The Tiny Mastercook of Evil
FR :
Il y a quelques mois, j’ai découvert que Riot Games mettait à disposition la bande originale de son jeu, League of Legend, sur son site internet.
Comment décrirai-je la joie qui m’envahit en découvrant que mon personage favori avait droit à son propre thème?
Des semaines passèrent, mais l’idée était là : je devais mener le petit magicien à la vie. Restait à trouver la conviction de la mettre en oeuvre.
Les vacances d’été touchèrent à leur fin, l’horizon s’éclaircit dans mon emploi du temps et le temps d’écrire trois lignes de storyboard tout en modélisant les chapeaux de l’intéressé (oui, gros sens des priorités), le chantier était lancé. Quatre mois plus tard, voici le résultat, achevé dans les flammes de l’enfer (tel fut renommé mon ordinateur portable suite au crash de ma station fixe…).
ENG :
A while ago, I discovered that Riot Games offered the soundtrack from League of Legend on its website.
And, oh surprise, my favorite character had his own track!
Time flew, but an idea kept growing. I had to bring the wizard to life and set forth his tale of darkness and magic.
Summer ended, light started its slow decline and Veigar’s grasp only strengthened over my soul. A work had to be done… For month later, here is the result, dug out of hellfire (the brand new name of my laptop after my work station snapped…).
Project information
Started 28th August 2017
Modeling, texturing, compositing, animating and video sequencing were all done in Blender (versions 2.78 & 2.79).
For stats lovers :
- 44 blender files
- 48 sequences rendered
- 38 Go in the project folder (25 Go of models + 13 Go of frames and roadmap)
- 1 gamer motherboard burned in the process (okay, that’s probably not only because of the project x)
I uploaded fire and hourglass models on Blendswap with the tag “TMCoE”.
