  1. It is pretty sad. Maybe they're still stinging after Space Jam 2 was such a flop. Wile E suing Acme for all the times he nearly died using their equipment is a great concept, so long as they don't lean too hard into the cheesy overacted comedy like they did with Looney Tunes back in action. Guess we'll never know unless somebody "accidentally leaks" it.

  2. I record gameplay footage on Thursday and Friday, with a rough idea of what I want to accomplish (say building something or making an automated farm etc).

    Then Saturday through Tuesday I write a script, record it and edit everything together to release on Wednesday. If there's time I try and weave in a bit of the ongoing narrative.

    I'm trying to make it (and behave) as if the game were a real world. So whereas in the game you wouldn't think twice about going into a house and taking things you find inside. In Voxel Tales, Dan (who just assumed he's playing the game normally) gets in trouble for doing so and has to apologize and make it right with the man he stole from.

  3. Hi everyone,

    I've been away for a while because I've been working on this Minecraft project and it has reached what I imagine will be its final form. I have abandoned the idea of making the show fully animated. It's too much work for one person to be able to make (and render) enough content to satisfy the YouTube algorithm (or at least to produce something I would feel comfortable posting regularly enough).

    So I went back to the drawing board and settled on making a Modded Minecraft Let's Play series with the twist of there being an overarching storyline and lore behind the show.

    If you're interested then here's a link to the episode playlist 

    If you're only interested in A:M stuff then episode 07 has a section animated fully in A:M and Episode 09 contains a partially animated but mostly made in A:M comic strip style cutscene. Funnily enough, the motion comic is based on an idea I played with way back in 2014.

    Anyway, that's all.

  4. That looks like the file is missing. Have you gone into the folder V19.5\Textures\ to see if it's there? If it isn't, try copying it from your v19p textures folder and see if it loads properly.

  5. At that price, I don't think they're positioning this one as a mass-market product. Specs wise its biggest competitor is the Varjo Xr3 which is twice as expensive (and requires an additional subscription on top of the base price) as the vision pro.

    I do think this is what most future headsets will be compared to when they're announced which in theory should drive competitors to aim for comparable specs while finding ways to reduce cost. Which should lead to better, cheaper consumer-grade headsets a little ways up the road.

  6. I guess making flat 2d models with limited animation would be fairly straight forward.

    You make each part in layers so it could be rotated like those toon boom style animations.

    They could be moved around in the choreography and scaled in and out of existence. Not sure about other animated elements.

    Toon render could quickly add outlines to the models and give a flat shaded effect.

    Just spit-balling

  7. Hans looks like he wandered into a neighborhood he maybe shouldn't have. Great work Steve. Really liked the set and lighting.

    The most frequent question I got was, "Do I really have to show myself in the video?"

    "Why, of course!" I answered, "That's half the fun, right?" :dontknow:

    There the interest diminished quite a bit! :D  That video rule does seem to have warded many people off. :facepalm:

    You can still enter! Let's see some more Mo-Cap!

    Amen, the internet gives us a unique set of circumstances in that we can all be friends and basically strangers at the same time. If your friends laugh at you, so what? You're friends and friends laugh at each other, it's all in fun. Likewise, if a stranger laughs at you, so what, you don't know them, they don't know you. So long as you had fun, right?

    But when I sample that white van in PS it seems to be absolutely neutral gray with no hint of blue in the light falling on it.

    That's because I apparently had 2 lights up there and the one that was on was a white light. Don't ask me why I had 2 lights in basically the same place because I have no idea. Anyway, I did a basic animation of the van pulling into frame and rendered it out at a quarter of the final resolution.

     

     

  9. Funnily enough there is a big blue light in the sky above the scene to represent the moon. it just wasn't very pronounced I guess.

    Also you just reminded me of the Hallmark Christmas movie I watched last year where they clearly filmed a scene in the middle of the day but dimmed it in editing and added a blue filter because it was supposed to be night time.

  10. The rough script I have been working on calls for the van full of crims to pull up on the street outside Zach's work. So I have been cobbling one together. It's a bit dark right now. Still need to strike a balance between "It's nighttime" and "The audience needs to see what's going on." Adding some light from within the yard in the background will probs fix a lot of it.

  11. Just a couple of crims, ready to go on the rob.

    I've been calling the one on the right, Robin (Banks) and the one on the left doesn't have a name, but I inadvertently dressed him like Shaggy from Scooby Doo, so that may be canon now.

  12. I decided the villains that are robbing the protag's place of work needed to arrive in, and be loading loot into, something. So I went looking for a free van model online. Found a really great looking but totally non-A:M friendly Fiat Ducato (Also called a Ram Pro Master). So I split it into it's component parts and rebuilt it into something A:M likes much better.

    Just finished the rebuild so here it is uncoloured with toon and non-toon shading.
