yeah, slow here too.. I'm just letting it load up in a seperate firefox tab :/

[spacefrog]

whoa -- crazy particlestuff and well

a real epic ;-)

PS: DL's totally fast here....

[Artbot]

Somewhere behind all the particle and smoke effects lurks a story of some kind....

hehe

you realize this is for a game right? a MMO to be precise... my personal opinion is we are selling the characters that you get to play or encounter in the game rather than a story. besides its WAR!

[Venkman]

Further proof that it probably is a lot of fun to work at Blur, and that the Warhammer license is definitely a cool one to work on.

[kelgy]

Wow
I hardly play games and dont know anything about Warhammer
but what great animation.
I let it load and came back later so it played without problems.

patience can pay off.

Now I will watch it again.

;)

[DDS]

That could be the best Blur cinematic I've ever seen. And damn long! I think this proves we can expect full-lenght movies from these guys...

Anyways...I hope this game is decent, otherwise this could be in top of the the biggest waste of efforts list.

[Buexe]

Mighty impressive, was that a vulture in a skirt at the end? :applause: Just kidding, awesome stuff!!! 5x5 stars!

[Art2]

Damn, that was cool...

[ivanisavich]

That was ****ing epic!

[fgdf]

Fantastic work ! Veeeeeeeeery impressive. How long did it take to finish?

-SC _BB

[Erka2]

First half is pretty borring and "cheap" but second one is cool. Effects are awesome, but directing of some scenes really sucks.

Go Blur go!

I'm on the way to the hospital, I can't close my jaw...

[Zerflag]

Awesome to see this finally online. Great work to everyone involved!

[ragdoll]

[Brian Whitmire]

Epic! Go Blur go!

[kgaulin]

So good...Blur killing it as always :buttrock:

Couldnt have said better... :buttrock:

Makes me think if Blur used Xsi ICE for this somewhere... :curious:

Cheers

[Syndicate]

Well done Blur!

[Strang]

Makes me think if Blur used Xsi ICE for this somewhere... :curious:
no it was not used... we do our effects in 3dsmax using various plugins, the fx crew browsing the forums can tell you what they used.

XSI is ONLY used for rigging and animation

[Syndicate]

Can I ask what the renderer of choice for this project was? A lot of the materials look very nice.

I also want to add that the 4mins it took to watch the trailer feels like 30 sec. You guys really know how to make eye candy.

[MiguelAngeloCBT]

Can I ask what the renderer of choice for this project was?

I think it was Mental Ray. I think Blur started using Mental Ray some months ago, when they changed to X64 bit OS.

I wish one day work at Blur or work as a remote freelancer in a work. This is really well done, really love de work on the characters and on the visual effects.

Hugs,

[Syndicate]

Malanjo, I am surprised you arent working for Blur already :)

The Special One is a very fine piece of work.

Thanks for the kind words all, glad to see people are liking it overall...

We used mental ray in 3ds Max to render the whole project, minus some scanline passes for FumeFX, HairFX and miscellaneous atmospherics.

[TAVO]

What a particlesfx show, amazing !!

[JakeJK]

Hooly Shizzle. That was badass! :O..

How long did it take to complete this cinematic? So awesome!

[Titan]

beautiful as usual guys.... if I may ask, what was the time frame to complete a piece like this from story board to final render....and how big is the team that worked on it?
thanks..

[JoshBowman]

This cinematic was so amazing! If there's ever a game that actually looks like that I might actually buy it. Warhammer Online though? No thanks.

[MrPositive]

That's the best Blur cinematic I've ever seen. This time the pacing didn't appear rushed and I loved the setup between the elf bowgirl and the guy she shot....it actually felt like a world for a second. Damn.

Edit: Saying that, has this game been in production for like five years or something? I remember seeing cinematics (not to mention the best I've ever seen for a single game) for this nearly three years ago. How do these people make any money when they haven't released the game and have like four movie quality cinematics made for it?

[SergioSantos]

The best from Blur
amazing!

[mstieber]

Fantastic!!! Great Job Everyone!

Now on front page... Go Blur Go!

[C0R4X]

Nice movie, unfortunatally the game isn't as good as the movie *flame flame* ;)

[Grrrrrrr]

WOw,wow, wow....just wow. All those characters, all those effects just wow. I like to see how LotR is such an inspiration in all levels. Great work guys. I hope there will be a cg interview with you guys telling us more about the cinematic. :bounce:

[ffourier]

Impressive movie, as always. Good mood, nice shots, very dynamic. Congrats for this well done job !

[Ozoka]

Im not nocking this great trailer by Blur but This One (http://features.cgsociety.org/story_custom.php?story_id=3659&page=1) is the best freakn game trailer ever...just my 10 cents and its was done like 3 years ago.

More than agreed. Everytime I see "War/something" cinematic announce I really hope it's from the same guys who did Mark of Chaos.

[Trenox]

Super nice work! I really really want to see a full feature movie with this style and artdirection. Prefereably in the 40k universe ;)

My favorite all time game trailer is still the first dawn of war trailer with the bad-ass dreadnought =) It even had som gore in it.

[SheepFactory]

Finally got to watch it. Amazing work congrats blur. I usually can't stand to watch game cinematics but I watched this one 3 times on repeat.

[bearfoot]

yeah gotta say..

utterly utterly amazing work.. best anim i have seen in such a long time.

very cool.

well done chaps.
cheers
n

[hakanpersson]

Holy mother of potatoes! Oh yes, best Blur trailer ever, specially considering its lenght aswell. I really loved when when the trailer turned into 2 man battle, chasing down the alleys. Impressive amount of art work made aswell. Visual effects were superb as always, but first trailer had some of the best (warlock magical sparks and vortex fields!) :)


Off topic, best trailer ever made is hellscream vs mannoroth in warcraft 3. Not even blizzard can beat themselves on that one.

[nbeyond]

it´s sooo amazing!! congrats
i´m loving that icewitch, she´s so damn cool ^^

[Sceme]

I am sorry when being so harsh but I guess we are all entitled for our opinions :)

Anyway the quality was great, I can't deny that. However part of the design and animation was bad. At points animation was little stiff, especially facial expressions and some of the moves were overdone for my taste. The armor design...err, well lets just say I don't like that kind of armory on female characters eve in fantasy worlds. Too much used lately.

I know I should not take these too seriously but I just wanted to throw out my thoughts.

[kaktuz]

Blur as always on top row! :bounce:

imho for this moment the best Blur trailer was trailer for WH 40K: Dawn of War
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/8904.html

this epic music..... mmmmm.... goosebump every time im watching it :thumbsup:


Hey, and big thanks for Sze Jones for another cool character! :drool:

[JohanWendesten]

That was just awesome. Thanks for the early morning eye candy :]

[A-TOM]

LEGENDARY!!!:drool:

[DigitalNeutrinos]

Epic, Exciting, Erotic, Entertaining, and WOW!!
I agree with others I would love to see a full length movie some day from Blur.:drool:

[MiguelAngeloCBT]

Malanjo, I am surprised you arent working for Blur already :)

The Special One is a very fine piece of work.
I'm working really hard for that :)
I knew 5 minutes ago that "the special one" will be featured in Exotique 4.


I agree with others I would love to see a full length movie some day from Blur.:drool:
I think they are doing a full length movie.:)

Once again: Congratz to all Blur team! Go Blur go! :buttrock:

[syedamin7]

this cinematic alone is enough to make me want to buy the game :P

[Obraxis]

Seems Blur is now the 'go-to' company for awesome Game Cinematics ;)

Awesome work Blur guys. Love it love it love it. A good portion seemed to me, to be paying homage to Weta's Minas Tirith battle. In itself not a bad thing.

Great job! :beer:

[FabioMSilva]

needless to say it's FU-Ing Awesome! Probably the best ive seen from blur!

[criminal]

That was sick!

[cheebamonkey]

Seems Blur is now the 'go-to' company for awesome Game Cinematics ;)

Great job! :beer:

I still like Blizzard's stuff better... Blur would be my second "go to" :)

[emc300]

Oh my God, I believe in Pixar kkkkk
Very nice man, very good job! Congratulations!
Cya!

[CHRiTTeR]

can you say fumefx :scream:

[DisturbeD2k]

Oh my......that was probably one of the most epic things I have seen. A fav is the dark elf ripping apart silly bretonian soldiers.
And when the greater daemon came at the end....dam!

I cant actually beleve how awesome that was....

Need more 40k intros!

[Grrrrrrr]

I heard that http://www.digicpictures.com/dataeng/pager.htm is somewhat dead. Check all their cinematics cause they ROCK.

And of course...BLIZZARD is the best in the game cinematic buisness.

Check this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEkEuWGOP-A

[BadG3r]

awesome work, blur!!!

but the the mark of chaos from digic was 2 years ago and so brilliant... thx for pointing to it again. downloaded and archived :)

[Pyke]

I still like Blizzard's stuff better... Blur would be my second "go to" :)

Considering that Blizzard only do inhouse cinematics, that would be pretty difficult.

Can someone post the direct MOV link for me? QT keeps crashing my browser when streaming. :(

[angel]

Wow that was really great, loved the action but must admit that the choppers made me laugh... soooo out of place, I was waiting for the jets to come in for a bombing run ;)

Very inspirational, congrats!

Its in the warhammer fantasy universe. There are tanks as well. Think steam punk.

[levin]

amazing! one of the best things by blur to date....

lol at the same time... blizzard releases WOTLK Trailer.

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/wrath/intro.xml


battle of the cinematic trailers lol, to think Warhammer Online is the best competitor against WOW as of now

[playmesumch00ns]

Not as good as some of the stuff I've seen from them to be honest. The lighting and shading in particular wasn't as good as their previous efforts in my opinion.

Absolutely beautiful animation and f/x stuff though.

[metamesh]

i totally agree on this one, I love blur's cinematic cos of their effects, is great to see how they push 3dsmax to the limits in terms of effects, they are always awesome, but character wise i feel they could be better, design and animation wise...I understand that normally the client and the time to make the videos are the ones marking the quality and style...animation tend to be just awesome in their shorts, and the characters too, but when it comes to this other style i don't really like it...all the girls look the same, and all the characters tend to look like toys...don't get me wrong, still top noch quality, i just think their effects are at a much higher level than their characters...

[azozel]

Are they still using max? I thought they switched to XSI

[automat]

Are they still using max? I thought they switched to XSI

Blur is still using max and XSI in a pipeline

[mayazeus]

Yeeeaaaaaaaa...came out amazing....i feel privelaged to have even touched it, and to have watched all the brilliant artists who contributed to it. Came out Epic as hell. :)

[vlad74]

Absolutely agree with this statement.

[angel]

absolutely right, for a second I forgot it was a trailer for WH online.:argh:

[RockinAkin]

Badass work as always coming out of Blur. :thumbsup:

Is there a link to download it in HD?

[eyad]

it reminds me with WarCraft ...but that was much powerful .....i think.

[BigJay]

Warcraft is heavily influenced by Warhammer. Warhammer is late to the computer game field but has caught up nicely. At a glance they look almost identical but once you get into both worlds you'll see theres lots of differences that make them both unique.

Great Cinematic. nice seeing a squigg hopper and the greater demon at end(can't even attempt to try to spell its name Tezzasomethingorother...lol). lol the choppers seem out of place but dwarfs in Warhammer are inventors and along with choppers and the rotating guns you see in short also make tanks and other machines that border on steampunk.

Congrats on a great Cinematic to all involved.

[Baldasseroni]

Go Blur Go !
(sorry i could not resist to write it ) :beer:

[tnemeth]

I'm gonna have to throw in my "Amazing work, yet again" too. Came out great guys.

[matty2x4]

Is it just me or does an ork start runing out of the castle after the ball takes out the front gate? And then they storm the castle from the same side? Or dose the ball take out the gates from the inside? That would make more sence...
And on a side note I think this looks fantastic, dont get me wrong, but it feels like it was "written" buy a 10 year old kid. Its a bit "and then, and then, and then" for my tastes.

[Samuraikuroi]

DAMN! That was Awesome.

[chewaka]

And of course...BLIZZARD is the best in the game cinematic buisness.

Probably BLIZZARD is the best, but they aren't in the cinematic business...

[neuromancer2]

And I thought those guys over at Blur couldn't be any more badass...wow.

[phoenix]

This is KickA** work ... Very Impressive

[TyroneMaddams]

Props to Blur for an amazing cinematic :buttrock::D

[nadmai]

Fantastic work by Blur, an epic scale piece, the particle TD needs a big pat on the back for this one. This is a very popcorn piece with great action, but I think the Blizzard trailer for Lich king delivers a more satisfying narrative, instantly giving those not familiar with WoW an insight into this ancient, fallen king whereas the Blur trailer is more an overview of the ablities and 'feel' of particular races and classes.

Loved the humourous touches in the WAR piece - squid herder (great characterization and animation on him!), orc bashing the soldier off a step, orc catapulted into a building. It would have tickled me if the epic magic boulder had arc'd across the sky and then fallen short and hit a bunch of goblins but I suppose there would have been a problem getting into the fortress then....
:applause:

[overcontrast]

gr8 job. But seeing previous works from blur I think they cud have done it much better. Some actions were confusing and readability was poor. Although most will like it for the cool effects and eye candy, but I think it lacks a better storytelling. Great job on the FX and coolness, poor job on storytelling.

[DisturbeD2k]

absolutely right, for a second I forgot it was a trailer for WH online.:argh:

Personally I thought you did lol. You stated that the Helicopters were out of place and I reminded you that they existed in that universe. Like cars in ours.
Sorry I gave a rather brief description before.
I worked in Games Workshop for my gap year and into the hobby for over 10. I often had kids come in and ask why there were tanks and helicopters in the fantasy universe.

I usually respond: If crazy arcane magic and having to endure endless wars happened in our universe. How would our technology develop? Most likely not like how it looks today.

Also that dwarfs are an ancient race within the system and so there technology is the most advanced. But have little to no magic speciality as a result. I admit I don’t collect dwarfs so my knowledge on them isn’t perfect.

Sorry if I may be explaining something that you all ready know but your first response of

"Those choppers look out of place"
to
"off course I know there are choppers in that universe"

Portrayed to me that you might be a little confused. If you are talking mainly about aesthetics then I believe the choppers are in the scene is for the dwarf fans.

No offence meant to be intended

[chaoticreality]

animation looks a bit off in some shots but overall an eye candy for sure...

wish I had the opportunity to work on such projects :p

[grundgedanke]

Overall i like the Warhammer Cinematics a lot more than the WOTLK thingy. Blizzard has done better with the initial WoW Cinematics which i still, after more than 4 years, love. But I am really dissapointent by the WOTLK thing.

Let's hope that the Warhammer gane is as good as the cinematics.

[Hordak]

Ok that was very entertaining! great job. Love the squighopper or what's it called! and love the brutality!

[Djampa]

Wow...

Impressive. I didn't look much at the script of this work, but it caught my attention all the time.

Congratulations to the team !

Have good sales !

[atd]

hello,


that sort of symphony of visual effects. I wonder who is behind the supervision of visual effects.

SHALL BE Thinking particles-Fumefx the pluggins who used to so refined effects.

More than a great work of art but in my honest opinion is not very well directed and lack of facial animation cool me a little plot.


Although I repeat an exceptional job.

So...Go Blur Gooooooo !!

[bugzor]

ace. (just filling up space to get 10 characters, otherwise i can't post ;c )

[Strang]

[ranhell]

ive always loved these kind of small movie clips they pack a lot of 3d stuff particles,cloth,textures,building.creatures all the stuff a movie junkie likes....

[Ballo]

Yes, I think the characters of this cinematic maybe they could be better. But probably, is the client who he want certain style.

excellent cinematic, of course.

[phantomworkshop]

Blur always delivers 200%! You guys rock. Seriously. The Blur cinematic work inspires us all to achieve that type of realism and life in our own animation projects. Excellent work you guys! Keep it rockin!

[BelieverDeceiver]

sex!

go blur go!

[DuttyFoot]

another awesome cinematic from blur...this is awesome. the particle fx are really amazing.

[atd]

Thanks Strang much appreciated



is incredible work done and helps you understand it from the standpoint of the effects just because I put the site among my favourites



Again Thanks very much

[Dapper]

Great job, I would love to see the high res version of this clip.

[JBSDesigns]

Wow! This almost turns me into a gamer...almost. By far the best work i've seen by Blur yet. What did they use for the Hair and Cloth. Was it XSI perhaps? That was some inspiration. Definitely made my day.

[Zerflag]

Cloth and hair were simmed in Max to the best of my knowledge. Rigging and animation were in XSI. Everything else was in 3ds

[Rla]

As usual..expect no less from blur..and once again some sweet fxs for the eyes....SWEET!!!

[ANasir]

awesome job guys!!

:beer:

[MartinNielsen]

Excellent stuff as always. Personally I have a thing for the Blizzard stuff, but this one rocks for sure :)

[Emmanuel]

Yeah, with that DoW2 cinematic and the ones from WOTLK and AOR, there's three absolutely over the top fantasy CG stuff out there.Simply jaw dropping, although I have to admit I like the WOTLK best because of its "cool" palette and the subtle yet effective animation on Athas.I bow down to the artists who worked on all those cinematics, though, you guys are incredible !

[rianchen]

Awesome, if using this style make a warhammer movie,i will bcome big fan of it.

[Lunatique]

Finally got to watch it. Amazing work congrats blur. I usually can't stand to watch game cinematics but I watched this one 3 times on repeat.

Yeah, a lot of game cinematics tend to be filled with cliches and wannabe directors trying to mimic well-known films, without much originality. This one was actually pretty fun to watch. I watched it a couple of times too.

[Baltasound]

Sorry to burst ya bubble, but everything i just is a lame ripoff from Blizzard and the Warcraft world, even the story.

Dwarves, Elves and Human form an ALLIANCE? Where did i heard that before? Ow yeah right HERE (http://www.wowwiki.com/Alliance).

Looked great though.

sorry to burst your bubble... but warhammer is based off the boardgame from the early 1980s and most things from both games are probably based a little bit on lord of the rings and other earlier fantasy books

nice lookin cinematic..

[circusboy]

Dwarves, Elves and Human form an ALLIANCE? Where did i heard that before? Ow yeah right HERE (http://www.wowwiki.com/Alliance).



This 'alliance' in fantasy stories is about as typical as dragons breathing fire.
I can't think of any I've read from any author inwhich they were natural enemies.
Not saying there aren't any. So I too give this nod to Tolkien without knowing any better.

And the cinematic is a blast!

[Obraxis]

Isnt it all just a rip-off of Tolkien? :arteest:

[logante]

Impressive work, Blur. :buttrock:

When I say cliches, I don't mean premise. Lord knows if all developers had to come up with unique premises, we'd have very few video games left in this world. What I meant was the direction. The camera moves, the camera angles, the choreography of the action sequences, the editing, the framing of the shots...etc. Most cinematics have no originality or even fluidity in the way they are directed and edited--they just mimic whatever is famous or well-known out there.

Sorry to quote you like every one else but funny enough I do beleve you some what.
Of course I totally disagree that there entire history has been copied from WOW. Warhammer is 25 years old and has a lot more depth in its history then warcraft can dream of. But age or rec, is starting to look more and more like warcraft.
I saw the character creation screen and thought....hmm the orcs look different in lich king.
Also since when do dwafes and elves fight on the same side. Since when have orcs actually been organised! Orcs dont full back when a stupid chaos horn is called they keep fighting cause they are better then stupid chaos folk!
We know the high elves are good and the dark elves are bad, but what about the wood elves. Who are they going to fight with.
The fantasy universe has usually been very respected with comics, novels and new rule books for the past 25 years. This game looks like they want to change how the entire system works. There has never been such a war causeing such aliances.
I will play the game when it comes out but I dont like the idea of choosing my ork character and having to fight along side chaos scum.
A good amount of GW staff also agree that this game is heavily influenced by WOW.

[circusboy]

Also since when do dwafes and elves fight on the same side. Since when have orcs actually been organised! Orcs dont full back when a stupid chaos horn is called they keep fighting cause they are better then stupid chaos folk!

All covered in the Load of the Rings (the books) thats since when.
Usualy comes down to a 'a single Greater Evil that will destroy them all if they dare to fight it alone' yada-yada.

[RappyBMX]

awesome work Blur :buttrock:

[Bandolin]

How long must we wait until we get a feature length movie? It already has more appeal than the latest Star Wars outing. And it wouldn't be the first movie based on a game.

[robinmitra]

i love you blur studio :D
this was a bit blizzard style but awesomely executed....

[neuromancer2]

...fanboys...silly kids...Blizzard and Blur, both kick ass. I mean, saying that they ripped off this and that is ridiculous. Last time I checked they were a company simply doing what the client tells them to do...and doing it very well I might add.

[Baltasound]

Warhammer, 25 years old.....


Slap me.

Hard.

[robinmitra]

Warhammer, 25 years old.....

lol slapped you....hard :D

[xoplasma]

This one of the better animations I have seen since Final Fantasy Advent Children...These guys should make an epic mov...I am sure we will see one in the near future...

[iSOBigD]

This was very cool. Obviousely this is Warhammer so they're not aiming for realism with the characters, but the effects and animations were top-knotch. The WoW video was nice, but very little was happening in it. This has way more animation and tons of cool effects. I enjoyed it.
