This was so much fun to make and I'm super happy with the result after the last 3 weeks. Everything is created by me, using in-game models as reference to stay relatively faithful to the game.
This is my interpretation of what I'd love to see of the Halo 3 cutscenes if they were remastered by a company like BLUR again. This is just one cutscene of many that I'd like to tackle from Halo 3 and I hope you all like it!
I'd love to work with 343 in some capacity if there was any form of CGI cutscenes in future halo titles, who knows, some time in the future it might happen!

Though for halloween I wanted to do a bit of audio fun over a shot I recently rendered. Haven't uploaded in ages and have been using the community tab for a lot but as this has audio and I wanted to upload something - here's a little wip.
Move.ai for the mocap base Maya / Redshift for rendering. JangaFX's Embergen for the smoke sim (rendered in redshift). Nuke for the slapcomp Resolve for editingSpartan: Animation: Walk CycleHaloVFX2024-02-07 | Working on some animation cycles to help block out some shots

I'm currently working on a short atm (which you've been seeing wips from on my community page - I'm super close to getting it all in the finishing stages). In order for the process / the future projects to be done a lot sooner I've been after a mocap solution I can use in my flat that's super simple and convenient to actually use. And one that doesn't cost an absolute fortune.
I know some folks don't like ads etc, but I do kind of want to help out move.ai in anyway I can as they've been really good to me and the system is really helping with the projects :)
I've been fortunate enough to be chatting to the team at move.ai for a while now and they've been super helpful in lending me a few iPhone's to use their system. As a thankyou and because the system is genuinely just awesome to use, I thought I'd make a few videos on how to use it for anyone who watches my content and has an interest in doing some mocap for yourself
I wouldn't want to share videos like this if I didn't think the tech was worth sharing and move.ai is honestly an industry disruptor. Other mocap solutions aren't as good, and cost way more in my opinion.

So I've been asked by a few people to put up a side-by-side of the originals next to my version of it so thought it'd be interesting to show everyone how closely (or not) I matched to the originals.
Cameras should be very close but i couldn't find a way to get their metadata for my cameras, so it's judged by eye.
It's near impossible to do a 100% accurate 1:1 replication and just 'upres-ing' the game models, it's just not how this sort of thing works, so personal choices were taken in terms of model / look as i was going after a more 'hyper-real' context, akin to BLURs cinematics. The entire environment was built on top of the in-game scenery so it's a near 1:1 in terms of location and general 'shape' to again, stay as faithful as possible where i could :)
It's nothing new, purely just to show how closely i wanted to keep to the originals and stay faithful where I could. Hope everyone appreciates it!
Stay awesome, you guys are one hell of an amazing community.Operation Charity Falls: Episode 03 (TEASER)HaloVFX2020-12-22 | Disclaimer!! WATCH IN 4K EVEN IF YOU DONT HAVE A 4K MONITOR FOR BEST EXPERIENCE DUE TO YOUTUBE COMPRESSION. YOUTUBE COMPRESSION SCREWS THE VISUALS AS IT'S SO DARK.
