BIONICLE: Tahu In His Element

Image
Now that BIONICLE's return is (in a sense) confirmed and imminent, I decided to jump on the hype train and place the Toa of Fire's latest iteration into some Ta-Wahi scenery!  Tahu himself was made with Stud.io, but the rigging and background were done by myself. I used some displacement maps here to actually affect the ground's geometry, and I was able to use a scratched-metal texture's bump map to add some scratches to Tahu in imitation of his 2001 animation, too!

The ABYDOS: Incursion OST is Now Released!

It took my a couple years, but I've released the full OST on SoundCloud! The first movie was made up completely of free stock music, so that's why there isn't a release of that one. Anyway, this is actually a slight revision from the movie version, with some minor changes and edits through most of the tracks (though not all).  Save maybe the title theme, it's not particularly different--basically, if you liked the original you'll probably like this more; if you disliked it you might dislike this less; and if you didn't have much of an opinion on it... well, you probably won't after this either.  https://soundcloud.com/mxyl-valtapaz/sets/abydos-incursion-ost

In one instance of this, I decided to use After Effects for a Sequel Trilogy cover that mimics the stylized look of 2011’s trilogy releases: I fit the printed cover (one draft, anyway) and the sequel disks into a spare 2013 6-disc Prequels case, which allowed me to have each two-disc Blu-ray set in one case, so the spine is a bit wider than the other two. There isn't a giant face on the front, as there is with the other two, but beyond that I feel like the official mural I used for the front cover aligns with the painted look of the other two pretty decently. Here's my latest version of the full image, complete with a couple of other changes for accuracy:  As the printed version shows, some space on either side will be cut off in the f...
