Inactive Account Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 -Fan animation of the Toa Inika's encounter with the mysterious hero. I think most should know who it is from the thumbnail. Story reference is from Bionicle Legends 5: Inferno from page 22-25. More info about the animation can be learn from the YT description or if anyone sticks to the end credits. In a nutshell: Done in Blender 2.8, a free open source software for 3D modeling and 3D animation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aderia Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 (edited) This makes me believe that Bionicle could do well as a TV series and that I'd love it (coming from someone who hasn't gotten around to those netflix G2 episodes yet/may not ever). Amazing work (as usual), and I wish I knew more about 3D animation so I could compliment you more in depth. The music also really stuck out to me, even in such a short piece - from the heroic theme to the foreboding theme at the end, really good choice there. Haha, and I'd forgotten about Kongu referencing Matau's left/right dilemma, an old favorite. Love seeing your stuff here!

TERIDAX941 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I actually randomly got recommended this on Youtube, watching it over I really enjoyed it, the movement sound effects are totally BIONICLE, the models are really pretty and they're pretty smooth in their movements. You did a great job, I'd be eager to see more if you have the time to create more 1 Quote Formerly Iron_Man5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Matoran with a Vahi Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) Oh wow, visually this is NICE. Your lighting effects are spectacular, and the animation is really smooth... and I know from recent experience how difficult that can be to achieve in 3D! I really liked the way you used the Bionicle Heroes texturing on the masks, and the music choices were on point; especially the Matoran Enclave piece at the opening, and equally the way you brought Lhikan's theme in perfectly in time with his entrance. If I could offer one suggestion, though? I feel like a bit more personality animation for the characters would be beneficial, there were moments where it felt like the Toa weren't moving as much as might be natural. I fully appreciate how tricky CGI can be, so this isn't a criticism; but since their ability to show facial expressions is naturally limited, it would really make the piece come alive even more if you were able to give them a little more room to express themselves with their gestures and body language ^^ Regardless though, this is some really, really nice work!
