Technical Issues: support tabletopia. GH: More polys let us do a lot more detail. The Blood Eagle heavy armor looks pretty close to the Royo painting from the cover of Voodoo magazine last year. TM: The actual shoot day for the motion capture is what gets me going.
It's me, Barry, and our actor, Cosmo Hom. Cosmo comes up with the moves. He's incredible. He can dodge five bullets, tuck and roll, then come up in the same pose he started in.
Tell you what, though. The added realism is amazing! Even when the models are standing still, they look like they're breathing. There's more time to refine the models and the special effects. I'd have to say my favorite part has been the BioDerms, getting their animated motion to reflect their bestial, ferocious aspects. Dynamix: Very cool.
How'd you approach the BioDerm motion from a creative standpoint? BD: We looked at the concept sketches, showed them to Cosmo, and had him pretend to be one of the Derms. We got something that looks maybe part gorilla, part panther. Longer strides, more ferocity in the moves than with the human models, and more violent death scenes.
Cosmo mimics the weight of each weapon, so we don't have to weigh anything down with sand or bolts. We had to hacksaw a supersoaker to get the markers right. TM: Oh, yeah, sorry. The key points that the animators - Gerald and Barry - use as benchmarks when the motion capture is translated to the model. At the shoot, we put these little reflective balls on the actor. When we transfer the video motion to animation, the artist tracks the location of those balls to triangulate accurately between frames.
TM: The buddy backup gives you a sense of accomplishment. Nothing like helping someone else take out the enemy generators. Plus there's no gibbage. I'm definitely OK with not showing lots of blood. BD: I agree. Not having gibbage doesn't reduce the fun factor at all. The teamwork is the main thing, yeah, but I like how the game is wide open to user mods.
We've seen some amazing - and weird - stuff out there. GH: Oh, yeah. Renegade tac nukes, for instance. Rapid-fire mortars. Amish skins. People are definitely getting creative. BD: Raising the bar. There's a lot of awesome stuff out there. Our goal is to raise people's expectations a notch higher.
GH: Working with a new engine. You have to throw out the stuff you used to do and learn new ways to get your results. Motion capture this time around was a lot easier, but with all the expanded options, it was still tough to get all the moves in by the deadline. It's a challenge. The technology lets you do more, so you end up working harder in the same time frame to fit it all in. GH: A lot more realism, pushing 3D card limits to make game details and special effects look more like what you see in the movies.
