Warhammer 40k Dreadnought v2

** HD version available here: http://youtu.be/vPret-Z9Wg4

** 2011/08 - Brand new audio mix for this same animation now live on my website here: http://graysonchalmers.com/wp/posts/art/portfolio/dreadnaught/

I finally finished the update for this video. I added the cloth banner, better particle smoke, and hopefully a better composite.

And if your not a fan of the current sound mix head on over to my web site and you can see a brand new mix created by one of the audio ninjas here at SOE Chad Mossholder.

Big thanks to Chad and you can check out that new mix here: http://graysonchalmers.com/wp/posts/art/portfolio/dreadnaught/

I really hope you enjoy. Feedback is always welcome!

WHY you guys don't try to make a movie or something???

[graysonchalmers]

@colaantilla Who is this "you guys" you speak of? ;) It's just me on my own, and I work full time for a game studio. That doesn't leave too much time to make art at home. But if I ever win the lotto, I'll hire a team and make a 40k movie! :)

Was the terrain from real life? The first explosion hit the grass and nothing happened

[graysonchalmers]

@DamnedUsernameThing Yeah, the background s just a photo so there's no interaction with whats going on but I'm thinking about making a new version with a fully render 3d background so I could burn the grass and leave a hole in the dirt.

It shall belong to Chaos!

Except for the dampened sound of the assault cannon - That weak noise offends Slaanesh.

However, overall awesome animation!

[graysonchalmers]

@2ndCthulhu I have a cool surprise for everyone. My friend here at SOE did a new sound mix for this anim. I'd love to know what you guys think. It's the same animation but with new sound, you can check it out on my site, there is a link to the site in the video description above

Wow, I first saw this vid nearly five years ago and no one has topped it yet. AdamHKatona's came close, but this one is still the most photorealistic Dreadnaught animation I have ever seen. Good Work Sir.

Holy mother of awesomeness.

[Vargrinnblodh]

You and Warpgazer should collaborate on something. I'd watch the hell out of whatever came out of that.

[MuLLiNsFaKeS]
