Vlarion 1 - The Elemental War - Page 6

HMC · 03-02-2006, 10:40 PM

I see what you did there

Fredrick · 03-02-2006, 11:19 PM

Have downloaded and will watch this coming weekend.

Just thought you'd like to know, so you don't have to message me on MSN about it anymore.

Klaymen · 11:48 AM

Wow. I'm impressed... thoroughly impressed. I'm... about halfway through it, I decided to take a break to watch Seinfeld, but... let me comment on my thoughts thus far.

Aaron, you are quite the visionary. I'm sure you've considered seeking writing or directing as a career, but you should keep looking. You have talent, my friend. You're voice acting was another pleasent surprise. Great, great stuff.
Jaymond's voice acting is definitely another highlight and... of course, the biggest highlight being the most innovative V3DMM use since Mean Bread.

All right, well... Seinfeld is on, and when it's over, I'll finish the movie and give my final thoughts.

EDIT: When Seinfeld's over, It seems I have to pay my girlfriend a visit... I'll finish it... either when I get back or tomorrow. I'm on scene 259.

DIDN'T YOU WATCH THIRD VLARION.

...oh wait, that proves your point.

Klaymen · 03-03-2006, 01:41 AM

.... Uh.... Is something wrong with Seinfeld?

Breed · 03-03-2006, 01:43 AM

nothing wrong with Seinfeld.

Unless you're..... Newman :|

The Chinese Jew · 03-03-2006, 04:44 AM

Well...I will watch this movie. I don't know when, but I will one day. I have no clue what my expectations are for this.

and I promise I won't AV 3 you this time.

Salter · 03-03-2006, 04:52 AM

Haha, yeah, but this time, you won't need to!

David Crowe · 03-03-2006, 04:53 AM

How do I get 3dmm in fullscreen? I really want to watch this but not in window mode. I've got the compatibility in 256 colours, windows 98 and bla bla, but it isn't working when I ctrl+shift+i an select fullscreen.

Salter · 03-03-2006, 04:56 AM

Take it out of compatibility mode altogether. Just select fullscreen in the v3dmm menu. It does it all automatically.

Gorosaurus · 03-03-2006, 05:29 AM

Haha, I didn't know that

Jesterfoot · 03-03-2006, 05:40 AM

wow, I'll write a review later.

but I can proudly say that I'm gonna jump on the "OMG i want to suck your cock!" bandwagon.

I just tried this with and without compatibility mode on and it didn't work either time.

Destra · 03-03-2006, 05:44 AM

Just a little thing that kind of got on my nerves: Shouldn't it be Brackus' and not Brackus's?

Slade · 03-03-2006, 06:57 AM

I noticed that too.
And there's 'Terranian Capitol', aswell. But Aaron was half dead at points, so forgive and forget.

Slade · 03-03-2006, 06:57 AM

Whoops, double post.

Breed · 03-03-2006, 07:05 AM

I BET LOS WILL KICK V1'S ASS

Slade · 03-03-2006, 07:11 AM

Nah, Game show already did.

David Crowe · 03-03-2006, 07:33 AM

I might post a review tomorrow, but I'll just say that that's the best work I've seen here in terms of animation of scenery. The story was good, the characters were interesting and...well yeah, I appreciate the effort you took in making the movie.

Div · 03-03-2006, 08:29 AM

As I mentioned before, this movie is by far one of the best I have seen, if not THE best.

However, I have some criticism to offer:

First off, I weigh heavily the visual aspects of these kinda things. It is safe to say that 98.7% of this film was VERY visually appealing. Some things bugged me though. And forgive me if I'm being TOO nitpicky, I'm just doing my part

Stacey - Something about her mouth made her look unrealistic, I mean even for a 3dmm character. Of course there is no way you can achieve direct realism with those models Microsoft provided, but Stacey's mouth didn't look too much like a mouth. Something wasn't right. Maybe it was a model issue? But it seemed like a texture issue.

Battle with Kramer - As stated before, this battle (while animated well) took place in a bland enviornment. Adding some rocks and some variety would have made the scene appeal much more. Another thing that could have been done was to make the characters more interactive with the enviornment IE: Dask gets kicked into the side of a hill, causing dust/dirt to erupt on impact.

Dask running - I'm sorry, but Ramu's running animation did NOT match Dask's personality. Everytime I saw him run I always asked myself, "Why is he holding his arms up like that...?" Something minor, but its something.

Anders Borg · 03-03-2006, 09:45 AM

I like the way you think, Div. You're cool.

David Crowe · 03-03-2006, 09:50 AM

I may of not been paying enough attention but this part of the film seemed odd to me. When Dask pulls the arrow out of the guy at Terranine labs, I think he says later in the car "He was shot with an arrow" and then Stacy replies "An arrow?"
If that is how it happens (maybe it isn't), it's just strange that she didn't realize an arrow sticking out of his back as soon as they walked in the door. Maybe she didn't see the guy, but I thought she did.
