it kinda was part of a wip stage I've had in mind for some time, but I'm trying to model a more detailed one, this one won't fit the rest of sprite style and was made as a form of test, so I figured I'd share so it doesn't waste, someone may find a good use for it.

Spoiler:

the planet and the cloud map are made to be animated separatedly.
900 sprites for a smooth animation, feel free to edit-use it.

Spoiler:

What's really funny is Genesis was looking to find similar sources. Thanks Margatroid!

Yeah, but idk if i can edit 900 frames to make it in that particular style i need,but i have ideas for this. Nice Stuff Marg

I figured I'd make a stage for Berserker. it's something I've had in mind for some time actually.

based on the place of Saber & Berserker final battle.
probable finished result.....I hope.

Spoiler:

I have the stage modeled and just finished the fire illumination.

Spoiler:

as animation
fire + fire sprinkler rain
not sure if I should add water puddles since it's 3D, I guess I can add it as animated parallax, but TBH I've never done out of shifting flat floor and 5-6 frames, don't know how it would look with more complex animations.



& the obligatory BGM.

Spoiler:

O______O if you replicate that fire perfectly then OMG SFHMKSHUSHNFYKUMUHEUHMIT

Disregarding that, I take it you'll use layers to recreate/emulate the overlay of color from the original?

Honestly i'm not even sure how to respond to the puddle scenario,guess a diff question is "is it worth it?"

I await this regardless Marg.

yeah, first I need to make a few tests to see if I have to change color/brightness etc, since the fire & smoke adds to the illumination in game.

don't know if I can recreate the fire really, my problem are the particles used to make it....
my pc last DAYS to render an animation with good quality and sometimes the program even crashes if there are too many particles.
If I can't I guess I'll just use some fire footage.

Honestly i'm not even sure how to respond to the puddle scenario,guess a diff question is "is it worth it?"

little details is what makes things awesome.
may consider adding heat haze too

Spoiler:

It's good that you're trying it out first, also footage fire can work well for this concept as a back up if it comes to that. I appreciate all the small details and I can't wait for this.

might change the original color & design, after seeing some more scenes to a (IMO) better looking one, so the heat haze is more noticeable, anyway an early alpha.

Sounds good, I'll be looking forward to it. I can't wait to see how you implement it.

need to practice more metal stuff, getting the armor right was getting annoying.

.....Now, if I could figure how to make fog wrap around to make him look badass....

might consider adding him to the stage, while I usually don't like the idea of having characters in the BG standing/sitting/whatever around like idiots, I kinda want to see if I can make him react to the stage according to the position of the characters.though, I still suck at animating characters, so it will take some time.

Crazy stuff, man. You've got quite the talent.

You're actually a motivation to myself, and that's hard to find for me in stage creators. So thank you.

I agree with GLB, whenever you make a stage, I feel like getting off my lazy ass and making something totally insane. Good luck with your project bro! The 3D modeling looks great

So this may be another 200MB stage?
Cool.
