I wish you luck with the project Endoperez Hopefully more people will get inspired by my measle attempt and make better trailers

I could already try doing a 3d book animation like that. I don't think I would be able to make it look quite as good, but I don't think it's that difficult. It could be that the "looks good" part is the one most difficult to learn, though...

It can be hard to say what is and isn't difficult, though. The effects are especially hard to judge. 3D models don't do themselves, but effects can be deceptively easy. We learned to fire hundreds of arrows (affected by wind and gravity, to make them stick to whatever they hit, and do that little twitching afterwards) - in two hours.

Just because you'd like to see better trailers doesn't mean you should leave your own trailer measle. The higher standard you set for others, the better stuff others will try to make.

With some research you might find public domain 3d images already available which might help decide which nations to use. Undead? Cthulhu? Maybe some Narnia images for Pangaea? Angels for Caelum? Surely it wouldnt be hard to find some for nations like Ulm and Marignon that might need some slight color changes.

Of course all your own work would be great also.

Only suggestion is 3+ minutes is a long time on the internet for someone to watch a video. Might want to trim it to half that.

Nice

If you're looking for inspiration to make another unofficial trailer you can check mine I made for my upcomming mod (HD version recommended); http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thAJJn8QTrg

Pretty cool trailer man! A bit too much battle-footage but still got me hyped for the mod
