[Riot Art Contest] - Alex Vong

Kamoblaze

Hi guys !!!

I'm a little bit late but i'll do my best for this contest. ^^

My first skill will be some kind of contact/physical type move. I wasted a lot of time in Diablo III with my monk recently, so I think it brainwash me a litte bit.



My references will come mostly from Asura's Wrath, the character of Lee Sin (even this guys don't really make this kind of move in the game but I really like the brawler style) and obviously ... the monk in Diablo III

I am still thinking about my second skill, when i'll be fully satisfied with the idea, of course i'll post it

So I'm gonna use PopCorn FX for this challenge.

OK LET'S START !!!

First draft of the first FX

Little Update ^^

I change the placeholders circles for some new effect which it's make some stylization

enjoy

Kamoblaze

New update, for now I post just a gif low res, but soon enough I will post a video link for better quality

Need some minor correction and I think i'm done with this one ^^

Does this warm up sphere wrapping effect could work with any mesh?
Please post the videos!

Kamoblaze

My 2nd Skill will be some kind of prison stone. The Rocks pops-up from the ground and go to crush the target.



And I promise, i will upload a video soon ^^

@cmirey : no, actually it moves with math curves, but with PopcornFX it's possible to project the warm-up effect with a mesh. I didn't use it because I think it wasn't relevant to make a projection just for a sphere shapes. Maybe later, I will make some test with projection with a mesh

Kamoblaze

As promised, I uploaded the video of my FX. Sadly, I didn't knew vimeo let you upload only 1 video HD / Week, so next time I will try youtube.

And the for the 2nd skill, I make some timing test. The rocks are still placeholder, they will soon be replaced by the definitive one.

Hope you like it

Its depressing seeing you create these effects this fast haha. Its taken me like 30+ hours to create my 2 effects in our engine. Really like that first one. Very cool

Bruno Afonseca

Love the textures, the timing... good job mate

Kamoblaze

Thanks for your encouragement

@Rusty : In fact, I spend all my time in this contest, thats why it look likes i'm going so fast and you know ... spleeping is for weaks

@Bruno : thanks dude

The deadline contest is pretty close, I hope you will like this update of my 2nd skill.

Bruno Afonseca

Oh wow, that's impressive! I'd just add a trail behind the rocks when they move so it doesn't look so clean. Crumbling animation is badass

Kamoblaze

Yeah I think the smoke trail is not enough visible too, I changed it for more smoke (maybe too much ... if you think is it, please tell me ) and I add some more effect like the crack in the ground. I choose to remove the "drum" effect, way too long and wasn't really relevant.

Bruno Afonseca

Did you let youtube stabilize your video or something? It's wobbling all over.
