Voutok S'Tythe (Ray) Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Unless that was explicitly stated in one of their podcasts, I don't think so.Though, I would like some verification on if they're still implementing the CGI or if they encountered a technical difficulty, or if they're simply halted because of life throwing something at one or more of the workers. Behind this sucky post count, a writer and hardcore RPer lies in wait of a reason to post... For those who will likely ask when reading some of my non-RP posts: for me, "*shot*' = "I know that what I said was something stupid and I am acknowledging this before people think I'm serious."

A whisper from outside, I can hear as if they were talking right at me. An explosion in another koro, I hear as if it's just outside. Sounds useful, right?""Wrong.""It's a curse, if you ask me. The same pen dropping inside this aforementioned silent room would ring in my ears. If I stood by the same motor, I'd get a headache.

Mesonak Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) Unless that was explicitly stated in one of their podcasts, I don't think so. Though, I would like some verification on if they're still implementing the CGI or if they encountered a technical difficulty, or if they're simply halted because of life throwing something at one or more of the workers. We're definitely still moving forwards with the CGI. We've come too far and delayed too long to abandon it all now; we're fully in the mindset of "we don't care how long it takes, and we will NOT sacrifice quality for speed." Your latter guess is more accurate. We signed on several new animators a while back to help us speed the process along, but Var still has all the necessary files and, basically, all the progress we have so far. With the exception of one animator who's been doing some fantastic work on one of our CGI scenes and is moving at a pretty steady pace, it's been at a standstill while we wait for files to be transferred. We've taken the time to work on fine-tuning and sprucing up the island. Also, if you all have been following our update videos, you would realize this, but I'll post it on BZPower too. We're going to be doing something we didn't originally want to do, but in light of how things are progressing, we think it makes the most sense: releasing the movie in parts. We'll still make a compilation video at the end featuring all the parts that will act as the full "movie," but we'll release it in parts first. We were going to do this originally anyways, due to people who may have slow internet connections; only difference would be it would take place after the movie's release. We're simply inverting the order so we can get it out quicker. We've got a rough estimate on when the first part will be released, but in order to not disappoint you guys, we won't breathe a word of it until we're ready. -Mesonak Edited February 12, 2013 by Mesonak The Three Virtues YouTube Channel ----- ----- Check it out for laughs, discussion, and more.

Glad to see people are enjoying it. Kahi's working on getting it up on ReBrick, so he'll probably make a post after this one with that link. Yeah, we began work on the project early 2011.

~kh Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Right, so I've been working on animation lately, and I've put a little behind the scenes time-lapse of my work therein. For those of you who have not seen it yet, you can view it there. I know it's been mentioned here then and again but there you go. Animation resumes two weeks from now in SPRING BREAK WEEK, so get ready to see at least one or two new screenshots and maybe a new video. BioCraft is getting pretty close to being done.

BULiK Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 By definition, the entire movie will be CGI But IMO, It's safe to assume any major fight scenes (Or anything involving acrobatics beyond what Vanilla Minecraft offers, for that matter) will be animated by the Biocraft Team using the Maya animator.

The others would love it if you could compose something for us as a test to see how things could work from here on out.Basically, what we'd love is if you could create something that sounds kind of like a mix between MNOG-style music and the kind you would find in the movies; a hybrid of those two styles. Doesn't have to have any specific sound to it (complete freedom in that regard) as long as it draws some inspiration from those sources.
