Cinematic Gray Entity - a cinematic

[Vicboy]

Gray Entity is a project using desaturated/shaded textures to make a black and white kind of film.

There will be several stories in one location.
Some of the stories include:

Story 1​

A orc child (colored or not, I haven't decided (help me on this one)) that is rejected by his fellow classmates who are normal people. What will the orc peon do?

Story 2​

Children who wanders to an abandoned farmhouse surrounded by a forest gets murdered by a mysterious spirit. Will any of them be able to escape the spirit's forest?

Help needed (Just a few things)

*I can't find the model of "Flower" in Environment - Doodad in the MPQ

 

[Azlier]

That is almost as strange an idea as Chocobo wanting to invert all the colors on the screen. Insanity.

You need a model besides peon, though. A peon looks nothing like a child.

At least it's original .

I was going to make a silhouette iPod commercial...

But I'll do this first.

Finally, another cinematic.

Cool idea, good luck! :thup:

Nice idea - when I was working on an old UAV concept, I was tinting everything thermal black/white - made a neat effect.

Wonder if I have pictures of it it..I remember explosions looked really sweet.

I was going to do something similar for a thermal effect, probably similar to Windex's, but didn't have enough room for all of the models and textures so I'll have to do something else.

 

[WindexIsBack]

It wasn't terribly expensive - My map was only 500kb, and that was using whole buildings instead of sections.
But no luck in finding them - they were over a year though.

 

[BlackRose]

WOW.... old flim. Will the camera flicker like old flims do?

 

[Varine]

No worries bro. I'm not so worried about the buildings, because I'm using mostly your models for those which are amazingly low in file size. It's mine that I'm worried about; I'm not used to doing these low-poly models, so most of mine are pretty large, even after I use all of my poly reduction programs. I usually only do mods for bigger games, and until I started doing this Warcraft stuff with remote seriousness (as you may remember, I would get bored and start a new project every couple of weeks) I never really worried about the file sizes or poly count. So mine are just too big, especially since I have to import the mesh twice since I can't reuse it. It's a bad idea anyway for this map because I would have to change everything, so I'm messing with filters to try and get a somewhat black and white effect.

And to get back on topic, I usually don't really like Warcraft movies, but this seems kind of interesting. Honestly, I would be more into it if I had found it as a live video or something, but I guess it would be harder to find little kids to work with. Not sure where the flowers are though.

Explosions? Damn, I can't find a way for my explosions to go black and white.

No, that isn't really possible.

My map right now contains 1.5k of uncompressed data.

 

[UndeadDragon]

No, that isn't really possible.

It is possible if you use fade filters, but I think that would be quite hard.

 

[Varine]

No, that isn't really possible.

Yes it is, use fade filters. It doesn't look totally amazing generally and it's a little bit hard to make it work great, but I'm doing it as well, it's definately possible though.

 

[Vicboy]

I knew someone would mention fade filters.

Anyway, I'll try that but I don't have the flickering effect.

 

[Varine]

I've got some that I'm using I think; I'll see if I can remember where I saved them at and modify them a bit so that it'll work better for yours (mine are more for creating a more intense atmosphere rather than for a nice effect, so most of them have dim images of faces or something in them that won't really work for this I don't think).

 

[Vicboy]

wut?
