Aoe3 Animation ideas - (Poll)

There isn’t a single fan animation out there for this game, i like this game, i like animations, I’d like to animate one °<°

Had a few ideas… as part of the community, which one would you like to see most?

  • AoE3 Logic (A hussar surviving 100 strelets shots)
  • A campaing scene animated (Morgan would be fun to animate)
  • A montage of a random skirmish (Maybe a few wacky strategies)
  • An animation of the evolution of units through the games (From Aoe 1,M,2,4,3)
  • Something else

Anyway, I finally finished my semester of Uni. so I can upload videos again on my channel.

How many units are in all games? I’m thinking Monted/Cavalry archer and camels. Buildings is easier: TC, barracks, stable…

I’m going for the first 2 top picks :slight_smile:

Should be done in 3 weeks (Or 3 years), here is some behind the scenes jasdhfjhasdh

Cool thing about making aoe3 content, is that there is so little of it, you can coin on literally anything you make lol

OH, I HAD ANOTHER IDEA!

Remember the cool chess intro of aoe2? It could be that, but aoe3!

I would like the ‘reload’ animation to not be suspended by the ‘hit and run’ move or the ‘attack move’. I think units could reload their rifles, bows, cannons or whatever without needing to cancel said animation.

I would also like the cattle to be more dynamic in their behavior: They could lie down, lick themselves, wag their tails, eat grass, etc.

I still have 2 years before my deadline :ok_hand:

Meanwhile, I started a shorter animation, so I can practice using Krita (Animation program).

Oi, experts! Which unit is this?

Does it work if I put a dialogue line from the wiki like this?

Edit: It seems to work xD

A question for whichever moderator is left for the aoe3 forum:
Am I going to get banned if I keep posting age of empires animation progress over here?

Took forever, but I’m finally done with sketching the animation, now, I’m starting with the line art.
For being the first animal I animate on that perspective, it kinda like the result :sweat_smile:

This is the animation for the first scene of the 3 minute video (shown overlapped with the sketch) and a close up of the galloping loop.
From now on I’ll sneak progress of scenes I’ve already shown here (as to keep a bit of surprise to it heheh).

Any and all comments will help with this progress, so YOU could be part of creating this aoe3 content, don’t be shy :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:
I’m writing down all ideas posted here and on the ANVALLEN video, so I have a lot more animations planned after this monster of a project…
