Arcane Sanctum - short animation project

[MaTibay520]

It feels very texture mappy. Very your textures in the UV editor. Add age to the building and make the ground look less rocky and more grassy. You could also frame things better in your camera passes. In the movie, you mention a path, show it. The trees are your strong point in the piece. Not a bad start. More detail and it could be very good.

It looks very nice, the follage in the forest is dense and convincing from all angles in the animation, although the whole scene does have a realtime rendered 'command and conquer' look to the environment, i think this could be improved with improved lighting in the scene.

I must agree with the camera shots too, I think they perhaps need to be more smoother and more subtle and in the case of the building some improvements to the materials would really help. There is quite a bti of repitition in the texturing and the building would perhaps be nicely broken up with shiny layers of roof tiling of something.

Finally I think the animation could be recompressed to 1/4 of its size without too much effect on the quality, this would help with bandwidth limits at your site and with modem downloaders.

With all that said there is lots of good work in there and it certainly provides the basis for some great settings. Good luck with your project.

Thanks for the comments :) Understood and noted.

Though I think I let this project rest in peace. Got so sick and tirred of this project, so I think I'll make something new. Where I don't have any time restrictions.

Thanks again
