Default THF Intro - darkshark

Hey everyone, I'm sure not really any of you know me, I'm definitely new here, but I put forth some effort in getting this intro done before the deadline, hope you like it.



and some of you wanted a version where the text at the end is centered, so here that is:



Took about a total of 30 hours to make. Everything is modeled in 3ds Max 2012, the plasma is simulated with FumeFX, loaded into ParticleFlow, texture information is recoded, then rendered out with a particle renderer called Krakatoa. The geometry is rendered with VRay, the logo destruction is simulated with RayFire Tool, all composited in AfterEffects.

Wish me luck

**Edit: Thanks to Fragtality for extending the deadline so that I could refine this one to its current state, the last one was lacking in a few areas, seen here.


If anyone else here does 3d work, here's a copy of the 3d grenade model I created for this.

It's saved as both a .max 2012 file and OBJ with all materials included.

Here's the download link to the lossless video:

It's technically great, it's just.. I dunno. It's missing something, it has no character, ya know?

The logo looks lo res and the way it appears in did not really match the quality of the 3d at all. A lot of great stuff here but it feels really rushed together.

That's one of the things that got lost when my computer crashed earlier, the high res logo =/

I'm working on getting all of it fixed though, whether or not you guys want to let me update it is all up to you, but I'm still fixing this stuff for myself

Im sure Frag will let the deadline slide for a bit more. If you can somehow re-do it with a better font tonite or tomorrow.
