[VIDEO]Skywind World Trailer [1080p]

NICE! Love the 1080P (:

Maybe if you do another trailer, could you give credit to Anruin and the Andoran Team for letting use their converter?

Nice video.  Love this coverage too.

My own humble video more than doubled in views in about a day.....

Love it! I feel kinda bad for my shitty videos getting linked by the game sites. I added your videos' url to my videos' desciption.

Thanks! :D

I'll be doing more as time goes by. I'll do another Skywind one when the  NPCs are in.

I plan to do a Skyblivion one next. Are the Shivering isles accessable?

Mehh

...and even the planes of Oblivion.

What would an Oblivion trailer be without planes of Oblivion? :D

Hm... I think you'll want a new text segment (at the beginning). Let me put a couple things together. How should I send you the templates for critiquing?

EDIT: I also forgot to ask, what resolution do you want them in? My After Effects default is 1280 x 720 (720p) in WMV format (for my own purposes) so if you want them in a different resolution and file format, just let me know here for via PM.

EDIT2: I'm working faster than I thought. I've already gotten all 7 text segments done mostly. I didn't do the credits although I can make a newer, more 'professional' looking credit sequence if you'd like.

Here is what I have so far, everyone who sees this and can post, PLEASE post your thoughts. Let me know if the color scheme is good or if you have any other things you'd like to see added (don't ask for embers, I can't find any good assets to use without paying, and Video Copilot isn't cheap at all. The segments are a template I had saved for almost a year now, but I did tweak a few things to make them up to my standards.

Note: Image is much smaller than the full thing. I just did a quick print screen and cropped everything out.

Oh wow!

You know I was planning to do a nicer looking trailer with a fancy ENB when I get ahold of the awesome region texture work that's being done by Eloth (forgive me if there are others working on it and I've not remembered) and some better software. I've also been working on getting a nice smooth strafe with the 360 controller.

I'd love to use your work.

And I hate to be an assh*le but can I get them in 1080p MP4s?

As to the credits: Yes! That would be amazing. I can't remember all the names that belong on it by heart but we definitely need:

Original Games: Bethesda

Project hosted by: Morroblivion.com

Developed by: The Skywind Team

Special Thanks: The Project Andoran Team

(And, seeing as I plan to use the same music:)

Music:

Piano: Lara6683

Violin: ViolinTay

Sure thing about the resolution. it's as simple as changing  out a few numbers, the project file will automatically adjust (I love AAE CS5 plugins!).

If someone wouldn't mind getting all the names of those who helped and the full list of the team working on Skywind I'll throw them in there.

I've also played around and I got a better look IMO. I've added smoke (animated) and the 'dust' you see in the image now has a red tint to look like ash and embers. I'm going to mess around more with the optical flares (not really needed for Elder scrolls but I can use them to create a glint that casts a orange/red glow on the rest of the scene, making the fire look like it's off screen.

Here's the pic:

As you can see, the light doesn't look like actual fire, it's mainly just to help cast a glow, and I'm not using AAE's built in light feature simply because that requires setting the scene as a 3D image, which doubles the rendering time. If this works (let me know if the colors should be tweaked) all I have to do is a fun partical effect that trails the optical flare while it moves across the screen, making it look like a fireball.

EDIT: Yes, before anyone asks, the dragon script seen in the image is in all the scenes I made and is a literal translation using the roman alphabet converted into Dov Script.

EDIT2: So apparently when I converted everything to 1080p, it worked, but the font remained the same size... Should still be perfectly readable, here's the result:

Hey, I think that would be difficult to list all contributors. You'd have to list all those that worked on that in one capacity or another over the years, starting from the initial morrowind->oblivion converter. Also, hopefully, new members will come by later on. I know I couldn't care less to have my forum nickname added to the credit list ;)

In my humble opinion, the credits should list

Bethesda (who made the games we love so much)

the Morroblivion team (for the inspiration, the support and the work we copy and adapt ;) )

the Skywind team

plus special thanks to the Andoran team (for the conversion help).

I might forget some.

Sorry it's been awhile since I've started working on this. I've begun converting all the text into actual 3D models and animating them, only real problem is I've forgotten how to make each group a seperate character... Shouldn't take too much longer.

Here's a quick glimpse (yes that text is fully 3D):
