	Message: : Hi everyone, : I'd like to share my latest animation project with you guys. I wanted to : create a proof of concept for how one might do a new Marathon-like game, : where the story is presented textually, and bring it up to modern : standards. : I took the text of the first terminal in Blaspheme Quarantine, made a voice : recording of the text, and then modeled and animated a talking Durandal : head to the voice. My reference was what is, to my knowledge, the only : canon rendition of an A.I. in Marathon, which is the green figure in the : Durandal chapter screen. I did a lot of post-production to make the : terminal look like it was presented on a damaged, poor-quality video : screen. There's also a part where the video cuts out: this was my : interpretation of the part of the terminal that was garbled and : un-readable. : What I envision is running around in a modern game, complete with terminals : which, instead of displaying text, play movies directly on the surface of : the terminal screen. In particular, I would point to Doom 3 for how this : all would look and feel, as that game has the dark, claustrophobic, : inside-a-spaceship environment and a lot of full-motion video textured : onto surfaces. : Without further ado, here it is. The high quality version looks much better : than the lower quality, so please view the former if you can. : large version (19.5 MB): : http://bob.chamotlabs.com/3DArt/characters/Durandal-final-large.mov : small version (3.8 MB): : http://bob.chamotlabs.com/3DArt/characters/Durandal-final-small.mov : Programs used: iChat (for collecting video reference), Audio In, Maya, : Photoshop, Sound Studio, iMovie (with 3rd party effects), QuickTime Pro
