escape with her land-air combat robot. The design of the robot based on cheetah anatomy, has the agility and speed to escape the deck engulfed by flames. Right when the enemy missiles are about to blow up the ship to pieces the pilot transforms her robot into flight-attack modality, helping her escape and avenge her fallen comrades.
The designs for the machinery are inspired by transformers rise of the beasts trailer, many marvel movies and my passion for creature design.Little dinosaur hiding in the grass, lloking at you.Unknown Dino2023-01-22 | ...Indominus Rex Jurassic World animation VR (free assets) Blender 3.0Unknown Dino2022-01-21 | Indominus rex hunting a knight...

In this scene the workers are cleaning up an alien planet from a giant parasitic egg that is growing by absorbing resources from the crest of the planet through its long tentacles. The best practice is to cut the feeding of the egg before it hatches, otherwise, the kaiju-like creature that comes out needs other more aggressive tactics to get "removed" from the planet.
The work conditions are not the best and life insurance is not a thing in this case. These robotic exoskeletons are built from cheap parts bought in second-hand markets and life-threatening accidents happen often.
The pay is "good" and the workers get to travel around the galaxy but the risks are not always worth taking.

Rigging, animation, and simulations created in 2.83 & 2.90. Rendered in Eevee in multiple layers.
The goal of this project was to push surface sculpting details further. Unfortunately, I had to satisfy myself just with the bust creation mainly for time and performance reasons.
If you enjoyed this, please share my videos with people you think might like this kind of animation. It would help the channel grow a lot and I can't wait to get to 1000 subscribers so that I can share more often some behind the scenes shots of future projects before they get finished.Creating Dinosaur Animation with BlenderUnknown Dino2020-04-23 | Creating a dinosaur short animation.

The main purpose of this project was to practice and improve my skills in blender. Project consists of: - Sculpting (for the foot) & Modeling the entirety of the scene from scratch - Texturing using photos taken with smartphone and edited in Photoshop -Rigging (robotic arms, foot, mouth) -Manual animation of the robotic arms and the "screaming foot" -Rendered in Eevee in aprox 3.4h (in cycles it could take up to 250+h to achieve "acceptable" quality) Sound effects partially recorded with smartphone and edited with "Audacity"
