  • Can Anyone Replicate This?

    Posted by Anthony Giola on March 3, 2010 at 1:50 am

    Hello Everyone. Normally I am a cinema 4D user who has used it since release 8, but recently one of my friends sent me a video about something i normally wouldnt care about. A videogame. But then once i started to watch what was happening i was astonished. to be honest this college age kid who made this has managed to make some kind of 3D engine which mimics a game in order to create and manipulate the game however he wants. This is absolutely astonishing! I know it sounds confusing you knd of need to watch the video to understand.

    Is there some special feature in 3DS MAX where you can import a game and it makes it editable in 3D space? In some cases this “V-Tal” Actually animates the ground ripping apart of changing features that arent doable in the actual game…
    Please if any of you know some special trick please respond because this is simply cool and I would love to try it!

    P.S. I am not interested in the game. I’m interested in the fact that someone replicated a games complicated 3D engine and then edited it to his own liking.

    Hard to say how it was done without more information. Looks like he either imported the game assets or else recreated them by hand. Then I would assume that he did an animation to mimic the actual game, adding things like smoke and explosions in a compositor.

    not sure about the mechanics of it but seems to be a budding movement of people making “films” using the 3D cams, scenes and objects from games and even things like second life. google “machinima” or read here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machinima.
