StarCraft: Final Metamorphosis – Released!

Alright, the moment of truth is here!

StarCraft: Final Metamorphosis has been released. Enjoy! This is the culmination of over a year and a half of work in all the spare time I could muster.

A big thank you to Blizzard Entertainment for your support and for making such incredible games that inspire people.

Spread word of the video all you can, comments are welcome!

Additionally, I am very proud to announce my next professional project is the cinematic intro for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion, developed by Ironclad Games and published by Stardock Entertainment.

Final Metamorphosis Posters

I’m very excited to share this with you.

There are three days left until I release the StarCraft: Final Metamorphosis animation.

To celebrate this, here are two posters for you, featuring iconic characters from the StarCraft storyline.

 

So get ready. On the 27th of October, the Final Metamorphosis is upon us.

Prepare for StarCraft: Final Metamorphosis!

Hey everyone!

I’m very happy to announce that I’m a couple days away from finishing visual production on my animation, StarCraft: Final Metamorphosis. What does this mean?

Expect a final release at the middle of October!

Now, I know I’ve said it’s almost ready before. There was even a trailer released at the end of June saying Summer is really the release date. So why the delay? (other than my freelance work taking priority over personal projects)

I’ve expanded several scenes from the animation, by adding new shots and editing others. I’ve added new content in scenes that started showing their age. I’ve improved particle effects and armor detail on some  of the characters. Several new voice actors have lent their voices to the project, enriching the overall experience. More on that on release day!

The final animation has over 7 minutes of length, which might not sound like much, but it was the biggest personal project I’ve ever made and it’s longer than any other StarCraft related animation, official or unofficial (I’m looking at you, StarCraft: Ghost intro). So that’s a record I’m happy to break!

I’m very excited to share this with everyone!

Status Update and BattleCruiser

Hey everyone,

Just want to give a heads up about what’s going on with me.

I will be releasing a new tutorial, Smart Asteroids, this month. It will enrich your space scenes in no time.

The StarCraft Final Metamorphosis animation is steadily nearing completion. It was initially to be launched last year, but I’ve decided to take my time with it and do it properly. Other projects also took time away from it, and life got in the way a couple times too. But I’m almost ready to send it off to Piotr Musial for musical score and release it.

Click here for a render of the new BattleCruiser model I finished for use in the animation, and a direct screenshot from the opening scene of the animation.

It was great fun putting this behemoth together, I will be doing many more starships after this animation is done.

A big thank you goes out to Ten24 for their support and spreading the word!

There are exciting times ahead!

Cinematic Models Update

Work on the StarCraft Final Metamorphosis cinematic is heavily underway. I’ve currently got around two minutes of finished footage and thus, am half-way there. Me and the guys at ScLegacy want to keep it a surprise, so I won’t be showing more animation sequences just yet. :D
