[Challenge] Larger than life
mod
At the suggestion of @KielFiggins, this challenge will be Larger than life. 1 rule. Make it big. The biggest you`ve animated. Whether it be a cave troll, or a city destroying robot. The bigger, the better! Thanks for the suggestion, Kiel.
Happy Animating!

Would like to get something like this :
@_adamturnbull I'm using Mecha Nurse and Lacerian Beast ( http://3dfiggins.com/Store/ )
Will probably swap her red crosses for gold to play up the Angel vs Demon theme. And will likely swap out Lacerian for a squid type character that I'll do a proxy model for one tentacle, rig that and ref it in however many times I'll need.
More to come.

I`m going to jump in on this one, but May not get to it till next week. House sitting right now, so I dont have a computer at home.
Just some ideas, excited to see the following shots.
Worked a bit on shot 01 and did some quick work on shot 02. Gotta work on the transition and I think the dragon comes in way too fast in shot 01. I'll work more on it today.
Ive done a first pass story board just to get my thoughts done. This will by no means be finished any time soon, but that's ok!
1 - character walks up to what appears to be rocks
2 - rocks stands up and becomes massive creature
3- character turns and runs like hell
4- character trips, or creature swipes and knocks the guy down. probably the latter
5- character taps something on his wrist in a last ditch effort for survival
6- mechanical drone drops from the sky, landing over top of the character in a protective form
7- mechanical drone tears the creature apart with it's weaponry.
Biting off more than I can chew? Probably. But I`m ready for the challenge!
Also, if you want, I have tool to kick out bullet casings and animation debris. So if you see the mech's gun spitting out shells, let me know and I'll send it over.
Good luck!
And, what the hell. Might as well start learning some particle FX. Clearly this needs improvements. a shock wave of dust could be very cool, I think. This test isnt using any actual textures. just the default shader stuff. so ya. Terrible.
I think I'm going to start my own thread for this. There's going to be lots of updates over what will probably be a long period of time.
Will be swapping out the Giant Norman rig with Kiels Decepticon rig later as I progress with this project.
enjoy!

Rock on bud!
@alexteoh I like the camera angles, but in general I get the sense that several shots start a bit too early, causing slight lag and discontinuity.
Initial shot giant's right arm appears to grab the ledge, next shot it is lowered.
When the giant is rising and you get the shot from behind; example of discontinuity since it feels like he stood up more in the previous shot.
There are similar minor discontinuities, but overall they don't break anything and I still think there's a good flow.
Hope I'm making sense.
Will adjust them as I move along.
Thanks for all the feedback. Appreciate them. It was a good learning experience.
Enjoy!

Is it worth starting a new challenge now and if people want to keep submitting to this one thats fine. I didn't get chance to do much on this one but it would be good to start a new theme to get the creative juices flowing again.
That's so cool Alex!! :O!
My favorite part is how he suit up! nice cameras
Here is my cameras and idea , Maybe i will just skip 2 scenes. Maybe just jump from the spawn of the monster to the guys running from it. I didn't have the time to participate sooner because I'm hunting for a job but I think that I need to do some challenge while I keep searching :P.
Like Adam said , another challenge would not hurt at all
I don't know if anyone have suggested a theme already but I am currently playing overwatch and I love the animations of it. Maybe we could do something like the victory animations they have for each characters like this one min 3:10 :
or a mini spawn animation like in character select
