hunter fight WIP shot

[BigGamingHD]

0:07 Is Gordon left-handed?

[TheMecurt78]

how to make a popular video website:

1.make updates to the layout without warning.

2.have errors occur in videos for no reason.

2.5.sometimes have video continue playing, just with an almost transparent "An error has occured" message blocking the entire video from being enjoyable

3.every 5 seconds, stop video to load even though there's already another 50 seconds of video ahead already loaded

4.have the gayest ads ever

5.call it YouTube.

6.???

7.PROFIT!!!

Half-life 3

[DeckerBens]

Three guys are hunters, they also arent waiting the Episode 3..

[paperluigi64]

People thought that this was a Half-Life 3 tease.

[TheBastard97]

If there will be a Half-Life movie, it should be animated, this guy should DEFINITELY be part of the production!

[IISilverSoul24II]

If only Kitty0706 had this type of equipment

[5282890]

Gordon is left handed now?

[StrongTube1]

i wish the game would be like this

[TheGameVortex]

@fartdum123

hl3?

[TheGameVortex]

i love how he falls of that cube and lands it its so awsome

this could be the making of half life 3

[AceDMB]

you should work foor vavle

[poopoo563]

@sohiln bioshock ok game

call of duty... CRAPPY iron sights.... bad company 2 al the wayyy

[JakFan13]

@sohiln Allright, fine.

[JakFan13]

@sohiln Dude, almost all FPS let you shoot down the sights.

[souldude151]

Steady....Steady...

[Xaeraz]

Is it just me, or does this seem rather reminiscent of the Bioshock trailers?

Either way, I love your work, sir.

[Ikillthin0]

I think someone needs to apply for a job at Valve.

[leon010]

Bah screen tearing, great work however!

[thejazzman9475]

@leon010 Screen tearing? Doesn't that only happen with real time rendering if the moniter refresh is out of sync with the games refresh? Shouldn't happen with this vid, but I'll take a look.

[leon010]

@thejazzman9475

Its to do with the HQ videos your uploading onto youtube.

nothing to do with your work dude, its youtubes low HQ quality.

You can notice it only for a few frames, nothing reflective of your work.

[theDECENTswe]

I think it was really well done and absolutely no doubt it would have been nice to have that in the actual game!

[spiderweb20]

yeah, so now that you have the camera pulled back to really see the jump, i'd still say the fall of the jump is too fast. But the animation is looking really good. nice poses and whatnot.

[simon7570]

wow very good subscribing ^^

[95Navigator]

Call of EP3

Amazing graphics, stunning gameplay for only 20 bucks.

VALVE STYLEEEE!

[jubcool]

Looking good.

[Bassz]

fml, now im going to have to wonder what this finished animation will look like. keep it up, can't wait to see what else you do with it!

[MamaLuig145]

hl3 gameplay.

[MrStone125]

@MamaLuig145

Hmmm?

[wergberg97]

u should do more first person

[Homeworkbad]

Good stuff as always. The no sound is a little weird, but I'm sure you're gonna add that. All in all, it looks natural. Maybe have more of a stop when Freeman falls? Like more of a "That hurt"

[Dylanjraub]

Nice first person video.

[rexrulls]

i liked the start and the motion blur looks very cool.

i think you can make your own game (:

i think you should make a website with many tutorials it will be very cool.

i love your animations keep doing them (:

[Extra365]

wait... gordon freeman doesnt actually have any real model, hes just two floating hands. this however looks like a legit model. did you et this off fpsbanana, or did you make it, or what?

[thejazzman9475]

@Extra365 I rigged the HEV suit you pick up from Kleiners lab :)

[Extra365]

@thejazzman9475 oh ok. wait... does that mean its just the suit? so when you look at the model, it looks like gordons missing a head!?

[thejazzman9475]

@Extra365 His head is actually a camera :) I'll show you the rig in one of the tutorials. In fact, Ill doa tuhtorial on hwo to make the rig yourself :)

[Extra365]

@thejazzman9475 hmmm... well that would certainly look odd xD

say, just a question, you know those blocky quake 3 engine models? you know, the ones tht look kinda shitty but are still rel easy to make an and animate and whatnot?

can i animate those the same way youd animate with the source engine? or considering that there re limitations, would it be easier, or harder?

[thejazzman9475]

@Extra365 it would be the exact same, I would say , just b/c a model is low polygon count doesnt mean its easy to animate, it's basically 100% identical

[Extra365]

@thejazzman9475 ok, because i recently bouht a pirated version of maya and photoshop, and ive been wanting to see if i could try to learn how to animate low polygon models. i dont know why, but i just prefer shittier rafics than newer grafics xD

ive also simply wanted to learn how to mke a simple game on my own. id like to get into the business someday, but since i only have concepts and no expertise on modelling, programing, etc, i decided i might as well learn on my own.

[Adeebster]

@thejazzman9475

make meet the medic

[chrisdelvalleisgreat]

@thejazzman9475 nice thinking.

[Renax111]

GORDON FREEMAAAAAAAN!

[gitarzann]

isnt gordon right handed? why not just make him hold the revolver the whole time?

[maxovitsj]

haha nice gun flare ;)

anyway, this stuff is awesome!

cant wait for the more advanced tutorial :)

[Randelf]

Keep up the awesome work, really looking forward to this scene in it's entirety.

[HisEmptyHouse]

Kind of wish a future half-life game would take cues from mirror's edge as far as immersion tricks in first person go. Everything from seeing your reflection to grabbing onto ledges with your arms. It wouldn't have to be parkour or any shit but it would be nice to have controlling gordon be that visceral.

[mistermaster7492]

You have just made Half Life EPIC(er)*

*(er) is for the people who will be like NO ITS ALREADY EPIC DUDHUHDUHDU.

[iLoveEatingPie]

Impressive, what else can I say.

[TheDoogleBoy]

This is the kind of thing I want to do in the future.

Keep up the awesome animation!

[geokes76]

Very nice, maybe you could have his right arm putting his crowbar away instead of it just dissapearing.

[ADIoPrucnal]

:o Wow, amazing! Does it take much time to You to make this?

[helmerdrake]

The thumb should not be pointing outward but like on the glove/Gun

[WolfClant]

you can be a game animator, you have a bright future ahead

[Zackmunch]

I wish Valve would add ADS to their games.

[Snownd15]

Very good looking test, just curious though, on the last couple of seconds where Gordon pulls the up the gun to look down the sight did you intend on having a similar animation to whats used in Modern Warfare for the similarly modeled magnum or did it just end up that way. Either way the animation looks very natural

[thejazzman9475]

@Snownd15 Just a co-incidence, glad you thought it looked nice :)

[yoshifanforlife]

Gordon Freeman for Mirror's edge also I can't decide what would be more awesome DOG vs Tank or you doing something with G-Man.

[jackhallowatt]

yay hunter

[EVILdemon1123]

Woah, nice

[kaze4159]

Left Handed Gordon <3

[tspxo]

Personally I thought that was awesome, but I agree that when his left hand comes in with the pistol it seems to far apart. Also it might look better if the camera switches to his right arm as he unequips the crowbar and shows him throwing it away or dropping it on the ground..?

[flufflesthepancake]

Left handed shooting looks so... wrong O.o

Also, does the bottom of the revolver grip lack texture? it appears to be see-through in a bit here.

[Filmfan235]

What programs do you use?

[JabberJaque]

Intense dude. I'm just starting to learn 3D animation, and I gotta say, this is pretty damn cool.

[NeroJack75]

COOL!

Freeman's style~!

[TheFlashFrame]

Excellent job man :D

[realesethesteam]

you could get paid for this (if you aren't already)

[thedanster64]

has Valve hired you yet? because they should, like, NOW

[thedanster64]

sir, you are amazing

[iNinja08]

Most impressive first person animation ever! But next try make him right-hander ;)

[garysnail123]

Good, now make it dance!

[ARMaster]

inb4 hl2:ep3 animations :P

awesome work bro :D

[apemagic]

i think it looks fine, i just assumed it was his head looking around without the weapons turning too

[LDMythos]

I'm gonna be a whiny little b*tch and point out Gordon Freeman is not ambidextrous.

[Darkstar6545]

@LDMythos Who knows its never been pointed out that he was specifically right handed

[LDMythos]

@Darkstar6545 Sure, but he's also never used a gun or anything with his left hand, has he?

Then again, he also moves objects, opens doors and even drives with only the power of his mind, so who am I to question Gordon Freeman's prowess? :P

[kevlar60442]

@LDMythos how do you know that?

[NotRaPoSa0CiNzEnTa]

Awesome

[I8PeeMehrdad79]

the revolver looks like MW2 style but reversed...

[TeheRJ]

The best animator yet!

[Nemesiss120]

Dude you're the definition of awesome!

[DrKamina]

You should be the one to help design Hl2ep3

[Ryxaiin]

Not bad, I'd just be careful about how much of the crowbar you show - in real life, you wouldn't hold the crowbar right up to your face, but other than that, it's awesome!

[kevlar60442]

Yet another awesome project by The Jazzman

[ertopida]

omg gief

[foxman430]

Jazz, that's some amazing animating! You're incredible!

[Darkstar6545]

I think maybe zoom out the view a little bit more it just doesn't look like natural peripheral vision Also the crowbar is kinda out of place, maybe remove it or have him do something with it other then that i loved this

[LuigisNo1]

at first I thought Mario was going to jump out...

[maxdeathlore]

This is so epic *_* Cant wait for next WIP

[htcxda]

Thats looking great ! very natural too :) The quality is outstanding

[GRENTHSNOOB]

I can't distinguish things anymore. When I saw the word "hunter" I thought it was the Left 4 Dead hunter with Zoey (like the Left 4 Dead animation Zoey vs Tank). Oh well, it's awesome either way!

[DualEagle]

I thought the crowbar was a little off in this. I think it makes the arms feel too far apart, especially when Gordan centers the revolver. I also felt the crowbar sort of disappeared rather then it was put away.

Other then those little details I think this is fantastic :)

[thejazzman9475]

@DualEagle yeah, it's actually remarkably tricky to get stuff in 1st person looking natural, but I still want it to feel like a gameplay section. Tough balance to strike, hopefully I'll improve as I do it. Trying not to draw attention to all the realities of weapon switching, b/c Gordon might be using some other weapons later on and I don't want ppl thinking about it too much, just gunna go 'game logic!'. Thanks for wathcing

[RedDotRampage]

@DualEagle someone's a bit picky

[JoeyChrist2]

Sorry about the noob question, but what's this you're working on, is it like a machinima/movie thingy or a project for a new hl2 mod or something like that?

[thejazzman9475]

@JoeyChrist2 This is just me keeping my brain sharp basically, but it will probably create some sort of finished video

[JoeyChrist2]

@thejazzman9475 well so far it looks pretty good, the animations look pretty fluid and dynamic and hopefully you can make something really cool out of this, keep up the good work :D

[XxbornaleaderxX]

nice

[TheInfamousBob314]

Very nice work. Always excited when another one of your videos shows up in my subscription feed. :D

[Jico762]

Can't wait for moar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111

[77chance]

i luv u

[Kuraimizu9152]

It reminds me to MoH Airborne

[MADNEXXION]

awesome i want animations like that on the next half life!

[R1pperAnthon]

They feel a bit like the movements from mirror's edge. Inspiration for this?

[thejazzman9475]

@R1pperAnthon I only got chance to play the demo so far, but I'm definitely going for an immersive 1st person feeling, like mirrors edge, so yeah :) I think the Bioshock infinite trailer also had an impact in some dark corner of my brain

[Uptheirons6six6]

@thejazzman9475 I got that exact feeling from looking at this, I thought of the Bioshock Infinite trailer.

[Hermoor]

would be cool to have motion blur in real time games :D

[thejazzman9475]

@Hermoor some use it but it's quite expensive, I think uncharted 2 has some per object blur and I know you can get some lovely blur in crysis. Source engine actually has blur too but as far as I'm aware it's screen blur rather than object blur.

[majormax13]

Gordon Freeman looking down the sights? DOES NOT COMPUTE!

[Bleachsoul13]

this is awesome!

Please do more!

[gordonfreemannr2]

God I wish I could do this :O I do have xsi mod tool but that's just for quickly making models and exporting to an engine I believe. Still I want to be able to rig a model and animate it and then put that into source. That would be awesome! Yet I have no idea how to do that when it comes to decompiling and QC's etc... Still you're doing great!

[Jokaio]

awesome



[ninijacob]

coool

[11FreakyStyley111]

Great job, looks really nice. :D

[Awwwwwwsnapful]

I predict a first person series?

[UncleGordon1978]

ITS LOOKING SO POP!

LIKE LADY GAGA!

[skwisgaar16]

I don't know many people who would shoot a gun with their left.

[kolipoki7]

oh god. You... YOU! i... i... i i i i ii YOU MADE ME GOT NO FUCKING WORDS. THAT WAS FUCKING AWESOME.

[harlack]

Your textures are amazing (not Gay!!)

[DeanRumball]

You... Just... I love you.

[Costerguy1234556]

Epicness in a bottle.

[adamkarrloss]

nice vid :D thumbs up!

[somekindofafroperson]

someone needs to hire this guy!

[joemanYT]

Sick

[Lawlzy72]

so great :D

[MetalGearSamus]

You, my friend, have skill.

[nesfan13]

Oshi

[horade]

you are the god of 3DS Max,know it

[n0slawl]

AWESOME

[ThSeriousGuy]

Not saying this is a bad thing, but you're animations are very jumpy and jiggly. That works fine with Dance Fortress, with the others, for me at least it feels a bit strange.

[thejazzman9475]

@ThSeriousGuy I agree, really it's just the style I've cultivated so it happens naturally, but I'm making this video more grounded ideally, so hopefully it won't end up looking cartoony. If it does, then I will try and tone it down.

[godschi]

First person is looking great so far, looking forward to seeing more of that.

[haroshimo]

this rules

[n11lc2]

Warning: constructive criticism ahead. You're trying too hard to make the animations smooth, if you watch any other amature cgi it looks wobbly and loose like this.

[GordonFrohman456]

@n11lc2 That's constructive criticism? Are you high? The animation work here is solid, the only problem I have is that certain things happen too FAST like the hunter landing impact and when gordon pulls out the revolver, Still, keep up the good work jazz!

[n11lc2]

@GordonFrohman456 have you done cgi before, remember constructive criticism means you're pointing out flaws for the good of what your criticizing

[GordonFrohman456]

@n11lc2 It's just his animating style that he's used to, the only flaw I can see is the rapid movements.

[mrs1man]

sick

[Xemit127]

Left handed?

[Menelec]

oh dear, cutscene, you know that shit dont fly..

[badysiak]

I am tired of waiting for Episode 3 .. I count on 2011... Btw. Awesome vdeo :D

[inkiw]

GOORRDDONN FREEEEMMAAAN

[Slithersouls]

Welcome to Half Life 2, Episode 3. After 10,000 years in development, hopefully, it will have been worth the wait.

[SwamiEpstein]

@Slithersouls Please let me know what you think. I can be reached at GAYBEN

[blueskdragonFX]

Half-life Modern combat 3 LOLO)LO)LOLOLOLEOUHEJHWGBENWDB­VBWD

[DY357LX]

Looks good, but Gordon's not a lefty ;-)

[tfwzyko]

@DY357LX he had a crowbar in his right hand, i guess he's trying to make it realistic rather than follow the games rules.

[McLawls]

Cool bro.

[FoxtonLOL]

in my opinion he drew the revolver way too fast. But very smooth and solid work.

[FBSnow]

The first person view of body parts really reminds me of Mirror's Edge.

[DJplaceboing]

Very cool.

[s0sk0]

this is great dude :D

[zFullerton]

Screw episode 3, we need a HL2 movie.

[reddevil312612]

arms remind me of singularity

anyways, beautiful work

[h4x0rax]

If Valve wont make episode 3 now why wont you make it before them?? :D

[thejazzman9475]

@h4x0rax haha, maybe I'll make a fake teaser trailer or something

[myPETsnailFRED]

@thejazzman9475 do it! your animations are amazing!

[greenpeacekiller52]

@thejazzman9475 go for it god, i mean mate

[Spyder638]

@thejazzman9475 That'd be interesting.

[TheRealBrianSellers]

@thejazzman9475 Dude do it, if it's good enough, Valve might use it :3

[CheifPaco]

@thejazzman9475 Lol make a fake teaser please!?

[iamZIIIM1]

@thejazzman9475 That would be funny.

[BairAOB]

@thejazzman9475 That would be a good idea XD

Valve would get mad though... they always do...

"copyright infringement" and all that crap...

XD

[Izayoiaki24]

@BairAOB What, copyright infringement? Valve is generally pretty friendly towards that sort of thing.

[dedust728]

@thejazzman9475

DEFINATELY! Do a fake teaser!

[Animaumbra]

I'm sure this has been asked, but what program do you use to make these, and how long have you been using it?

[thejazzman9475]

@Animaumbra 3ds max, using it since march last year.

[Puflwiz1]

@thejazzman9475 Wow 3ds is a hard program to use. I am taking classes for that though but its still really hard. But hey what do i know? im only 16

[franzsebas2009]

OMG YUORE THE CHOOSEN ONE TO MAKE HL2 THE MOVIE! :D

[TheSuperHeroBoy]
