I don't know what sort of level of animation is usually expected here, but I made a shortish animation of my own.

Edit: I've added a new link here for a better file host.

Here's the new link (thanks to FliesLikeABrick for uploading it):

It's probably pretty lame, but I want some people to see it so it can be judged. Oh and the voiceover is the best I could get organised so don't be too judgemental. Hopefully, if it's an adequate animation I might make some more in a serial sort of thing.

If anyone is wondering I made it in Anim8or (www.anim8or.com), a nice little 3d program; Adobe Photoshop; Fruity Loops; Microsoft Paint; and Microsoft Movie Maker.

I'm probably over-rating it's value, but please let me know what you think. The link I have for it is not permanent - I'm trying to get it hosted elsewhere - but will do for the moment.

Oh it's called Barretard X... and it's only 1.8 megs but not too short (WMV format rulz - 'sif you need 800 meg files).

Edit: Thanks a lot to FliesLikeABrick for hosting the file... I really needed somewhere else to put it rather than a FreeWebs account!

yay new movie / animation!!!!!

ask flies like a brick for hosting :/

4kb/s yay =D

EDIT: nice =D

lol. Actually it's meaningless...4/10.

Edit
I don't understand.

How not to obtain health was hilarious

Haha. I actually laughed out loud.

It didn't make me laugh, but it put a smile on my face :D Nicely done.. I'll try to learn how to use that program..Although, I probably lack the brain capacity :Q

-Edit- Make some Magical Trevor animations :F

lmao, That was great. Great job. Was it hard for you to animate the 3D portion?

I love this, although the pace of the movie is kinda slow, but the 3D parts cover that. Good job.

Yeah it takes a while to build up the models for the characters. It also takes quite a long time to create the movement sequences for each one - I have over about 20 sequences (run, shoot, prone... etc) and each one has up to several planned keyframes for each bone, and there are quite a few bones in the skeleton. The easiest bit was probably the video editing (putting all the clips together) but it was a nuisance to plan thw whole thing out.

Nice to read some compliments (I can cope with 4/10 from YukWunHang - he probably doesn't understand the jokes).

I might make a second episode soon - depending on whether or not I can get some better ideas. If anyone has any request please be sure to post them here I might include them. :)

Hahah! Sweet! I love it, made me laugh :P

Ah great... 2-5 kb/s. I hate freewebs and such...
I just watched it, the best bit was the last of it, BPvest and health + a bit of grenade are funny, LoL type of funny!

Great animation, you turned a normal Soldat movie into a educational *cough*, 3D (OMG WTF!!!) cinematic!

Aww crap 2 kbps.... hope its worth it...
EDIT: HAHA nice work!

hehe that looks cool ;)

I'm just putting together the second episode now - be sure to send me some suggestions (my most useful email address is oliver.stannus@gmail.com), and I might be able to feature your name in the animation.

Edit: I'm well under way making the second episode - this time it should be done in both Anim8or and a better 3d program, with cooler graphics, and it might be a fair bit bigger and longer.

thats pretty awesome animations

Hehe nice movie :D

I mirrored it @ http://denacke.net/soldat/fanart/Oliver/BX_1.wmv

Thank you very much Denacke! It's nice to see people who are willing to help. I hope the English wasn't too fast to understand.

It was alright i like teh How not to obtain helth part :P

Nice, hows the second episode coming along?

Slowly - I gotta find time to fit in 3D rendering and make up the second half. The first half is all designed apart from the rendering.

I'm working on a mod at the moment as well as a new map and I've just started University - so things are sort of slow... :(

Thanks for the nice comments... :)

Heh, funny movie

I'd suggest developing an animation for a much more gruesome death for Newbie Newberson. That's half the fun of soldat. Not just nocking the guy down, but sending his bleeding head flying across the battlefield.

Unfortunately Newbie Newberson's head wouldn't be detachable in Anim8or - it's only a simple program, you can't ask too much. I'll try and phase out those graphics though and use more 3DS Max stuff with some more jokes or something. The sight of the bleeding head would prolly be funny though ;)

9/10 - Only thing i don't like is too low volume in speech.. otherwise i would give 10/10 ;P

well, I think you can detach his head. Make 2 different things, the body, and the head. They should be able to move from eachother, just like that guy and the nade. Just make the head follow the body where it should be, and when you want to detach it, just make it go another way and his head flies of. Of course blood would be good
