Either it was made by some batshit insanely skilled person over many years, or there's a more reasonable explanation, like perhaps that he used as much premade resources as possible and got some outside help as well. If this was a 100% original solo project with all-new everything, it would be a miracle.

Astartes is pretty minimal when analyzed so rendertimes never got out of control. I generally approach each shot by creating only what's needed and only detailed enough for how it'll be used/how closely it'll be seen.

Parts 1-4 were rendered on a lone GTX-1070 :|!

Mix of key and mocap. Some shots are all keyframe but I'll also often start with a mocap clip that I heavily edit. I also have a Rokoko mocap suit which is kind of awful but still useful to get an animation started.

Self-taught. I've dabbled in 3d for 20 yrs and done videogame art for about 10 now. Also my father was a traditional animation artist so I grew up around the stuff in a way.

Primary software is 3dsmax, Substance Painter, Redshift Renderer and Fusion for compositing. Nothing too special about my technical workflow! One reason I started Astartes was to learn the Substance Painter workflow which I love. And I also love the Redshift renderer, it's speed has basically made this project a possibility.

Audio isn't from scratch and I occasionally buy minor art assets to speed things up but just myself behind the project yes.

Thank you! The audio isn't from scratch but I edit/mix it. Occasionally I'll buy less important 3d assets to speed things up, and I have animation libraries that help (although they always need HEAVY editing to suit a marine).

It's not a complicated animation, and there's not a whole lot going on in it. And that's not an insult to it - the real genius of Astartes is in how it makes so little look like so much.

Every shot maximizes the impact of really quite a small amount of animation. Cuts from scene to scene are used to skip animation that wouldn't add enough to the story for the work it would take.

The lighting is great, the rendering is great, the models are just good enough to look their best in the gloom.

It took talent, but when you analyze it, you can see all its cut corners. And I mean that as praise. It's a masterclass in getting something simple to look amazing.

Anyone competent, with the plan infront of them, could do it. But it takes a real spark of genius come up with that plan.

Study anime. Don't just watch it but actively study it. Learn what tricks they use and you will realize that something like Astartes is very doable for one man.

>For instance he never showed human animation. The regular troopers were all hidden in shadows. Quick cuts never really showing more than 1 second of movement. Massive gun flare effects which distract you from whatever else is going on.

>Space Marines are barely animated. Lots of clever shots like the camera moving with the gun meaning the whole body animation is hidden. Lots of close-up shots.

>The camera focuses on the moving solid objects a lot and most of these are bullets and weird effects. Very easy to animate.

My personal favorite is the run and stab sequence. Here's a breakdown:
- still figures in the distance
- feet running
- still helmet close-up
- same feet animation
- same still figures in the distance
- close-up with some very small head movement
- blurry transition between two poses: head looking back, and body turning back (the hand swipe movement is literally just an incomprehensible blur)
- the Space Marine in the background only has two poses as well: pointing the gun and pointing the gun
- gun animation (real easy to do)
- hand animation which is just the previous hand pose plus an idle hand stiff pose with wrist rotation
- inverse shot showing the Space Marine holding a knife in his left hand (stiff pose) and his right hand moving toward his left hand (i.e. the whole animation is just one arm rotating)
- still shot of a still figure with speed lines

It is truly amazing how that whole action scene has as much animation which any amateur can do in half a day. The guy that created Astartes is a cinematographic genius. You could get all the top animators from Disney to remake the sequence and it would not turn out better. All the choices he made were to trick your brain into filling in the gaps. This is what Hollywood hasn't figured out yet: less is more.

>>917476
cont.

I just noticed it now.
The Space Marine jumps and is pointing a gun while also having his left hand in a stab position. This makes zero practical sense of course but the framing of the shot is such that it cuts off the hand holding the knife so your brain doesn't register it. Then you get the shot of the gun getting blown out of his hand. Then you get the shot from behind the Space Marine but now the hand holding the knife is clear in the shot. So your mind just assumes that in the interval of the gun getting blown away the Space Marine got his knife out real quick. But production wise he was holding the knife the whole time. Again, it's your brain filling in the gaps. Not to mention that the Space Marine was only two feet away and in this fraction of a second there was enough time for the gun to spin out of his hand, move his right hand so he qields the knife with two hands, and fly an extra 4 feet in the air towards the target. Anime logic. Love it.

Arcane uses every trick in the book including high tier 24 fps animation. I wouldn't use Arcane as something to strive for as each episode cost 14 million $ to make. Astartes is a clearly doable project on a regular person's budget. Arcane is pretty much untouchable for all of us.

[Anonymous No.917501]

>>917499
btw that's 14mil$ without the marketing side of things which in any other show would have doubled the productin budget. This would have made Arcane the most expensive show ever.

Rangz of Powah reportedly cost 60 mil$ per episode. This is just a marketing ploy as this information came out before the show aired. Kind of like that dumb movie which took 12 year to make. People will just watch it out of curiosity's sake to see how a 60mil$ show looks, not because it's any good. Arcane spread through word of mouth.

Because it's true.

How much did Avengers Endgame cost to make? How much did Astartes cost to make?

3 years have passed.

How many people are talking about Endgame?
How many people are talking about Astartes?

Or let's try another example:
How many people have visited throughout the years the Sistine Chapel? How many people are still talking about it?
How many people are still talking about LoTR?

Production-wise LoTR cost a lot more than the Sistine Chapel but its fame is not due to that. It's because it struck a deep chord with its audience whereas the Sistine Chapel is just a novelty. At no point in the 21st century (and beyond) will someone go: "Bro! You haven't seen the Sistine Chapel?? Bro, you're missing out! I've seen it thrice already! You have to check it out! C'mon let's go! I insist!"

Astartes is a masterpiece because it managed to achieve the same long-lasting effect on a pittance of a budget. And this is coming from someone who's not even a Warhammer fan.

I get your argument, that it was top tier art "for the time" but your argument is invalid due to Michelangello's contemporaries. For example Raffaelo's paintings are great even by today's standards.

I don't want to knock down Mikey too much, his sculpting was and still is top tier. But his paintings, particularly the Sistine Chapel is complete trash. Not to mention that the paintings themselves are completely sacrilegious and pornographic (for the time). I'm pretty sure he would say so himself, he'll be like "I still got paid lol".

Like I said, people visit the Sistine Chapel because it is famous, not because of some aesthetic merit.

While Astartes is a masterpiece and a labor of love, it is in fact not that crazy if you analyze it closely.
The way you make it on your own is through hefty planning on framing shots and art direction.

You write a script based on what is the easiest fastest way to set up a scene and work on it from there. The way Astartes did it was through close quarters shots and heavy penumbra obstructing 90% of everything except for what the camera focus on the high contrast space marines and the debris from their gunfighting.

You can see the shortcomings of it being done by a single person in a few shots, like the marine stalker in the dark, it had horrible lighting and bad pacing where you can't even notice that sniper was killed a marine in the dark if you don't have your eyes glued to the screen, another slip up is the knife stab on the hallway, a scene with bad pacing and poor animation, the breach scene in the beginning is particularly weird too because of the first person POV instead of it being third person, most people didn't understand what was going on because only OG WH40k fans knew that was a breach ship, there is no stablishing shot of the ship on third person breaching in or on it's way to breach in.

Warhammer had a bit of everything for everyone. Little bit of HR Geiger, little bit of Dune, little bit of HP Lovecraft, ect ect. Nowadays it is in it’s creative death throes as it has essentially become the new Star Wars/Marvel that is just mass marketed consumer slop.

Go look at one of the old army books from the late 90’s and flip through the studio army sections. You will see models that are unique to each person who made them. Compare those models to most armies on display these days and you will see that apart from some differing paint schemes (from people who actually paint) the models all look the same.

I will go as far to say that the lore itself is now reflecting the times of today as we are increasingly seeing what would be characterized as “woke” characters who are two-dimensional and shallow in a world where crazy spacemen run around with chainsaws. The setting has become the back drop to a sanitized marvel movie.

A frame before the gun is knocked out of his hand you can see he has the knife already raised up in preparation.

The scene where the gun is knocked out of the astartes hand is also shown twice for an enhance effect of power behind the strike. Jackie Chan uses this trick a lot in his movies. A while ago i saw an interview where he explained how to shoot fighting scenes.

Yeah, I find it fascinating that the guy was doing it, while 75% of the creatives in Hollywood haven't heard of this technique and still use the same bad choppy editing in fight scenes that makes everything look either weak/lame or unrecognizable.
