Title: Blender Glest Trailer/Movie
Post by: Gabbe on 20 June 2010, 11:45:45
As all of you members know, im on like 25/8 and therefore i have very much time on glest. This thread is going to be a serious attempt at making a good movie of glest. I`ts not going to be made entirely in blender, using motion trackers like Vodoo planning on real life scenes with glest battles allowing for huge armies. Yes, i got cam and i live with five huge mountains, obviously others might help if they got cams and areas were we can record.

Rules

As -Archmage- pointed out in the "RPG" thread, no random loss conquer and income of reinforcements, as obvious as it might seem, no you must not have this in story! Reinforcements is allowed, but they need to appear with logical explaination and not with, and there the reinforcments arrived" without any form of explaination to why they appeared.

If anyone is willing, please, feel free to make a map were the events will occur, it will probably be much easier to think of something if you know were all of this is happening. The map should be big and contain a lot of interesting places.

Imagination is also allowed and preferred, it is after all fantasy so feel free to insert dragons and orcs or whatever you can come up with. Just remember to make a 3d-model for it and PM it to me, or post it like this "and then the dragon (http://www.google.com) appeared out of nowere"

Factions in the movie? All of the good ones, but honestly, penguins doesn`t really fit here...mainly tech and magic since then you don`t have to create new 3d-models, you already have em downloades...hopefully...

91)Commandos, halt the massive retreating mage army by blowing the bridge over a section of the Bagursh River.
92)The mages attempts to repair the bridge are slowed by bombers and commando snipers.
93)New tank designs are made, one mounts a short range mortar and the other is a light fast tank armed with a falconet and lacking all other weapons.
94)The monster walker is complete, it mounts tens of cannons, crossbows, and other weapons, it is powered by ten huge engines.
95)The mage rearguard slows Bobs army before the Monster, as the new walker is called, arrives, it obliterates the mages with ease.
96)The remnants of the mage army in Bobs sector makes ready for a stand at the Bagursh with their backs to the river, there is no escape.
97)The mages are subject to a huge aerial and ground bombardment, it demoralizes the marauders and all but the greatest of mages.
98)Bobs army smashes into the mages, the Monster cleaves a path to the bridge before halting and wrecking the remnants of the mage army.
99)Bobs forces repair the bridge over the Bagursh despite dragon attacks.
100)Bobs army is devastated by the loss of the Monster, its weight is too much for the bridge and it breaks, all of the crew is rescued because the Monster floats for several minutes before sinking, in fact, all but three of the engines and twenty of the cannons on board are rescued.
101)Tiberius's brother Gaius helps figure out a plan to resurface the Monster.
102)It takes over thirty airships and hundreds of tech, dwarvish and roman engineers but the monster is brought up to the surface and pulled up to high ground on the opposite bank of the river.
103)December is setting in and Bob decides to call off all further offensives for the year.
104)The mages launch vast fleets of dragons and thunderbirds at Bobs army but well forwarned by spies he is ready and able to hold off the offensive.
105)The mages call off their offensive as bad weather prevents their dragons and thunderbirds from flying.
106)Bob decides to capture the small woods of Einerven, he sends a force of ski troopers, walkers, and commandos to achieve this objective the wood is being held by a massive marauder force but it lacks mages and commanders.
107)Bobs forces assault the woods in the middle of a snowstorm and catch the marauders completely by surprise, hundreds surrender.
108)The marauders are pushed deeper into the woods and start fighting with increasing desperation as they run out of supplies and are slowly encircled.
109)The marauders surrender the remainder of their force in Einerven.
110)It is now close to the new year and Einerven is completely secure the skies are clear and the weather is good though the ground is still covered with over four feet of snow.
111)The mages launch a counter-offensive, initially they drive deep into the tech lines but then the tech withdraw drawing them deeper into the woods.
112)The new year is mired by the constant battles in Einerven.
113)The tech counter attack with the dwarves who are surprisingly skilled in snow combat, a new snowstorm begins.
114)The tech and dwarves maintain there momentum and drive the half starved and completely lacking in supplies mages out of the woods, however, five pockets of mage resistance remain inside the tech lines.
115)Two weeks later and with over seven feet of snow in some places two of the smaller pockets of encircled mages surrender.
116)Enrich sends two squads of commandos into another pocket and after capturing their leaders they force them to order their troops to surrender.
117)The smaller of the two pockets is virtually annihilated by a massive air and artillery barrage, out of a force of roughly 15,000 there are only 112 survivors.
118)As February approaches and the snow begins to melt Bob presses for the elimination of the last mage pocket in Einerven.
119)Gaius, in a brilliant diplomatic effort persuades the mages in the last pocket in Einerven to surrender without a fight.
120)Einerven is secure and Bobs army is poised for the next wave of fighting, the Monster is lightened and up engined, the new weapons arrive and are mounted on it.
This is obviously past the point that Glest RPG is so please comment if you think it is good or bad   Smile
This is all I have so far, I will post the massive script/storyline in a couple of weeks, its huge so it will take a while. Please comment on the development of things.  Smile Smile
thats it I believe.

the thing is, this story needs to end somewere, the RPG thread doesn`t, if you are unsure abhout grammar, i`ll check it for you. remember to use a lot of descriptions, it`ll make it a lot easier to make the movie. Want to start?

well I'm writing the story on my computer and I'll upload the files as soon as i am finished other then that I think that Glest rpg is heading into a finale for the war or we could end the trailer with a battle to leave the ending unsolved, this would be great for glest campaigns as well have a two sided campaign magic or tech :D ;D

I`ve made a basic script wich will be very usefull when your creating your story, you can tell much about the environement without having to use lots of words. Feel free to base your script on mine.

Movie script:

{Location= Bar, people on a stage singing rock/pop songs}
{Theme= dark, not yet scary}

{Action= You drink a little beer, before you take a look at the stage were someone is dancing and singing.}
{Action= You walk out, still hear the music in the background}

{Location= outside of bar]
{theme= night, almost silent, scary}

{action= walking slowly away from bar, music fading away}

{location= Street}
{theme= Night, silent, scary}

{action= person walks towards you}
{action= "name1" says: Hello, you must follow me, the king wishes you to a mission}
{action= You walk with "name1" till castle}

{location= outside castle}
{theme= night dark, not scary, sounds from within castle}

{action= you walk into castle, leaving "name1" behind}
{action= "name1" walks into town and fades out of visible range}

{location= inside castle}
{them= bright, outside windows night, comfortable for you}

{action= you walk towards throne room}

alright I think the trailer should be based on something different theem the movie I think the movie should come after the trailer once we have some experience and be based on the glest rpg theme, we also need to figure out jobs and recruit people to help make this, cuz it will have to be a team effort, I'll work out a plot for the trailer and then I'll see what I can do about the movie storyline.
Title: Re: Blender Glest Trailer/Movie
Post by: Gabbe on 20 June 2010, 21:16:05
Here will be the process i think

1. get the movie story
2. take clips from the movie and make trailer
3. put together the start of the film
4. make a teaser
5. finish movie

I really need some of techs units now, if anyone got them rigged and everything it would be nice fi you gave them to me, i`d like to get started on a battle...
Title: Re: Blender Glest Trailer/Movie
Post by: wyvern on 20 June 2010, 21:30:57
Well I was thinking it should include more factions personally, not just a few megapack factions, what I was thinking was to go along with the rpg story, however, scratch the gervoriath since they're from a separate storyy and replace them with some other factions, there could be much more detail on the battles, characters and dialogue, second of all it would have to have an ending, I was thinking the dragons should be split between sides and unable to decide who to help causing a civil war between them, I'm currently working on a map so that our story is more organized, there could be more description on equipment and the politics prior to this great war, I find it hard to write everything out so I'll probably write the whole story, by the way, what do we do with the movie once its done, put it on you tube or what, tomorrow I'll have posted the map and hopefully a better summary, then in a week or two the actual book style story, I'll help model if someone need me to but other then that theres not much I can do but organize, develop the story maybe help with the other stuff later on.
I am finishing the tech unit models for tech mk2, I think the factions in the story tech and magic specifically should use tech mk2 to expand the variety.
Title: Re: Blender Glest Trailer/Movie
Post by: wyvern on 20 June 2010, 21:34:57
forgot to mention this in the last post, I think the tactics should be studied and very deeply varied, ranging from the ancient charge your opponent tactic to shield walls, phalanxes, carpet bombing and paradrops, maybe some battle similar to bastogne, when the alliance forces get wrecked at the tower place, theres a tech and roman garrison that holds out forever against the invaders because they are supplied and reinforced by air would be cool I think.

I too think more factions could go.

im just scatrching up a begining, as you see, i`ve stopped in the begining. I plan to just make this as a introduction, the point is to make it as interesting as possible. Im going to sell the movie for production prise and release it for free on the internet.

Here is the list of people i think are working on this, if you want to help, go ahead and post:

Title: Re: Blender Glest Trailer/Movie
Post by: wyvern on 21 June 2010, 13:21:51
No offense Gabbe I think your story is great but since I support the rpg style story I think that this should actually be a part of the whole thing, not the intro, I like the original going to town to invent a secret weapon thing more then out of the blue become a general, I think it should be that after you defeat the magic in cajouster, the king hears of your great commanding skills and gives you command of one of his armies and several specialist divisions, what do you think, I think it fits in more with the story, but up to you, by the way sign me up as a modeller, I can model too you know, map and story summary coming soon

Post by: wyvern on 21 June 2010, 15:11:27
heres a rough incorrectly set up summary of my storyline up to the victory at Coujester it is obviously based off of glest rpg but it does have several modifications, also I decided to temporarily name our character Bob till we figure out a proper name and question marks are for undecided names.
its a beautiful day in Coujester, a huge bustling merchant city in the land of the tech, Bob has lived here for most of his life but lately thing have been changing, the mages have been attacking tech settlements with more frequency lately and the marauders(combination of indians and egyptians), have been helping them burn their villages down. Bob, having been a military engineer in the past, is very concerned about these events and comes to the conclusion that a new super weapon must be designed to stop the mages once and for all, however he is still not convinced anyone can do it and so a year passes by before while on a conference he stays in a village that is attacked, he barely escapes with his life and decides something must be done, he quits his job as a mechanics professor at the Coujester University, and heads out to Mechloch city where his former teacher lives, after getting a job at the local university as a researcher he sets out to ask his teacher for help in his project, and so they set out to build a super weapon to scare magic off once and for all. So days pass into weeks which in turn pass into months and yet they still do not know how to construct and make usable the weapon they are designing. finally after a further year and a half of research they finally achieve their goal and design the weapon Bob decides to set out for the tech capital of ? to get a patent and have the weapon produced, the night prior to his departure however he is making final plans at his teachers house when they are attacked by a horde of daemons, his teacher sends him off for help but shortly after leaving he hears his teacher order the daemons to stop, he hides behind a barrel and watches in horror as they remove the plans for the weapon and flee into the night, he immediately grabs his horse and sets out to Coujester to alert the locals, sadly by the time he gets back he discovers that Coujouster is under siege by mages, he is chased by three daemons who he barely fights off before riding off for the nearby guardpost of Crashboom, sadly there are few troops left as most are out on patrols or fighting off raids, and so Bob rides off to find help somewhere else, he finds it in the form of the nearby cavalry squadron which after fighting off an attack from the mages, set out with a small detachment of dwarves assault troopers and a tank to help break the siege, facing such a monumental task they decide to play it safe and they send some of the dwarves to snipe the mages with their crossbows and rifles, the mages launch their cavalry to wipe them out but are beaten off by the assault troopers and dwarvish warriors, then Bob orders his cavalry and lone tank to charge in, swiftly the cavalry tramples the mages forcing them to retreat, some of the cities commanders send out troops to help, opening a corridor for Bob's forces to escape, however the mages counter attack and break this corridor, separating Bobs little force from safety, they are saved last second by a diviosion of elvish archers and tech crossbowmen who had been sent to help the defenders but were too late to do much. The mages withdraw west of the city and just out of bowshot to consider their options and to prepare for another offensive. As Bob is about to reach the city he is slashed with a sword and loses consciousness he reawakens in a field hospital the following day and is informed that the garrison had voted him to lead the defense of the city the mages get ready for another counterattack...
This is all I summarized so far, please comment on what You think about the storyline so far

I could do these. (I am not very good at organic textures).

I like all of your story except the him stating in the bar part, I think he should start working in the fields.

This will be before your part Gabbe:

(Working in the fields) (Keeps fading in and out of different vews)
(Mops his brow)
(Goes toward the well, puts the bucket down)
(up on  cliff side road the is a platoon of army maching)
(The boy in the fields hears a loud roar!)
(He drops the bucket and puling out his sword runs toward the forest boarding the fields)
(The king up on the ledge with hiw platoon hears the roar too and pulls out his tellacope)
(The king looks out and through his scope he can see the boy and the (some evil creature) advancing on each other)
(they battle for a wile both getting a few wounds)
(at last the boy wins)
(He wipes his brow and gows into the house)
(Veiw of the king close up Smiles and shake his head,)
(Veiws out and king rids away)...

Post by: wyvern on 21 June 2010, 17:25:08
Were not sure what the stories gonna be so far I personally think that the section Gabbe wrote would fit very well after the siege of Coujouster and it could explain how our character got his high position, we could also mention that he was a captain in the army prior to all of this story.

Glest - The Movie

                     or

Glest: Retribution
Glest the movie is what I'd support but thats the least of our concern, first of all we need volunteers and to finish the movie, I'm trying to organize the story stuff into a short timeline thing so here it is.(remember that Bob is the characters temporary name)
1)Bob goes around the city of Coujester and he sees and hears news of raids everywhere.
2)He ponders how to solve the problem and comes up with the super weapon idea.
3)A year later he goes on a conference where he is attacked by marauders and barely escapes, this finally convinces him something must be done.
4)He quits his job and packs to head out to Mechloch.
5)He meets up with his old teacher Deldrick who agrees to help him design the weapon.
6)A year and a half passes before the weapon design is done, Bob is getting ready to head out to the tech capital of (unnamed as of yet) to get it patented and built.
7)Daemons attack and Deldrick sends Bob away for help.
8)Bob hears Deldrick tell the daemons to stop and then he sees them leaving with Deldrick, along with the plans.
9)Bob gets to Coujester where he sees that it is under siege by mages, marauders, and to his surprise norsemen, he leaves to get help.
10)Bob goes to the nearby guard station of Crashboom but they don't have enough troops to help.
11)Bob goes to the cavalry base which is then under attack.
12)The riders beat off the attack and agree to help Bob rescue the city, their force consists of knights, horsemen, mounted archers, assault troopers, a tank and dwarves.
13)They reach the city and the dwarves start sniping the mages.
14)The mages launch a cavalry charge and are beaten off.
15)Bobs cavalry charges and reaches the city.
16)Some of the city troops open a corridor for Bobs troops.
17)The mages launch a counter attack and cut the corridor.
18)Elves and crossbowmen arrive as reinforcements sent from the tech capital.
19)The mages retreat west of the city and Bobs army along with the reinforcements enters the city Bob is wounded however.
20)The next day Bob awakens in the hospital to find that he has been voted to command the garrison.
21)The mages renew their assault when they get reinforcements and they are not defeated till nightfall.
22)Bob is summoned to the capital by the king himself.
23)Bob meets the king and becomes the commander of one of his armies because of his bravery and leadership at Coujester.
24)Bobs life is saved by Tiberius when he is attacked at a meeting of the high command.
25)Bob launches a attack to capture the rocket river and with new walkers tanks fighters and bombers, not to mention the Romans help they succeed in their objective.
This is all I have time for and I will add more tomorrow, please comment. :) :)

Title: Re: Blender Glest Trailer/Movie
Post by: wyvern on 21 June 2010, 20:00:16
Ultifd-It is different but it partially encompasses what Gabbe said since I thought that was a good idea, I included the meeting with the king but I thought what Gabbe had where he just randomly becomes a general after defeating some creature was not good, so I placed that part after the battle at Coujester, it could nearly stay the same though only he wouldn't work in the fields but he would be planning or celebrating I've almost written the same amount that I have here only in far greater detail so it takes up some pages. This is still incomplete and will be modified so don't think of it too badly.
Archmage-Thank you Archmage I'm happy you like it. :) :)

Your welcome...BTW, i finished a "truck" i think it is "steampunk" whatever that indicates, it looks like it blends fine with other "tech" buildings.

Maybe this topic should be separated into several different topis such as:
modelling, texturing, and animation
map making
storyline work
and other things that are in the farther future, plus we need deadlines and such or it is unlikely that this project will be completed

Post by: Omega on 23 June 2010, 02:37:56
Omega, could you fix it to be like we can vote for two of the ideas, no remove of vote.
Done.

Question: What is the goal of this movie? I really didn't read the entire topic, but did look through a bit of the scripts on the first page, and found it somewhat cheesy... Also, what was wrong with the idea of starting with just a trailer, rather than a movie? From the looks of wyverns post, that may take a LONG time. Military's part one was 22 seconds and took me 4 days of long work, and its not perfect, has no voice acting, and still needs to put in music and sound. Ambition is good, but too much may be a bad thing...

And let's not even start with mouth animations, which is one of the hardest things. Even the professional games like Final Fantasy XIII with its amazing graphics doesn't have all that good voice acting. So... what are you going to do for that?
Title: Re: Blender Glest Trailer/Movie
Post by: -Archmage- on 23 June 2010, 03:34:00
For voices, let's just not show talking up close, let's just move the mouth and do gestures and show it from a distance.

As for how we can build this:

1- The method I use for animation, make something super super simple, and "complexify". ;D
2- Smash through the thing in chunks(like Omega).



I can help with animation, but it's still going to be very hard, I've got 0 clue how to animate clothing with movie level detail, I don't know how to do grass/fur, but I can do animations like running and stuff, if I have a good rig to use.
I think I'm going to start learning more detailed animation, along with particles and physics stuff later, texturing, bah, hate that stuff.



For sounds like voices, my voice has gotten pretty deep, just ask someone who's heard me talk, like Stephanie, or Gabbe. I can probably do the teen boy's voice, and maybe some other voices with some sound editing.

We are going to do the trailer first, but the movie afterwards. we need a story first for the movie, then make a trailer with scenes from the story.
Title: Re: Blender Glest Trailer/Movie
Post by: wyvern on 23 June 2010, 16:19:58
exactly and I'm working on the story, you can look at the timeline above to see the so far general outline. The trailer should probably show some scenes as follows:marauders and mages raiding, of Bob and Deldrick inventing the weapon and talking we probably will need some narration, then just scenes from the battle of Coujester and the rocket river with paratroops coming down, maybe show corpses and burning villages as well.

Post by: -Archmage- on 24 June 2010, 20:30:10
Let's change the name Zarg, it's so cartoony.

Tower of Hestrag
Tower of Aelstark
Tower of Faustreck
Tower of Helstark

Something like those.



How about we change the name "Crashboom", no offense, but that's pretty dumb.

How about:
Guard Station of Kalstrier
Guard Station of something more interest than Crashboom

Otherwise I think the story is pretty good.

65)Enrich heads out with 100 commandos to intercept Hestrag.
66)Bombardment of the Tower of Hestrag begins, the first wall is near breaching.
67)The gate of the Tower is shattered allowing the Roman, tech, and dwarvish infantry to charge in, the last row of walls is bombarded by aircraft.

69)The second wall is breached with siege towers only the inner wall remains.
70)Enrich and his commandos intercept Hestrag, at first they keep their distance and pick off their enemies with their very long crossbows with telescopic sights.

73)Galag is the final large target in Bobs sector and the mages know it, they pump out reinforcements to this city.
74)The first elvish reavers reach Galag and scout around the mighty city, its fall will mean that the mages must withdraw from the area.

79)The first explosive barrels, bombs, rockets, and rocks fall onto Galag.
80)Galag is under assault from all sides now.
81)The monster battlemachine design is near completion, it only lacks weapons because non are satisfactory for such a beast.
82)The tech engineers load a mechanon, a machine designed to assist in mining and chopping wood, with explosives and send it against the gate of Galag unguided, it smashes in and blows the gate to bits.
83)Bobs infantry moves in with tank and walker support, the flamethrower mounting on the tank proves devastating in the close city coombat.
84)Paratroops of the 59th and 2nd airborne divisions drop into the center of the city, hiding in buildings and nearly cutting the city in half.
85)Commandos slaughter and capture the mage commanders, leaving the mgaes and marauders leaderless.
86)The fighting is ended, when the captured mage commanders order their troops to stop fighting, the mages and marauders surrender over 100,000 troops to Bobs confident, experienced, and most of all victorious army.
87)Bob puts a halt to all of his armies combat operations for the next month to consolidate their captured territory.
88)The Romans crush the persians and marauders in a great battle, the bridgehead into the far south is established and the romans prepare for a strike against the persians and marauders.
89)Elves, dwarves, and woodsmen liberate much of the low level norse villages but are now faced with the challenge of facing the mages in mountain combat for the mountain cities of the norse, many norsemen join the alliance.
90)The navies of the alliance now control the Rocket River after a massive week long battle against the magics, marauders, persians, and captured norse navy, all in all the alliance has secured itself a massive bridgehead into mage territory all along the frontline.

Good idea.

I can help with animation, but it's still going to be very hard, I've got 0 clue how to animate clothing with movie level detail, I don't know how to do grass/fur, but I can do animations like running and stuff, if I have a good rig to use.
Well, cloth physics in blender work very well! I've tried it a bit and it is, to say the least, gorgeous, abet, may be difficult to make standard style clothing. Grass I've tried with particles, but it doesn't work so well (used hair particles). I found it better to use a flat texture and then make clumps of grass as needed with a mesh. Hair is very easy and looks positively stunning in blender, as long as you use enough. Beware though, it can cause massive lag if over used. Never tried it to make hair as in a human head style hair though. Works best for animals, and very easy to texture (even with near solid colors, it looks quite good).

Have fun learning particles. That's the best part about blender!  :)

I doubt it. I never believed that it would be. It's not that I don't have faith in people, it's that the creators were WAY too ambitious, the project is unnecessary, and not as effective as a Glest Mod that would take only half the time, and overally, people are too busy with better things than just a glest video.

I mean, 130 points to the storyline? If that's not too much ambition, I don't know what is (no over 9000 jokes please).
