Zero Hour - 3D mecha movie (preview)

The beginning of a 3D action movie created in 3DS Max. Created for a Media Technology BSc degree course. A high quality version can be downloaded at http://www.daveskilton.com under the 3D section.

As many people noticed, there are a load of references to Gundam and Ace Combat in this video. Call it a tribute of sorts.

In the end, White Glint, Nineball, Mobius 1, Antares 1, and several Gundam characters all showed up to kill them for ripping off their games

[InfinityRabbit]

Both mechs look like GMs...

Armored Core-style flight and movement...

Antares has a KARASAWA for some reason...

5-year war...

This is like some sort of amalgamation between Armored Core and Gundam.

This is fucking awesome man!! make more!! XD i wanna know what happens next

[namedonimpulse]

... Um. Ignoring everything else everyone already pointed out, why would refitted and repurposed giant robots, in a world where nuclear arms are said to exist, be ANYONE's trump card? I mean, granted, they're powerful and really cool, but they aren't ultimate weapons in what is apparently a real robot genre.

holy shit, someone bridged the gap between Gundams and armored cores.

why do i smell kimchi in this

THAT is some uninspired Mech design.

As others have mentioned, it looks Armored Core mod or something.

I would highly recommend and overhaul of: Plot (that or give us more in the teaser cuz right now it seems like a ripoff), movement (perhaps change his pose so its not so similar to AC) CHANGE THAT GUN!, and please have them firing at longer ranges. Designed to be fast moving or armed with those BIG OL arm cannons? Yeah. Long range fire fight.

Music was great though!

@InfinityRabbit which, might I add, could be a VERY good idea

[JovianJeff]

Loved it! The flying was breathtaking and the music very appropriate, great shots, I'd say camera shots, but I don't know the lingo in the CGI world for it. Wonderful job!

Excellent job Dude. Hopefully by now you have your own animated series. You certainly have the tallent. Go for it. I am currently building a giant killer robot, check out my vids.

12 years ago, this would have been really good, but it looks a bit static. Add a few more subtle animations to the mechs to give them a more realistic appearance.
