Regenesis

Thanks Toby, was really fun to make and I'm glad people liked it.

Sorry for taking a little while on this response lol. Just wanted to thank you for the comments, glad you liked the renders. Sort of told myself I would spend as much time on the presentation as I did on the build itself, and it ended up making some rather nice images. As far as the build goes, I really just wanted to put a primary focus on the gritty detail and the atmosphere. The terrain was obnoxiously colorful (to no fault of barbarian, but it's really heavy lol) so I decided to let the color of the terrain contrast with the city itself, to what I think was a decent result.

Now the story. I never really thought I would ever do anything like that. I, for one, have never enjoyed writing. For some reason though, it was a different story here. I explained the feeling a bit in the preface, but it was almost a situation where I simply couldn't not write the story. It just worked... Before I knew it it was almost 4000 words and a fully fledged narrative, so I went with a full short story asthestic, rather than sticking it in the description. I am honestly incredibly happy that people liked that aspect of the project if they had the time to read it. I kind of almost want to try something similar again if I ever get the time.

Anyways, thank you. It means a lot that people enjoy this, considering it's completely new territory for me... Which honestly left me surprised when I actually won the contest.

Thank you.

Thanks man, wanted to get a bit cinematographic with the renders.

:)


Thanks.

Thanks man. It was definitely something I've never quite done before. I had the material so I thought why not. Thanks for appreciating that effort.

And the renders. I won't lie, I low-key made a lot of choices when building to specifically try and compose hypothetical renders I would later do. I find that putting thought into that element of the process makes better looking results, even before the renders. Since then, it was all about getting a style I liked and rolling with it.

Anyway, thanks man.

I'm glad you like it. As for a short film, I barely had time to do what I did here lol. To take it that much further is practically an impossibility for me as of now.

It is quite a nice feeling isn't it? I'm glad I was at least able to partially act on it this time.

A hint, the sense of the name Starblade as it is used here is not too fargone from the origin of the name. It's mostly just me giving a nod to something relatively obscure that I enjoy. It would not surprise me is no one who sees this build knows anything about it lol.

Oh, it's only pure coincidence.

Thanks man.
