Quake3World

Hey everyone,

I've been working the past year on a project called "Arenas: The Episodes". It's a episodic animated series that brings together the world of Quake III Arena and Doom.

We went live with the Youtube Channel in HD today and the first 4 Episodes are available. Episode 5 will be this month and Episode 6 will be online by July. Pleaes leave us
some feedback! I've been doing Quake Fan Cinema since 1998 and this new project is my baby! Hope you enjoy!


*edit*

Updating this post from 2008. Glad you all are still around and we are too. Enjoy!

Not too bad, script needs some work.

Will there be a future episode where Crash shows her hooters?

These are actually kinda cool. Nice work dude.

shit, that trailer actually looks cool.
i liked the way the YA was picked up

k after seeing some of it, you really really really want to cut down in the slomo.
makes the whole thing look a lot cheaper and pretty much like an extended trailer.

still nice work, i like the dynamic feel the maps get cause of the destructables.

I remember Quad God

aye, less slomo - up the pace overall and get a new writer, someone with english as their first language (e.g. the intro sounds like the trailer guy reading out a lolcats caption). the maps, models and animation are really impressive, fantastic stuff!

really enjoyed those.
Very much dig the higher detail Quake 3 settings, and how you mix different aspects of each arena in the fights.makes me wanna jump online and kick some ass! Good stuff

Very nice. Liked the mid-air collision on DM17 and the jump pad animation.

I saw some earlier work for this (posted in Doom3World? can't recall).

I'm interested in the overall process used to make these, are they captured from within a game engine with post processing or was it entirely rendered? And how did you convert all the assets (textures/models/maps)?

thanks for the comments, guys. your suggestions mean a lot since we're still churning out the next episodes.

To Obsidian, the textures for the majority of the levels were remade (some textures used from the Q3 pk4)

The models were redone. (Doom is the only model we didn't create - of course from Doom3) but we revised the texture somewhat. The maps were re-modelled from scratch. We have a great team!

The project itself is all 3DSMax. None of it is done in-game, and then some post-effects.

Glad you all like!

btw, make sure you subscribe so you'll be alerted when the next episodes go up.

What about Crashes hooters?!

noted for the Bitterman\Crash Love Scene

They're really good. Props for putting the time in. I liked what you did at the beginning of the DM17 one with the lights. I'll be interested to see how you pull off some TDM and CTF matches, see how Doom copes with working with people he's had grudge matches with etc.

You could do the downfall of Orbb.

I don't personally know Orb's story. Can you fill me in?

he was one of the spectator cameras forged from the bodies of the fallen. he 'broke free' and decided to fight along himself.

dear me

These videos are ripe for redubbing.

Hmmmm

needs something resembling a plot line to be interesting; doom guy needs a bit of an overhaul since his plastic "action figure" appearance looks rather out of place next to a good looking sarge; also you really need to work on eyes.
but all said, its pretty good for no-budget fan fiction.

Sick videos lol, but as everyone else has stated, voice acting needs work, still, I watched them all, pretty entertaining, thanks for making these

Hey Guys, I released Episode 5. Enjoy!
