info "Yeah"... ´s gonna be a little short movie... a Fantasy short, to be exact... containing everything you might expect... a big old villain" - fat and ugly... his little, mean helpers - really ugly themselves... and the complete opposite... to not make it an affair way too ugly... one hot chick of an Amazon... well, not a real Amazon, to be exact... cuz, she´s like a captured Amazon... and like we all know, deep at a the bottom of her soul, even a captured Amazon is just a oh-I´m-so-helpless-but-check-out-the-sexy-poses-I-can-strike-Girlie... well, and then, to make the story complete... let´s see who´s missing... someone to save the poor girl... and save the Happy End, as well... a hero of course, someone really tough... there You have it - quite conservative Fantasy stuff... :) --------------------- currently "yeah!” is still work in progress… but you may click on the animations button left… there you´ll find the first test-animations, for downloading... even though these animations are not gonna feature big in the eventual movie... they´re more like guinea pigs for texture-, skinning- and face-expression-tests... to get a feel for their handling and so on... |

faq 1. when did you start working on "yeah!"?... and when will the movie be finished? I startet working on "yeah!" in Spring 2002... and it took untill 2003 to develop the chracters and the story around them... well... don't know exactly when it will be finished... since it is a one man project and I do a lot of tests it takes pretty long... and... I have no idea when I'll finish it... 2. the movie looks great but how can i get it ? please let me know how i can order it. once the film is finished it will be probably free for download on this site in a lo-res version... and maybe there will be a hires version on dvd... also it's planed to show it on several festivals around the world... 3. who the hell is Spellcraft Studio? Spellcraft Studio is a small 3d animation studio... located in Berlin, Germany... it was founded in 1999... and has produced several cinematics for computer games... you can find more info and samples of the studio's work on www.spellcraft.de... 4. do you have any plans to turn it into a big movie someday? there are no plans at the moment to make a complete feature film of "yeah!"... but new ideas around the "yeah!"-characters popping up all the time in my mind... so - who knows... :) 5. Where can I find more pictures or wallpapers?? I like the Boss, and i will more funny movies or games or wallpapers or sreensavers, etc. you can find wallpapers in the funstuff section... as time allows I will update it with other wallpapers and maybe also with screensavers, games, etc... 6. what software did you use for "yeah!"? I use a 3d animation software called 3d Studio Max... along with several plugins like Character Studio, Stitch and Shag:hair... and a render plugin called Brazil what creates the unique look of the movie... 7. Did you use global illumination for these animations? yes, "yeah!" and the test animations are completely rendered with global illumination... to archieve this I use a special render software called Brazil from SplutterFish... which was developed to simulate realistic looking lighting... 8. I've seen your the boss dancing animation at comdex... so did you use the nvidia card to create the movies? - I doubt that this is rendered in real-time!! all animations on this webpage are prerendered... but nvidia
uses the boss dance animation for a real time demonstration
of their new geforce-fx... and the demo looks almost like
the prerendered version except the global illumination lightning...
here you find some movies from the gforce FX presentation
and informations about it... http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?page=geforcefx
9. have you used motion capture at all? no... all the animations are keyframe animations... what means they are animated by hand... but I use video for reference where ever possible... mostly I just play the sequence by my self infront of a camera... but sometimes I use movies or documentary films for reference... 10. I'm waiting for the "making of" section for ages! ... in fact i would like to see your rig... You should also produce educational DVD's on character rigging. I'd pay a bundle to learn how you pulled off the hips/thighs and shoulder areas. maybe I will also produce some kind of a tutorial- or making of-DVD once the movie is finished... but I'm pretty sure I will at least post a few short parts in the making of section here on the "yeah!"-webpage... 11. do you have allready someone doing music and sound fx for your movie? I would be very interested in doing that for you. No I have not… but I don't looking for anybody doing this at the moment… because I'm still not sure about it… however - once I'm starting looking for a musican I will probably try to find someone here in the Berlin area… what makes it possible to meet from time to time and talk about it often and try several approaches… 12. I want to make cool animations as you do. I like to become an animator at Spellcraft Studio. Do you have any job openings? I'm sorry... but there are absoluteley no job openings at Spellcraft Studio at the moment... and this won't change untill "yeah!" is finished... 13. Can you send me a model for free use? If you need 3d models for free you may check out www.3dcafe.com... they have tons of 3d content for free... |
