D&D Game Opening - Avolar: Hero's Sacrifice
The opening sequence is created for a new Dungeons & Dragons campaign titled «Avolar: Hero’s Sacrifice». The production utilized Blender (for 3D modeling and texture adjustments), Nuke X (for 2D graphics and compositing), and Davinci Resolve (for editing and color grading). Character miniatures were designed on Hero Forge and later customized in Blender to add unique details. The video captures key moments of the campaign, including events the characters have already faced and those that await them in the future.

Заставка создана для новой кампании по Dungeons & Dragons под названием «Аволар: Жертва Героя». В работе использовались программы Blender (для 3D-моделирования и настройки текстур), Nuke X (для 2D-графики и композитинга) и Davinci Resolve (для монтажа и цветокоррекции). Фигурки персонажей были созданы на сайте Hero Forge, а затем доработаны в Blender для придания уникальности. Видео отражает ключевые моменты кампании, включая события, которые уже произошли, и те, что ждут героев впереди.

"It is and always will be" - description of what the heroes must face
It all started with a story board, sketches and references.
The entire installation was done in one blender project, the storyboards were processed and all decisions were made here.
All shots were divided into two layers in a blender. The main one with rendering of the environment and characters.
Particles - where particles were counted separately so that they did not interfere with the compositing.
Many shots use dynamic and animated light changes.
All particles were made using simplified geometry and animated textures.
Industrial AOV Connector - The most useful addon in this project turned out to be IAOVc, which allows you to fill in everything necessary to calculate the rendering based on passes in a second.

This is an RND shot that didn't make it into the final cut. That's all, thanks for watching.
