Test animation of Vyrotech Unit Barrage in Flight. Wanted to see what it will look like if I use the speed line technique. I am pleased with the results.

Today I finally caught up to my previous attempt of animating this scene. For fun I decided to show each version of the animation. The first one was animated back in 2020. I was never able to finish it. The 2024 version I got a little further and I should finish probably by the end of December. As much as I like the 2020 version, the 2024 really pop with the colors. I'm so glad I took time off to improve my art. It was worth the 4 year delay. For one, I can create these much faster now. I've been working on this one for a week and a half. The 2020 version took 3 months to make.

Created a new Cyberneer. Cybertech Unit Celestine. Her name comes from my mother. It was her middle name. Celestine is connected to the Cybertech Unit Knightshade's tragic past. Working on a flash back scene with her, KnightShade, and Strykre.

The main battle scene for episode 1 is complete. I'm in the home stretch. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have just one more scene to animate and I finish animating Episode 1. Total time was 11 Months to complete this episode. This is the time to beat when I start animating Episode 2 next week. This whole episode came together nicely. This was a major improvement over my 2015 film. I look forward to doing more.

This scene sets up the main gimmick for this series. Greenstal's ability to learn without requiring programs. With each new episode Greenstal will learn new abilities but his supporting cast will also gain new abilities. The real interest will be in how they use their newly acquired abilities to defeat their foes. This will be a fun series to animate.

Greenstal takes out the difficult to destroy Tank Drone.

This main battle scene might be my favorite of the film so far. All-though, I still have the Shockwave fight to animate. This is going to be a good looking film when it is done.

Sneak peak at the main battle scene for Episode 1. The Vyrotech Hunters are pinned down by a tank drone and they just learned their best warrior, "Knightshade" will not be coming to assist them. If their situation couldn't get any worse, one of the Hunters pick up another unit fast approaching their rear. Distracted by this new development, the Hunter doesn't notice the Vyrotech sneaking up on them but Greenstal jets in and slice down two of them before blowing the last one away with his buster. So begins the main battle scene of Episode 1 Shockwave.

I'm impressed with the update look of this scene compare to the 2014 version. Making the city on fire from the aftermath of Shockwave's attack makes it look more like a war zone and helps convey how bad the situation is.

The Cyples of Greenstal when they were low level Hunters. I will be introducing thee of them in the next scene I'm currently working on. To symbolize that they are not awaken yet, I alter their look and removed their head dress and gave them standard Hunter riffles. As the series progresses their look will change as they become more skilled. This scene will be when they first meet Greenstal and their lives change forever.

A new personal best for me. I completed 2 scenes in one month. The War Room scene is completed. I pretty much reused the original recordings from the 2015 film. I only updated Greenstal's lines. Of course when I get closer to releasing the series, the other character's lines will be changed as well but this will do for now.

2 more scenes to animate and Episode 1 Shockwave is done. The next scene is a major scene in this episode. The Heroes will face off against the main villain. I figure that scene will take several months to animate but I should finish the episode by the end of the year. 4 months faster than I had anticipated.

Scene 3 is Complete.

This scene introduce the main villain of the episode Vyrotech Unit Shockwave.

Compare this to my original version of this episode, I've made some subtle changes. This version I have the Vyrotech Hunters show up in pick up trucks, I added one of those pick up trucks exploding when Shockwave's EMP shockwave strikes it, I had one of the hunters try to take Shockwave out with a grenade but fail and I added a lightning strike when Shockwave poses for the camera at the end. These small changes really enhances this scene over the original.

Episode 1 Shockwave is coming along nicely. I'm at the half way point. 3 more scenes left to animate and this episode is done.

I've improve the sound design of Shockwave's EMP shock wave. He is ready for his debut scene.

I have finished animating Scene 2 of Episode 1. This scene is unique to the remake. It did not appear in the original. This time around I wanted to set up a scene that displays the continuous relationship between the Hunters and the Cyberneers over the handling of the Cybernet being down. I also wanted to introduce Cybertech Unit Nevets in this episode instead of Episode 2 since she is one of the major characters in the series. This scene also shows how she first learn of Cybertech Unit Greenstal though he is not mention by name in this scene.

I feel the need for speed ;-}

Screen Test for Scene 2. I’m testing out my rig for the Hunter Transport Vehicle and Kart. This will be my first time using my Hunter Head Quarters set in an animated project. Easily the biggest and most complex set I’ve made. It will be the only set to be used in all 8 episodes of Cybertech.

A group of Cyber Terrorist known as Vyrotechs break into a CPU research facility and steal two Cypyrean Artifacts. The Vyrotech Hunters pursue them through the streets of Sageon but they loose them in the Cyber Forest. Knightshade, the Hunter Commander and best warrior takes over the pursuit and starts taking out the Vyrotechs one by one. The Vyrotechs are force to take cover in a Cave but they soon learn they are not alone....

The opening scene for Cybertech Episode 1 is nearly complete. It feels good working on an actual episode. It has been awhile. Hopefully I’ll have his scene finish by the end of April.

Work in Progress. This is Greenstal’s debut scene. I have animated this scene twice before but this is by far the best version. The thing I am most impressed by is how well I hide Greenstal in the shadows. You don’t even notice him in the room unless you know were to look for him. That makes his surprise attack more believable. This scene alone makes revisiting Episode One worth it.

The first 6 minutes of the Cybertech Episode One Shockwave.

This is a test animation with my recently created set, Noracam. The home base of the Vyrotech Hunters. In Episode 3 there will be a major arial battle in the skies above Hunter Head Quarters. I wanted to see what that look like. Here is a test animation of that arial battle. I thought it fitting to use the Battle of Yavin as the background music. It works well with this animation.

By Far, my Favorite Animation of 2023.

The finish Set for Episode two of the Cybertech series. Most of the Episode will take place here.

June 2023 I am celebrating all things Nevets. This month 10 years ago I created my first Female Cybertech, Nevets. She wasn't originally part of the Cybertech story, but one day while at work I was doodling and sketch out the design concept for a female Cybertech. Then I spent the rest of the month recreating her as a 3D model. She paved the way for other female characters such as Aliehs, Latsyrc, Hysha and Ecyla. Enjoy the look back at Nevets throughout the years. Happy 10 years, Cybertech Unit Nevets
