Dead Island ( Techland ) focuses on an island where for some reason the vast majority of people suffer from "zombinismo" I do not want to have more, because the motive is not to tell the story or spoil finally dies! nah you think! , Just enough to have the idea. While there is nothing new to the issue is addressed quite well with the gameplay and does a very good game, or put another way, is a completely valid justification for quench our thirst for blood! a violent game as any of zombies.

Warning: The following images contain excessive violence, if you are a minor please stop reading from already thank you very much!

The first thing I will mention and they will see from the pictures and videos, is the graphic quality is really impressive. The atmosphere and climate that does is tremendous, thanks to the many details that enrich and they can easily go unnoticed. Reminds me of the series "Resident Evil", but obviously this 3D real-time post!

Screens in HD:

Dead_Island_37

Dead_Island_31

Before playing it puts a nylon on the desktop to not stain anything, I mean, the amount of blood going to distill the monitor!

Take this video for you showing the gameplay which titrate "Walking fiorito" "Run forest run!"

You can see the immensity of the city map "moresby" the Resort (beach Banoi) and the Jungle

On the gameplay is a FPS (First Person Shooter) classic, something interesting is that the maps are huge and you got available in some parts of vehicles to move more easily map. Also you got a "teleportation" between centers of the maps.

Under my personal opinion I would say has the best of many games, is an ATM / Fallout 3 / MAFIA even some Crysis and Left 4 dead obviously (L4D) with RPG elements.

Points:

Graphic quality

All this pretty well balanced. If you do all the side missions is endless, yet these missions manages to be entertaining, for the variety of the same and also the burden of responsibility, not every day you wake up as a sort of involuntary combat leader.

The sound is not far behind, the 3D effect can be seen very well, you learn very quickly if you are near a thief zombie and you hear from where but when did you put you back are screaming or whatever they do.

The actions of the characters and their gestures are also very good.

The most interesting game is the multiplayer co-op missions are basically the same, but you can make up to 4 friends :) , Among other ways of course.

My machine is an Intel i5 750 (2.66), 8 GB Ram, Video: Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr II (1GB ram), on a monitor is giving me a1920x1200 DE24 100 to 150 fps. Yet in FULL (doing great!)

By killing you can point to body parts and these are the suffering of your ailments, beams ball achieved is amazing how well this effect. The zombies' heads "are many and kills everyone in a particular way, almost all with the fire reaches, but you always have a Molotov on hand, so you have to get close to some as the giants and start with the arms or legs before the head (to mate with the big bottles, or explosions).

I player compulsive other types of games, fps more military (battlefield slime ), But the truth is that this got me much more than "left 4 dead", I decided to try it ... and end up doing a review! : P

As I said before, has components of role, as skills and negotiations to acquire or merge things according to the level you have. You've got 4 characters to choose from which have different profiles (And if not that?) if you like throwing shots or if you like crush or impact weapons simply cut heads you have your character, or you got something for everyone visteh!

Tutorial: Circles / lists on Facebook!

No comments July 14th, 2011 No comments

This is the version 2, Improved Guide facebook final permits .

Permissions facebook:

All facebook users should know such as permits, but straw hot dogs, lazy, or simply because it can not be understood as given, we leave them as is, assuming that what you say Mark Zuckerberg ( which have longer facebook owner) is OK. Well it is not so! basically most of our content is public!, This guide made me think a bit long but worth reading at least once concientizarte at first may sound abstract, but then with examples is to understand the idea (I hope) , so a little spice to make it easy and fun to read.

As proposed by facebook to manage the issue of permits (although it is quite configurable) I think that not enough or not well defined and often confusing, this guide aims to show you can configure to where and how efficiently (can seem farfetched and it is but it is effective).

On the other hand it is noteworthy that with google google + and its conception of "circles" is basically the same thing but much more exposed and oriented, facebook never presented that way despite being very similar concepts.

Definitions: (are what I will use for this guide)

  • Friends: More than friends are contacts, and are "persons" to which we have as the direct contact throughout this guide will appoints several times, always say imagine quotes.
  • Friends lists: google + circles? Within the group can optionally facebook friends for something we want, typically to group friends by categories: school, laburo, etc..
  • Networks: Networks are generally at first were universities, provinces and countries today are entities such as companies, etc.. Basically there are groups of people (mostly unknown) to belong to this group
  • Permissions: They are just that, you give permission to read and write access to your content networks, people and / or groups.
  • Content / Post: Wall, reviews, photos, notes, links, etc, all that we have provided free to facebook to share with our contacts.

Typical scenarios:

We grouped the friends in "college" and "work" obviously some classmates are more friendly than others and undesirable , And we want anyone to write on the wall at least a couple of monkeys for X reasons, it is with the group "work" quick fix: block some people level permissions, quick fix +: delete as a contact.

  • We are a celebrity and want raise a little ego have many many friends, the problem is that anyone can write on the wall of this character can therefore be used as advertising space to advertise or just to fuck me / us.
  • We "hunt" in facebook, shooting at a crossroads minita which fell one in your tentacles, but it does not look like much to the picture of your avatar (commentary aside, the pictures of the avatars are usually the best photo of the person, some incredibly achieved a photo "good", after thousands of attempts to clear ... learn it once!) but lo! is what you get decided to give it a try, you should at least be nice, after a few grogs one thing led to another and we know how the story ends. Now the thing this girl can potentially talk about your sizes virtues in your own wall, in many cases you will not want to do, but neither delete your contacts can serve as a backup You never know (obviously also applies to the opposite sex).
  • For the antisocial (the question is that hell is on facebook, but Oh well) and just want some friends do not have access to anything and others access to anything in particular and others (one or two at the most friends) have access to everything.

There are clearly many more ...

Note: I must say that this guide is something that occurred to me to implement to me, although I'm sure I'm the one who "saw" in this way, and is inspired by the group management and permissions nodal Unix and other systems is Rarely did not promote facebook as does google +, even google shows it as one of the most important features.

Circles Lists:

What I propose is to separate two concepts using the lists of friends:

  • Categorized lists: Work, studies, etc.
  • Lists by type of permit: Types of access to your information (Setting permissions applied to lists, not people).

These two concepts operated out of facebook friends lists serve different "functions" is to define a category to which the friend part and the other will say you can do in your profile.

To give me some things, I gave permission number (level) and name, that shows where all the lists appear ordered as I want and do not appear in between, by this time wanted to see, knowing that first appear permits and then lists.

As an example I show my lists:

facebook listas

(To create a list you can do it from various places, for example from "Account", "Edit Friends" on the left "Friends" top button "Create New List")

're Obviously free to list the amount you feel is necessary, these are my own personal and they can serve as a basis or example.

Thus we have separated the types of relationships with friends, and permissions.

In my case, create four permission settings, 0-readonly: can only see my content, can not comment or write anything, is public data, 1-Limited: Same as 0 but can comment and see some basic personal information , 2-Normal: You have permission to practically everything, and as additional 3-Private: You can see very personal things, photos too drunk family photos children nephews, etc.. The latter can be combined with "2-normal" and "1-readonly", we'll see that it is.

And finally there is a permission that is implicit, and is not to be associated list, without which no permissions to anything, basically looks the same as if I had you as a friend, or even less.

The idea is to assign each of your friends at least two lists, one is the category (you probably already have this done, however not essential here) and the other is the permissions (this whether to assign, for each), can be hard I know, but can save you headaches in the future and you will gain peace of mind. you do not get me posteen maintenance fee for the baby!

The idea goes like this:

permisos en facebook

PERMITS / PRIVACY

From "Account", "Privacy Settings" we agree to everything related to permissions. (So ​​I have it and it can serve as base):

"Customize your privacy settings"

To set permissions for all facebook is virtually the same way, from a screen like this (lock):

facebook permisos 1

By clicking on the triangle unfold lock options, each option is not necessary to describe it ("just me" is hidden to everyone), it is understood, but is also the option to "customize" click " edit ", and here's the magic!:

facebook permisos 2

By selecting "real people" we enable a box, here we enter the names of the persons to whom we want to give access to that content (you too will the networks you are with a check to give permission), you should sign in person by person to whom you give access, that would be extremely tedious and difficult to maintain, but also finally come to the rescue may use the lists!, then we define only the lists, which involves people who are on these lists. What I recommend is to fill in a permissive, or grant access only to such lists therefore would not be necessary to deny access to others, and all the rest that is not in the selected lists would not have access (somewhat complicated to explain here , re-read several times and repetilo aloud)

"Preview Profile"

To confirm that what we are doing this right at will, within each defining permissions have the option to "Preview Profile" (I recommend having another browser tab), from here we see at first instance and is our public profile, then we can see how we see this or that person, so this is only necessary to write his name in the box above. It is very important that as you play with the permissions settings go hand in hand looking like you "are" seeing.

I recommend having several browser tabs (chrome, firefox, ie, etc) with different types of permits (person), ie a person with no list, one with 1-readonly list, one with 2-Normal.

This is the screen:

facebook permisos 3

This is a brief review if I do not end up with much more detail of writing this post, I recommend you to explore.

  • Connect on facebook:

Find you on Facebook: If you want to be found with the search facebook, Sending friend requests: Who can you ask for friendship, Mailing, View your list of friends do not think it's good that everyone can see who you got on facebook, I put it to 2-Normal, View your training and employment: I put in 2-Normal and 1-Limited, Check your current city and home, check your preferences, activities and other connections: "All"

  • Share on Facebook:

From this panel you can select default permissions and shows you how a table would be:

To apply these permissions to propose necessarily have to be customized, that is where the "juicy" all this mess this setting.

Recently added an interesting option:

"Allow friends of people tagged in my photos and publications to see." Do not have to explain much

Within customize settings are: (I mention only some)

  • My publications: it becomes the wall comments, photos, etc, these permits are predetermined, which means that at the time of publishing can be changed from the lock icon.
  • "Edit the privacy settings of photo albums and videos today." Is a link to the configuration of the albums, the permission settings of the photos is at the album, not individual photo.

(This is where the permission comes in "3-private" where some of your albums children nephews, drunkenness family, I put this permit and only very few contacts true friends have access.)

  • Photos and videos that you have been tagged, recommendation: no way to tell you not labeled, but what if you can do is say who can see where you are content labeling.
  • "Permission to comment on your posts," is just that, for some reason is tied to "You can see the posts of friends in the wall" if it is not active, can not comment ... no, it is rare.
  • My friends can post on my wall: It's just an option of whether or not, in the case of "if" was enabled the next point.
  • "They can see the posts of friends in the wall" in my case, only the "2-Normal", this enables to view and comment

With all this practically have our account set up correctly in terms of permits, it is not necessary to apply permissions per person, simply add a person to a predefined list of permissions already.

  • Applications and websites:

For good measure in this post, I recommend reviewing "Applications and Websites."

In this section you can configure the permissions of the applications, I strongly recommend to remove applications that do not use (edit settings button and then on the X), they have permission to read content you even with no use it.

In "Information accessible through your friends" is just that, check it

Public search is that, to enable you to search engines like Google find.

Finally finished, I did a lot longer to write than I thought I wanted to be teaching in order to understand why put your own configuration as an example, I hope I have achieved.

Ok ok, may have exaggerated the title :)

If you liked this article and think it is useful to spread, thanks

NOTES:

  • Each time you add friends to remember to apply the ready! but not be able to see any of your content!
  • In the chat you are the lists, you can hide them.
  • The only downside I see to this approach is the "maintenance" when a person goes to "level" of friendship, is manual in this case the matter.
  • This also applies to applications that have pages and profiles / tabs
  • The issue of having a 3-Private, is that I can have people with permission 1 and 3, and others with 2 and 3.
  • In networks (as in the example "UTN"), there are strangers, would not leave for almost nothing.
  • Network as NTU is only by way of example, consider not there.
  • Note that it denied the permissions takes precedence over the access, that is if a person is in two groups, one block, this person will be blocked.
  • If you plan to apply this, believe that it is advisable to create lists of permissions and add one by one for each list, if ever you applied lists of any kind, you got the option to "add multiple" and select those people.
  • Of course with this sent me on my settings in jail and you know how I have you set up, but I think it's good that facebook does not endorse at all and is good to know. That is, google it touted as a great feature, the difference is that g + is directional, while in facebook is bidirectional.
  • The data show in the pictures are drawn, not real.

Enjoy!

Permit definitive guide on facebook

New version of this report: tutorial circles / lists facebook , this is old.

All facebook users should know such as permits, but straw hot dogs, lazy, or simply because it can not be understood as given, we leave them as is, assuming that what you say Mark Zuckerberg ( which have longer facebook owner) is OK. Well it is not so! basically most of our content is public!, This guide made me think a bit long but worth reading at least once concientizarte at first may sound abstract, but then with examples is to understand the idea, so a little spice to make it easy and enjoyable to read :)

Alas that is what you decide to give it a try, you should at least be nice, after a few grogs one thing led to another and we know how the story ends. virtudes en tu propio wall, en muchos casos no vas a querer que lo haga, pero tampoco la eliminas de tus contactos puede servir de backup , uno nunca sabe (obviamente tambien se aplica a mujeres). Now the thing this girl can potentially talk about your virtues sizes in your own wall, in many cases you will not want to do, but neither will delete your contacts can serve as a backup, you never know (obviously also applies to women .)
  • For the antisocial (the question is that hell is on facebook, but Oh well) and just want some friends do not have access to anything and others access to anything in particular and others (one or two friends) have access to everything.

There are clearly many more ...

Note: I must say that this guide is something I came up to me to implement and is inspired by the group management and permissions nodal Unix and other systems.

LISTS:

What I propose is to separate two concepts using the lists of friends:

  • Categorized lists: Work, studies, etc.
  • Lists by type of permit: Types of access to your information (Setting permissions applied to lists, not people).

These two concepts operated out of facebook friends lists serve different "functions" is to define a category to which the friend part and the other will say you can do in your profile.

To give me some things, I gave permission number (level) and name, that shows where all the lists appear ordered as I want and do not appear in between, by this time wanted to see, knowing that first appear permits and then lists.

As an example I show my lists:

(To create a list you can do it from various locations or from "Account", "Edit Friends" tab on the left "Friends" top button "Create New List")

're Obviously free to list the amount you feel is necessary, these are truly personal and they can serve as a base.

Thus we have separated the types of relationships with friends, and permissions.
In my case, create four permission settings, 0-AccessDenied: only looks exactly the same as the public profile, 1-ReadOnly: can only see content, can not comment or write anything, 2-Limited: Same as 1 but can comment, 3-FreeForAll: You have permission to everything.

The idea is to assign each of your friends at least two lists, one is the category (you probably already have this done, however not essential here) and the other is the permissions (this whether to assign, for each), can be hard I know, but can save you headaches in the future.

After assigning the lists with your friends should stay like this:

PERMITS / PRIVACY

From "Profile Information" is where we control most of the actions of your friends to you, see how it is configured.
From "Contact information" basically control the tab "Information" (which you can also handle some permissions from the flap) and applies the same way that "infromacion profile."

Go to "Profile Information":
Almost every section has the same options (except "Photo Albums" that is configured the same way but at the album)

By clicking on the triangle unfold options, each option means, but is also the option to "customize", click on edit

And here's the magic:

From here configure who can take timely action on each section of information, then we can decide at that person can do, but it would be very difficult to do friend by friend, and here finally come into play lists of permits, instead of assigning friends assign lists (like the example above), basically what we do is say who can access content but friends who are on these lists can not access.

For each section we define that list of friends can not access this section.

Example: Who can post to my Wall / wall (from "Publications of friends", customize):

We define that lists can not write on the wall, in my case 0, 1 and 2

To confirm that what we are doing this well to our liking, we have the option to view the public profile, and as you see certain friend, click on the "My Profile" (top right), the first thing we see is public, then you got a text area for the name of a friend, and look like this go to your profile, it is important that as you play with the permissions settings go hand in hand seeing as you are " "seeing.

Note that it denied the permissions takes precedence over the access, that is if a person is in two groups, one block, this person will be blocked.

Esta configuración es así por cada sección, si describo cada sección esto no terminaría mas, mas o menos se entienden que son, si llegaste a leer hasta acá, ya entendes el mecanismo y esto se aplica a todos los permisos, por lo tanto lo podes hacer solito :)

Finalmente terminamos, se me hizo mucho más largo de lo que creía, quería ser didáctico para que se entienda, espero haberlo logrado.

Ok ok, puede que haya exagerado con el titulo :)

Si te gusto este articulo y crees que es útil, difundilo, se agradece :)

NOTAS:

  • Cada vez que agreguemos amigos recordar aplicarle las listas!
  • En el chat te aparecen las listas, podes ocultarlas.
  • Lo de la red de UTN es solo a modo de ejemplo, no estudie allí.
  • No encontré la manera de bloquear el tagueo (etiquetas), creo que es una falencia, por esto cree este grupo para reclamarlo , si estás de acuerdo, agrégate ;)
  • La única contra que veo a esta metodología, es el “mantenimiento”, cuando una persona sube de “nivel” de amistad, es manual en este caso el asunto.
  • Esto también aplica a páginas ya aplicaciones que tengan perfiles/tabs

Constructed a miniature UFO flying!

7 comments July 11th, 2010 7 comments

El cortometraje sobre un ovni en buenos aires lo voy a seguir haciendo, pero hasta que no tenga bien definida la historia que planeo contar, no voy a avanzar. I decided to aim my guns to practice with all the digital tools for maximum realism possible in VFX that I got ...

To tell the story in a way that is understandable and has a good dramatic structure, and thus make the viewer understand it easily, I decided to make a 3-month course on audiovisual production script and Maestro Jorge and Pablo Cullel (highly recommended). The truth is that every time I more interested in this field that fosters creativity.

To test lighting, materials and others, made a flying saucer WTF? Cold porcelain and metallic paint with acrylic paint, and whispered:

mini-ovni

UFO mini cold porcelain

While I was playing my girls played with the dish I came to give life, sisi, the mini-UFO had just created, I thought it would be fun to do and the story that could have could be very funny, I got to work and I wrote a "script" shortie well, this is what came out:

Yes, a pity the actor of cardboard, which was repeated 25 times to finish :-/, was 4 am when it was recorded, would not leave for tomorrow, and had no other player device nearby.

So you saw my machine as I did:

screenshot mini-ovni

(Click to enlarge) working with two monitors: the first you can see the post and the 3D UFO while ecualizaba colors.

Technical data:

Camera: Sony HDR-XR200V
Recording: Two days, 4 to 6 am each day.
Total Number of pictures: 50
Cortes en el plano final : 2
Cantidad de archivos : 11511 (cada secuencia se pasa a TGA)
Total weight of the archives: 11,707 MB (about 12 Gigs)
Utilize or Software: Photoshop Boujou + 3ds max + EDIUS + + Vegas + After effects (among others)
Tiempo aproximado de desarrollo : 50 horas (incluyendo aprendizaje para usar algunas herramientas)
Drinks: 3 sodas, 6 beers (to kill the coffee).
Baño : 11 veces.

Well, I hope you liked it as much as I do, despite the time it takes and the artistic that suffering was a great experience.

Walkthrough: Customizing youtube channel

May 24th, 2010 16 comments

As some know, I like to customize everything!, The weather gave way (try) to my home drawing www.crystian.net , now I came to do the same with twitter and youtube. I started youtube to see if I could do something, and if you can elaborate half certainly did intentionally for anyone (not just the partners) can change the look of the channel.

Básicamente es poner una imagen de fondo, y luego poner los elementos visuales de html (bordes, etc) transparentes :)

So I'm channel:

http://www.youtube.com/crystian77

canal crystian77 youtube personalizado customize

An important clarification is that you can not change the "structure" This is usually applied as a skin . Mas que una modificación, eso no quita que puedas hacer algo interesante, simplemente tenes que ser más creativo.

What he proposes is youtube customize colors, fonts, with preset themes, but we also have an advanced mode in which we can customize (customize in Spanglish) colors and also add a background image as a repetitive, mosaic or no repeat ( in this mode focuses the image to the channel), and also has a rather interesting choice of transparency, which we will exploit. Let's start:

ESTRUCTURA:

Lo primero es definir los paneles y los módulos que va a tener el canal

estructura modulos

Luego ubica y ordenalo como quieras (usando las flechitas) en los paneles moviles.

In my case I organized as follows:

estructura canal crystian77 youtube customize

Ahora, necesitamos extraer el esqueleto de esta estructura para comenzar a diseñar, para esto creamos un nuevo tema desplegamos “temas y colores” luego “nuevo tema”, le ponemos un nombre como “maqueta” y modificamos los colores para resaltar la estructura del sitio y que sepamos puntualmente que estamos viendo, por ejemplo asi:

youtube estructura

We can clearly see the structure itself is graphically ugly but think that is the skeleton, lacks the "skin" that we will build.

Next step, full screenshot of the entire channel and take you to photoshop (or your favorite image editor)

Desde firefox podes usar fireshot o algún plugin similar, si no, con alt+print screen (es la primer tecla de esas tres teclas que jamás usaste llenas de polvo que están arriba del teclado numérico a la izquierda)

Now in your image editor focused short the image leaving the structure, paying close attention to this point, if you go up and then not centered you should only add more pixels to one side to center.

ART:

Creas una capa nueva y luego en esta, “pintas” encima tu nuevo skin, por ejemplo en este caso vamos a simular dibujo a mano alzada. Claro está que en este punto uno puede hacerlo como quiera (sería interesante uno con metales), en este punto libera tu creatividad al máximo!

Explicare como hice el mío. Básicamente pinte con un pincel similar al trazo de una birome, haciendo las imperfecciones del trazo a mano para que quede más realista.

Es una buena práctica una vez que tengas la estructura mínima la subas para ver cómo queda, ajustar y resolver cualquier problema antes de continuar.

Luego le puse un fondo de papel tipo periódico, debajo y encima de este agregue cosas que están en mi escritorio actualmente, “links” a proyectos personales, cosas que me gustan, o incluso me definen, simplemente para mantener mi estilo y ser coherente conmigo a veces lo soy

Para dar apariencia “real”, casi todo tiene sombra, eso le da profundidad a la imagen y por ende queda más realista. Some things, like notes and texts were scanned.

Once you have left over something like this:

maqueta youtube estructura final crystian77

Vamos a youtube y creamos un nuevo tema, configuramos los colores de acuerdo al estilo que le dimos, y lo importante, ponemos transparente a la estructura:

And with this we have our custom channel, but do not change the basic structure, changing the way we show our channel.

TAMAÑO MAXIMO:

For the background image seems to have a maximum upload size in resolution, but if the "weight" must not exceed the 256k, as the resolution size is usually large, it is necessary to compress in exchange for sacrificing quality using jpg format, I am using more or less as 45% according to the "save for web & devices" in photoshop.

.

If you liked this post, retwitealo, pass it to your friends, and give it to your mom on her birthday to improve channel : P , je posta, si te gusto reenvíalo ;)

COD4: Map-Hotel nations-(current and emerald downtown Argentina)

April 2nd, 2010 4 comments

Acabo de terminar la segunda versión de este mapa, debo decir que aprendí a usar el editor de mapas (Radiant) a la par mientras lo desarrollaba, por ende se que se puede mejorar y mucho, pero como estoy muy mal de tiempos lamentablemente, decido continuarlo “así como esta”, por ahora el modo de juego que soporta es Free-for-all y Team Deathmatch, luego hare Domination y Sabotaje (y quizás HQ) para las próximas versiones.

El tiempo invertido fue 13 horas en total (teniendo en cuenta que tengo conocimientos previos en desarrollo de mapas para el motor Source (half-life2/Counter Strike source))

Screenshoots:

Gracias a “one” http://advancedwartutorials.blogspot.com/ , pude aprender a desarrollar mapas para radiant, cubre todos los aspectos de cómo armar desde cero un mapa para COD4, si te interesa esto, indudablemente pasate por este blog.

Por que este hotel? Porque ahí trabajo, allí se encuentran las oficinas de Delapalo y era un interesante y divertido desafio :)

Bajar desde acá:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HENOCKAV

Instalación:

En el Zip se encuentran las carpetas Mods y usermaps, descomprimir sobre la instalación de COD4 (“c:\Archivos de programa\Call of Duty 4 – Modern Warfare\”)

Entrar al juego en modo multiplayer, selecciona “Mods”, luego en la consola (pulsa el chirimbolo que esta ala izquierda del numero 1 para bajar la consola, escribí “/map mp_hotel”, si está todo bien comenzará a cargar el mapa, si no pasa nada, esta copiado mal el mapa.

Se aceptan opiniones, recomendaciones y críticas

Saludos y enjoy

Battlefield movie: “The hotel”

January 6th, 2010 No comments
Battlefield 2

Battlefield 2

Hace dos años o más, fui adicto jugador de battlefield 1942 y 2, me uní a un clan (Fenix) con el cual fuimos “campeones” de argentina en un campeonato auspiciado por un server y comunidad local, y gracias a esto nos hicieron una entrevista en TV por cable, en rock & pop TV. En ese tiempo comencé a ver gente que realizaba videos con este juego (famosos “ mine ” si los hay), a mí en lo personal me fascina hacer videos/cortos/películas, recuerdo precisa y gratamente el año .. 90… 91 o 92.., ok no tan precisa.. donde Disney lanzo un juego llamado Stund Island , uno de los primeros juegos en 3D en la época dorada del DOS (en ese momento no había nada en 3D y obviamente este era todo en 3d primitivo, sin texturas, ni sombra, ni nada, solo los objetos 3d en lowpoly pero servía, y esto estimulaba mucho la creatividad), el juego básicamente era de aviones y se trataba de realizar acrobacias filmarlas y exponerlas en un cine, todo esto dentro del mismo juego. Como ejemplo de filmación seria aterrizar un avión en un tren en movimiento, esta era la intro:

El juego tenía la opción de hacer postproducción (del cual aprendí mucho y supongo que de ahí viene mi gusto por esta área) y también tenia opción de hacer tus propios videos con cualquier argumento, sencillamente genial para esa época, hoy esta “ the movie ” que es similar en cuanto a concepto pero no es lo mismo.

Volviendo battlefield, unos cuantos juegos tienen opciones de guardar a video pero battlefield tiene una opción de guardar la partida, esto significa que guarda la posición y acciones de todo (coordenadas y estados técnicamente hablando) y se puede reproducir la partida desde cualquier angulo, esto da una tremenda libertad para hacer este tipo de cosas; Para comprobar esto realice un video llamado: “El francommander” un francotirador (sniper) y comandante (commander) todo en uno, básicamente jugué un juego normal mientras guardaba la partida (en modo offline o sea contra la maquina) y luego con un trabajito de post producción quedo asi:

Todo en una única toma, si lo hubiera planeado no habría manera que la escena haya quedado así, por ejemplo los tipejos que se quieren escapar de la artillería y justo les cae en la cabeza uno de los misiles, increíble.

(También para que otros puedan hacer cosas similares escribí un mini tutorial )

Como me gusto y mucho hacer esto, decidí ir mas allá, y hacer un corto real!

Escribí el argumento, dividí en escenas, modifique el mapa adecuando a los requerimientos de cada escena, por ejemplo le puse aviones a un mapa que no los tiene, infinidad de tanques y demás; Una vez que tuve todo digerido y listo comenzó el “rodaje”, primero la búsqueda de extras y personas que me quieran ayudar con la post que no es algo menor, una vez que estaban disponibles los extras comenzamos a rodar en un server propio cuando la escena requería que seamos pocos y luego en un server dedicado que me prestó la comunidad de netplay para cuando éramos muchos.

Para organizar todo me fue muy útil un spreadsheet de google y también para compartir el argumento como otros datos.

Llegamos a rodar todas las escenas requeridas, solo faltaría algún complemento pero en términos generales estaría todo filmado y en video, en mi disco todo el crudo está pesando 120 GIGAS! (y durmiendo …)

Lo que resta para terminarlo es postproducción, doblaje, audio y música (moco de pavo), así que aun falta bastante : ( es algo que en algún momento terminare indudablemente, el video final dudara unos 20′, quería que fuese menos, pero… :S

The project is 53%, invested 280 hours, assembling, developing and because learning.

Here are some test videos that I was doing:

Intro:

Actors rebels

Draft 1: matrix effect

Retrying a part of the flight, it looks cute :)

Final Draft: coordinated attack

And that serve delicious screenshots of the scenes:

Debo agradecer a mucha gente que hizo esto posible, y espero agradecerles con el video terminado, ojala encuentre tiempo para terminarlo.
