I'm finalizing all the files/materials/camera/object buffer, they are under "final cam" in cameramatic. we need to add finer animation to them and bring them to rendering stage as soon as possible. as soon as they are ready we will start rendering the first few shots for composite.

misc:
X invader to cube -james
* cubes to big invader -james
* mushroom cloud explosion -ivan
* turtle to pieces -ivan
* pieces to cherry -ivan

shot 1: -ivan
* fine tuned asteroids animation
* invader+pong moving animation

shot 2: -james
* finer invader floating animation

shot 3: -james
* finer invader floating animation

shot 4: -james
* invader running to edge, rotate a bit

shot 5: -james
* finer invader floating animation
* second invader running to edge, rotate a bit

File manager

Hey guys, I put a file manager in the important links, so we don't have to use fetch to download and upload files. It's really easy to use. The username is gameover3d, and the password, well, you know.

introductions

hi team!

i just got on board as musician for this project, don't know how much involvement will really be required from me but it would be nice to know who all is contributing!

bit about me, i've been doing demoscene productions with the northern dragons since 2005, mostly as musician. check some of our prods @

http://northerndragons.ca/

been doing gameboy music since 2001, been doing noise/punk/electro music since before then. more music background and links than you can shake a stick at:

Should we enter this contest? Might as well =]

upload all the c4d files you are working on to "_models" or folders, and separate by "v.1", "v.2" etc. if you have new versions in the future. I will keep this place in sync with my hard drive and we can sync stuff up when we need to. And upload test renders and other example c4d files to "misc" and "images."

Asteroids

So Jason, the asteroid field can be animated by grouping the light to the camera and letting the asteroids come towards the camera using the emitter. to show the vastness of the asteroids world, setting the light with a fall off adds depth. Tell me what you guys think. Also, I need to look into thinking particles so they can collide with each other.

Space Inavader Moving Test

the timing on this is every ten frames, which would be a faster invader.

i also contacted oktobor, this is the link http://www.oktobor.com/#/work/tiger_beer_-_london/
the creative director responded with the technique used to build and animate the blocks. i was thinking of modifying it to build the big invaders.

"Hey there James.....
Patrick has passed on to me your details regards a couple of questions that you had for us around the Tiger Beer London spot...I will do my best to answer them for you....

We used 3dsMax to create these spots with Brazil as the renderer...
We used Particle Flow to control the brick animation.....
We used custom controllers that were scripted within the Particle Tools Box 3 software....
The actual animation of the bricks themselves was very simple....they rotated around by 180 degrees from front to back, they scale from zero to 100% over 2-3 frames and they move up in the z axis over 5-20 frames as well......
If you have any more specific questions, please drop me a line....
Thanks
Damon

I can't really work on anything right now, I'm going to go home so I can try to save it my files =/

I am testing out some animation with the missiles and the invaders "exploding". I will post some of the test renders later.

Invader File

InvaderVolumeCloner.c4d

Here's my storyline -Ivan

The TV turns on to the asteroids game. The camera zooms into the world and the 2D asteroids turn 3D. The asteroids float for a couple of seconds and gracefully bump into each other. A big asteroid blocks the view of the camera and reveals the dark side of the asteroid where a group of space invaders are playing pong with each other.

In the middle of the game, a space invader from crowd looks to the side, and a big pixelated missile comes and the opponent explodes into pixels. Chaos ensues while the user begins to split all the asteroids sending fragments everywhere. The other player, now our hero, is quivering in shock while the pong ball passes past him and the now exploded invader gains a point.

The other invaders start forming and start shooting down at the user who is using the asteroids as shields. The space invaders start to dwindle and the camera zooms in to the terrified hero as he gets shot down. The camera follows his fragments to a near by planet.

As the fragment disintegrates into smaller and smaller pieces it hits a turtle causing the shell to accelerate and hit a row of turtles. The camera follows the shell as it bounces and destroy its friends. The shell eventually goes into a tunnel.

There is a pixelated transition to black and the turtle shell is in a continuous loop in the hallway of the pac-man world. The camera catches a glipse of a ghost, and the camera starts to follow one as he tries to corner pac-man, but pac-man eats a big sphere and a shock wave hits all the ghosts inverting their colors and droping them to the floor to a crawl. Pac-man goes around and starts to eat them one by one. Pac-Man is about to eat the last ghost but he gets hit by the shell. Game Over.

Invader Sample Test 2

Invader Sample Test

I was trying a couple of different rendering options. I think separation on the cubes adds depth although it might not be enough. what do you think? 

Good news everyone

You could use object mode cloner.

-ko

Ko's reply email pointed me to searching the topic of object mode cloner and found this post:
http://mograph.net/board/lofiversion/index.php?t18844.html

played with TextVolumeCloner.c4d in it and there it is, our modeling for the final starts from this method, animation will be easy with this method. The running speed and rendering is extremely low, that's the con, so we have to have to test with less cubes, OR we figure out how to optimize.

It's a start!

Potential Inspirations

mushroom model update

Space Invader World

obviously we will have to match the color accurately. is this too flat? is there more glow? this was a test run just to see the modeling aspect of invaders. are they "deep" enough? each type of invader also changes when it moves across the screen. so each one would have a position one and a position two.
