[Cinematic] The Rainmaker (part I)

[Ghostwind]

I am making a cinematic, which is an introduction/trailer for an upcoming project on a much larger scale. It is called The Rainmaker, and all I can tell you about the plot is that it takes place in a city on a mountain much like Minas Tirith in Lord of the Rings, but it has one tall tower at the top which is the tower of the Rainmaker. Every day, although he is never seen, the Rainmaker walks out on the balcony and calls the spirits of the sky to protect the city of the evils that threaten it constantly. The people have always taken advantage of this, but one day, the Rainmaker suddenly disappears and as the protective shield weakens, evil threatens the countryside. It is up to a seasoned war veteran, a foreign assassin and outlaw, and the Rainmaker's servant/archmage (who, of course, has never seen the Rainmaker himself either, but several disguises) to find the Rainmaker and bring the town back to safety... but... they don't know who to look for! And so they embark on a quest across the entire land and into the least expected place in search of him.

Here are some screenshots of the terrain (for those who haven't already seen them)

That sounds really cool, and the screenshots look great. The story is real good, especially better than a lot of the cinematics that are put up here. It should be interesting to watch.

Oooh. Lovely screenshots.

Just make sure that the cameras and everything else are perfect, or I'll hunt you down. :thdown: <-- That's what I call serious.

Great job so far! :thup:

Very nice!
But shouldn't the man be behind the woman?

 

[Ghostwind]

He is, but her skirt kinda flows behind him. He's not feeling her ass by the way

Why is it that your name is Ghostwind, but the pictures all say ~Void~ at the top?

 

[Ghostwind]

~Void~ is my forum account name at the Hive. It was taken here.

Good luck!

I thought I posted here before...

Oh well.

Amazing terraining. But of course, that's in 'effects' mode. ^_^ Nevertheless, I compliment you on this. Can't wait for a DL or w/e.

The rainmaker was also the name of the best novel ever written by Scott Grisham!

Really looking forward to this.

Terrain looks good at certain angles.

 

[ZiggyMcjoney]

Absolutely amazing terrain. Speechless .

 

[WolSHaman]

Terrain looks good at certain angles.

Since it's a cinematic, the other angles don't matter anyways, since he can control all the cam angles.

I have never seen such a nice landscape made in warcraft 3.
The city looks really nice, maybe one day it proves to be a good template for a multiplayer map aswell, if you'd release it ofcourse.
