Halo 3 Starry Starry Night Trailer!

[Chris101b]

I was not sure how to put this video on here, so you will have to watch it on Youtube. This took me 3 weeks to make. Please give it a good rating and leave a comment. Tell me what you think. I would like to know what others think about it. I put in a lot of hard work into this and I think it payed off. One of the professors at UAB thought it was so good that he wants me to come to UAB when I get out of high school to learn programming. There was an Alice Film Festival held there and one of the creators of Alice was there too. She also thought my video was good. So please watch it and enjoy.

All right, the file can be downloaded below.

Very nice work :) - I really think Alice's capabilities for this sort of thing tend to be underrated.

You could zip the file and post it here, but I think going to YouTube is by far the better route (be sure to include Alice as a key word for search). They are set up to handle many videos (which takes an incredible amount of server memeory), have a good key word search capability (good enough that a link to another Alice video came up automatically) and an established audience.

Do be sure to post the link to the video on this forum. :)

Nearly everyone who is at all interested can now view videos on YouTube (although sometimes with fairly poor video quality). With any other route you often have CODEC incompatibility problems. If you are worried about the quality issue - treat the YouTube posting as a preview and put in a link to a high resolution version.

One question - how did you capture the video from Alice?

[Chris101b]

When I went to UAB (University of Alabama at Birmingham) for an Alice Film Festival, I talked to Dr. Gray, the computer professor there. He showed my video at the festival and put everyone's videos on the UAB website. He had to use Camtasia to capture it. He has a super fast computer, so it did not slow down the frame rate much.

I started

I watched

I liked...

Good Job!

P.S I was away for a while but now I'm back:D

Amazing! What Object is the main character robot thing? I wanted to use it but I can't find it...

[DrJim]

Chris101b would have to answer that question for sure - it may be something he made. However you can get close with the Knight - hide some armor parts, eliminate the texture and play with the color parameters (including the "seldom used" ones).

(Zipped folder contains an .a2c version of the example shown in the photo.)

[islandfever]

Thanks, I think I'll use it! :D

[DrJim]

If you do, try experimenting with the lower body armor and with the color characterististics of separate body parts. (I didn't do either.) It will probably give you a better robot and also increase your familarity with the object and sub-object hierarchy that Alice does support.

...You could zip the file and post it here...

How do you zip the file?

[DrJim]

On a Windows PC, just click on the file and "Send to"/"Compressed (zipped) folder." Not sure how you do it on a Mac - but it should be something similar.

Yeah, I have a Window PC

I used the night to create the character. I made it so that his armor had a green tinge to it. Everything I used in the trailer, is made using pre existing objects from the alice gallery. I just manipulated it to look like other things. The gun, for instance, is the "Bad Guy Robot" I morphed him into a gun and changed the color of his armor. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask me.

[DrJim]

Very clever. :) I attached my quick try at the same thing - but recommend anyone interested actually look at the video itself.

[Darkpivot]

dr.grey is nice. :) I just came back from day two of the class.

[sparkscarz]

i could get a copy of that world?

[("Robby")]

Nice, must have taken like 3 weeks! (LOL)
BTW are you gona make a full version of the game?

[Chris101b]

A full version of what game? Are you talking about Infiltration 2? I just started working on the beta again and should be pumping out updates soon.

[("Robby")]

No I meen the trailer but a full version of the game instead of just the trailer.

[Chris101b]

I don't think that that would even be possible to do in alice. Just to make sure though, you're asking if I am going to make a copy of halo 3 in alice. If this is your question, no. But I am working on a FPS right now that I think will turn out pretty good.

[Chris101b]

It is a First Person Shooter.
