haknslash 763 Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) So I've been trying to come up with a new intro for my vids. I didn't want to re-use arneoog's popular "DayZ intro" since everyone seems to be using it these days. Not that it's a bad thing, I just like to be different :D. Anyways what do you guys think of what I've made so far? I tried to go for a rustic Chernarus backcountry look. There will probably be different variations but this is the 1st version...

Survivor_Ted 269 Posted May 12, 2014 Looking good! Maybe for the future you could add a ruined city in the background? Like an overgrown, ruined Chernogorsk. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haknslash 763 Posted May 12, 2014 Thanks guys! Yea I have a few ideas I want to do for using one with a building environment. I want to do a dilapidated, crumbling building with volumetric fog, dust and particle effects. I have some ideas I just need to put it together one day lol. Thanks again guys, beans for you!

tommy290 941 Posted May 12, 2014 I don't like the font, but the concept is cool. Part of the problem is the specific DayZ font/logo has been entrenched into my mind, so seeing something else is odd. Even without that, though, the y going into an underline just looks silly to me. Adding a desolate, crumbling city in the background would be pretty sweet. I agree with that idea. :) Really good work. About the perfect length for an intro too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haknslash 763 Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) Yea I don't like the line under the "Y" either but I had to do something because the Y looked more like a "V" with the overgrown grass and it really looked weird like "DavZ" :D. I guess if my real name was Dave I would be golden heh!! I also didn't want the text floating in air so that's my easiest way to solve the issue. I know what you're saying about the DayZ font being engrained in your brain. It's what I kept fighting against when using a font as I kept wanting to go towards a more DayZ "traditional' font, if there ever was such a thing lol. I suppose I could find a different font out there but glad you like the concept and thanks for the CC! Edited May 12, 2014 by haknslash Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n1kko 326 Posted May 12, 2014 Just my two cents: At 0:09 when the camera stops moving, it looks a bit awkward. May I suggest haviong the camera always moving, as if someone is holding it? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haknslash 763 Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) Right after 0:09 is where my transition will typically go from intro to gameplay video so you likely won't have the same feeling of it sitting there for so long ;). I always like to keep a few seconds of the last frame still to give me some 'wiggle room' when it comes time to editing the final video with transitions and such. I was going to go all out and have the grass "lay over" as my camera moves through but this causes a TON of computational resources to simulate as each blade or stem would physially interact with each other but thus drives my final render time into the multiple days area!! I have a different method I'm going to try for the grass which should free up some reasources and add to the atmosphere. We'll see how it goes on version 2 :) Edited May 12, 2014 by haknslash Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SGT. Kalme 106 Posted May 13, 2014 Typo doesn't look so good. Idea is nice though. If you made the DayZ look more authentic, choose better font then it would be really cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
