Stonefur's Trial - 3D Previz Scene

A project for a university module! As an aspiring previz animator I decided to revisit a big storytelling inspiration of mine, Warriors.
Rig is Pixie the Cat by Troop Nest, animated in Autodesk Maya. The dialogue is from the audiobook version of The Darkest Hour.

[@allhailthesnail5017]

This is exactly how I imagined this scene when I first read the book

[@pohoodu]

Yes

[@Frostfern94]

Same! Though I imagined Fire and Grey on a little Island separate from it.

[@allhailthesnail5017]

@@Frostfern94 yeah that's cool I always forget it took place in the river clan camp (come on leopard star!) , I always imagined that grey fire and raven where on small cliff edge behind grass overlooking the execution

[@Worldguy]

Omg same on point!

Hello

[@buttermilk5870]

I think it's from the audiobook? I recognize the voice acting and I have a lot of them 😳 I believe they're all actually voiced by the same person 👍 Don't take my word for it tho I could be wrong 😌❤️

[@pinkbunnygirl43]

@@buttermilk5870 It could be ^^ I remember that Graystripe voice is from the audiobooks! Thanks for the answer, I didn't realize til now. Still great editing of the video - the audiobook doesn't have this cool of music that's for sure! ;)

[@SiritheShrimp]

HOLY MOTHER!!!! THIS IS TOO GOOD?? I LEGIT WOULD WATCH A WARRIORS SERIES LIKE THIS!! ALSO - THE VOICE ACTORS ARE AMAZING???

[@cipher8818]

It's actually one dude doing the voices...he does all the audio books for Warriors.

Stonefur looks so good I really liked the part where his eye follows Darkstripe, it's noticable but not too fast to be distracting or anything This looks really good uwu

[@teekonu]

I bet this will be in everyone's recommendation soon! Which would be very nice to see, I really enjoyed this animation! I also really like how the models look.

honestly I was getting reminded of that one jump in the cacc meme with firestar and I thought we were getting that here - but receiving this was so much better.

[@user-tq6vf2nu3m]

kind of off topic but now I think Fireheart said 'Shaddup Graystripe'

POV: you're Squirrelflight and you just broke up with Brambleclaw

[@tuxedocat4338]

dude I would literally KILL just to watch full episodes of these somewhat low quality cats with audiobook voices and cool music in the background. It is literally fucking GOLD just to watch this scene right here, it gives me watership down vibes from Netflix because of those rad-ass shots of the cats being panned over, this is literally awesome!!

[@growing_paynes]

This is probably my favorite scene in the series and I’m so excited to see this. This is impressive as hell.

[@jaceflame3919]

Wow, this needs way more attention

[@magentialice]

I like how you prioritized certain movements over others, such as tigerstars eyelids changing in the close up to show some emotion and how he's signaling blackfoot with a nonverbal cue.

[@wolfyface6851]

I- i- IM SPEECHLESS THE VOICE ACTORS ARE SO TALENETED THIS LOOKS LIKE A MOVIE SCENE NO JOKE GOOD JOBB

[@clovepelt6994]

It’s even better that it’s just one man doing all the voices, Macleod Andrews

[@kelliker9165]

you picked a good time to be posting 3d warriors content, it's on the rise. You did an awesome job with this! It's a very expressive rough, I think comparable to a pmv? Not everything is animated in detail but what you did was interesting, expressive, and forwarded the story you were telling. I particularly appreciated fire and grey's reaction at the end

[@Barnacl3_Boi]

Thank you so much!! It’s a previz, which is used in industry as layout stage or 3D storyboard with proxy models before animation begins :}
