Heroes of Newerth Animated: Forsaken Archer vs Silhouette

[TheDarkerOne]

This is an animated fight between Forsaken Archer and Silhouette in a western styled duel I made using Blender. This is the first of many other animated scenes with HoN characters I will be making in the future. Enjoy.

Use the music for a fight between gunblade and flints new limited altavatar (:

would fit perfect. there you could take as well a less detailed backround like a desert.

nevertheless i liked it really much

Sure thing theli, after all it's thanks to you I could do this. I know the flaws with my scene like not using IK chains but it'll be good to have someone else look at it and tell me what I can improve.

I've noticed you are not using neiither specularity color texture, neither normal map. Was there any reason not to?

[TheDarkerOne]

I use Blender to make models for HoN and Source games so there's some features made for rendering I never had to use before. It's still a learning experience for me.

Cool, I like it!

[Strider]

Its good start, however theres alot of aspects that can be improved for future renders.

I'd suggest you work on the ground & enviroment a bit more. Having a blank sand textured plane with a bunch of copy pasted trees tends to make it look rushed and unfinished. If your sticking with the hon look then just port over the textures of the game itself in to blender so it looks like they're ingame.

Also movement and body gestures, try to have it look natural and have the entire body be in motion, avoid having just one part of it move.
