Homeworld - The Turanic Raiders - A CG Short

The Turanic Raiders were a race of space pirates and mercenaries known from their first attacks in the Turan sector.

This video is based off one of my favourite cutscenes from the PC game 'Homeworld' and features the original audio, however I decided to re-create the models, textures, etc and bought it up to date with todays visuals.
A comparison video will soon be uploaded onto my YouTube channel.

so I wasn't the only one who loved that scene so much that made my own version, good job, is that max job, I wanna see a tutorial , particularly on engine trails then!

[LeoTierney]

@Turanic1 Thanks for commenting! I must have forgotten to list the programs I used, they were Newtek Lightwave and Adobe After Effects. The engine trails aren't particularly complicated, it was just a stream of yellow hypervoxel clouds rendered out from Lightwave then duplicated, blurred, and levels adjusted in After Effects to create the inner core, middle, outer core, glows, etc. Cheers!

thats is fucking awesome!! if some1 would hire you to make models and recreate homeworld with such grapphics, i would surely even bought it one more time!!!

[BladeLigerV]

It's just imbarising when fans make something more bad ass then the producers

[ShadowGorrath]

Very nice work. This scene was already awesome, and you've made it much, much better.

Are you, by any chance, planning on remaking the Beast intro scene from Homeworld Cataclysm in the same way as you did this scene?

[jacob27jacob]

... wait, what? it's not a movie?

[r4du94]

O_O incredible skill. it's perfect!!! if you are planning to make more homeworld animations i would suggest the homeworld cataclysm beast intro (/watch?v=nDcELUCroDs here is the link)

and also the sierra logo intro :D (/watch?v=soB8LXeupT4 it's from half life 1 but it is the same as in hwc with slight sound differences)

I've just Shit my pants... I did the same thing when I first played that mission about 5-6 years ago.

Epic game is EPIC.

EPIC CG SHOW IS... well GOD LEVEL!!!

WOW, great work. hope you make some more homeworld stuff.

I wish this was a CG Long :(

[kimori676]

It'd be great if Relic/Sierra would remake both Homeworlds this way then they would be superb compared to the original versions. Also a remake of Homeworld Cataclysm in the same fashion as this vid.

They're attacking?! The Mothership is under attack!

@BladeLigerV well.... the game is 11 years old now and almost 12 lol

its more embarassing when they dont make remakes of the best games aka the originals

[darkdill]

@BladeLigerV Amen to that. But then again it shows how much dedication some fans have to a series, and said productions can make for a really good resume.
