Battle of the Bands - EQ style

Yeah I use 3D Studio Max. It's easy to rig and animate a character using their CAT (Character Animation Toolkit) system.

If you are not familiar with 3D animation, here is the gist of it: You begin by essentially adding a skeleton to the limbs of a character, allowing you to animate the rotation and position of each bone. For each bone, you then place "keyframes" (which contain rotation and position data) along a timeline to establish the desired movement over time. I'll post some screenshots and maybe a video of the software and my setup.

To capture the geometry from the game, I use a tool called 3D Ripper DX. It monitors DirectX data that is flowing through the graphics card and records it. You can then import that data into Max and also Maya.

Man this is awesome. What is the DE song? All the others are actually songs from games/movies, so I assume the DE song is from something as well?

I feel like it's from Castlevania SotN, but it's been years since I played it.

Nice to see one thing that everyone can agree on, great job man!

Anybody else want to take a guess at the song that is in the Dark Elf scene before I spill the beans?

Hint: it is a remix

[Diggles]

Oi, spill the beans already!

No idea what song it is specifically, but, they made the All Your Base song out of it :3

It sounds like a heavily remixed, EQ theme to be honest
