New Day - Fallout Equestria [SFM]

Been reading the fic, so made a pic and than this. Only took half a Saturday (map and all). Ended up being a "see what cool effects you can make with lighting" kind of video. Picture version: http://argodaemon.deviantart.com/art/A-New-Day-SFM-397511410 The Fic: http://www.fimfiction.net/story/119190/fallout-equestria ---FAQ--- --What programs did you use? Animating was done in Source FilmMaker (SFM). Editing was done in After Effects for lens flare and final compilation. --Music/Audio?!?! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLAekg3iwxc Sigh is Alex from HalfLife2 Electric sounds are from HalfLife 2 --Who are the ponies? LilPip and Homage from Fallout: Equestria. --What map is that? Map is custom-made in Hammer, but basically consists of just models found in various Source games and around the web. Hammer was mainly used for making a box and floor. :3 --How did you get the lighting effects? There are a total of 10 lights in the scene. 1 was used as a far off light to give the sun beams and general ground lighting. 1 was placed by the previous, but given a short range and heavy volumetrics (created a ball of light, effectively creating the sun), 1 was used for extra rim lighting on Pip, 1 was used that follows the sun and gives a higher bloom to the wall in front of it, 1 is in the building pointing towards the gun to give a slight ambient shadow, and the other 5 are placed around the rim of the opening for effect. --How did you get the NukaCola sign to flicker? I created a texture of just the NukaCola sign and applied it to the light (Set Gobo Texture). Matched it up with the sign and flickered the intensity. Just using a light to do this will have a horrible effect (though there is a light used to give a little extra glow along with the textured light). --Where did you get the models/cycles?

Wouldn't have fit the mood and most were too long. --Why is there sun? Didn't the pegasus close up the sky? Yes, but the sun is pretty. :P --- My Twitter! https://twitter.com/argodaemon My DeviantArt! http://argodaemon.deviantart.com/ Equestria Daily http://www.equestriadaily.com/2013/09/sfm-fallout-equestria-new-day.html
