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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
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'm currently working on drawing a small world-map of the land of Glest. ;)

Omega: Very interesting, I'll have to get into particles sometime soon, after I get some other things done. :)

Update: This kinda a zoomed in map, just too start, and place the villages. :)  I'll be uploading a pic soon probably. ;)

Can't wait, by the way Arch, read our current storylines so that the map sort of fits the story, we can alter the story I suppose to fit the map. At any rate I can't wait to see it. :) :)

73)Galag is the final large target in Bobs sector and the mages know it, they pump out reinforcements to this city.

This is obviously past the point that Glest RPG is so please comment if you think it is good or bad  :)
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. :) :)
