"The Tick" Pilot - Prologue recreated in 3D

[@PantherCat64]

This reminds me of a cut scene I would see in a late 90s early 2000s PC or maybe Playstation 2 game, and I fricken love it. I can't explain how you nailed that look, but I don't see it often at all anymore and there's a charm to it I like and can point it out when I see it, so absolute fantastic job.

[@aaronbasham6554]

I came down to type the exact same thing, although I'm feeling it a little closer to Xbox or GC

[@carloscardona6587]

I just think if these graphics got polished it be a telltale game kinda Sam and Max on Wii or Ps3, Like Sam & Max. Tho Tick could work as a point n click with light combat n puzzle segments for 90s pc games

[@PantherCat64]

@@carloscardona6587 I'm kinda thinking now of Telltale adventure game art style, mixed with similar gameplay to Brock the Investigator. There is a combat system, You could solve it like a puzzle game, even getting around combat encounters, but if you're stuck you have the ability to break things until something finally works. Honestly that kinda game would fit the Tick's personality for sure.

[@williampalkow6647]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@TheMartianMancumpster]

Yeah, I was just thinking this looks a lot like a Ratchet and Clank cutscene

[@petergriscom3431]

This feels so much like it could've been a real PC game. You've done an amazing job at capturing all the charm of the Animated Series.

[@legionaireb]

The renders may not be perfect, but the sheer level of detail and dedication shown by this is, in The Tick's own words, MIGHTY!!!!

[@BradGroatman]

Ha, the renders are waaaay far from perfect! :)

[@bdpickett]

I actually like the quality of the renders. It looks like a videogame from the era the show came from.

[@TECH097]

This truly gives the vibes of what the opening to a Tick PS1 game could be ^^

[@swolie]

Oh be nice, this is at least PS2

[@kittenwizard4703]

The ps1? Having lip animation?

[@TECH097]

@@swolie O rest assured I believe regardless this is A+ Quality, I'm just reminded of PS1 FMV when it comes to the specific types of cartoons CGI used without complicated textures and such

[@GhostPumpkin3]

@@TECH097exactly, just imagine this compressed to all hell lol

[@sarabihyena]

This is absolutely delightful, it feels so era aproapriate, in another timeline this WAS the tick!

[@aguynamelex3146]

the interview seems like promo for a video game like between their questions we see gameplay for some puzzle based 3d platformer. And ofcourse the intro would be when you start the game before getting to the title screen

[@Greatdictator]

Very impressive recreation ,lotsa work went into the modelling especially.

[@Lneti_VT]

Fantasic! I think the fun part, is that the animation would actually be high end for the era The Tick aired. Like ReBoot and BeastWars.

[@Arkzyw]

Thanks for leading me here. Adding this to the opening...it's even more incredible, than I have previously said! It's...I may say even better than orignal. If only the whole series could be remade this way... There is also a very disappointing thing - the number of views. I watched this series as a kid, and understood it is a parody, and I loved the humor of this series. I loved X-Men (number 2), Spiderman (number 3), but The Tick was a number 1! And one of the few I can fully enjoy as an adult. I can't believe It's popularity is so low.... Again...thanks for your wonderful work!

[@DoctorInk20]

There's so much effort and love in this. Bravo! The intro recreation feels like something you see at the start of a Tick video game. Good vibes. ^_^

[@mahatmarandy5977]

Oh my God, yes! Please please please please do more of these! SUBSCRIBED!

[@delvin0965]

This gives a 2000 pc game kind of vibe.

[@Piledriver86]

Very impressive work, especially the details on the background characters. Extra points for the judges. A bit of trivia: this backstory was made just for the cartoon. In the original comic book, Tick is an escapee from an asylum.

[@parmesanzero7678]

Clearly a passion project. Love it. I remember when the Tick first came out. It was hilarious. My siblings and I couldn’t believe it because it was funny and stupid in such a different way at the time, at least to us. And all the nerd/comic culture references made it feel like it was just for us.

[@BradGroatman]

I was always so surprised at how it absolutely did nothing for some folks but always made me die laughing. It never gets old :)

[@ChaosMaster345]

Ah the nostalgia, not just from seeing a piece of one of my childhood favorites reanimated in a new medium but also the fact that this feels like a game that should have existed! Good work man!

[@chrfhzrh]

Thank you very much, I discovered the tick through invincible there was a crossover between them

[@dylanfrancis5996]

Aw man… now I want a game like this. It’s, it’s just too Mightly perfect! SPOOON!!

[@dagonkur]

I love how crunchy it sounds

[@PandorasFolly]

Beautiful. Amazing. No Notes. Please continue doing whatever you want.

[@ininja32]

They really need to bring the show back, it was funny as hell.😊

[@FalloutJack]

Nicely done, chum! 😁

[@BradGroatman]

Ha! Thanks! :)

[@thatoneweirdguy7447]

This has a very vintage feel, I like it!

This is wonderful, you are wonderful. I love your Tick stuff! :D

[@IsiahTomas]

I just realized there must be 4 judges since the other one had to be invisible somehow.

[@baxblack4369]

This is perfection!

[@dragonfire5568]

This is incredible!

[@AwesomeBlasto]

Yea spooooooooon

[@VicsionSpear]

Epic..! :D

[@yaboi20000]

nice job this can actually past off as a cutscene from a ps2 game based off of the tick cartoon(in a good way).

[@artbyisaiah]

Incredible!!

[@matsug5704]

I would like this twice if I could!!

[@SaffronicSaffron]

Damn that's good, that's really, really good.🎉

[@bartmanfantanfart36]

It may not look good but this was made with heart Like a justice stew served hot and delicious and very healthy

[@michaellam2508]

This definitely needs a comeback! SPOON!!

[@CSLucasEpic]

This is so freaking good!

[@amymaybe3414]

I would kill to see a telltale tick game

[@athentdm5333]

the opening recreation feels like a cut scene when you open the game wile the rest feels like a promo for the game

[@dissonanceparadiddle]

This is so well done it's extremely accurate

[@BradGroatman]

Thanks so much! :)

[@glurp1]

Bravo, good sir!

[@ncux13]

Very good work!

[@paleknight1]

Despite being a bit choppy, the 3d work looks amazing.

[@Dat_MrBlack]

THAT WAS AMAZING

[@LordTchernobog]

The pilot feels like an early 3D animation from the early 2000'. The intro like a PS2 intro, lol

[@izayamayo]

I just became a tick fan recently and I’m absolutely enthralled by this splendid work

[@BradGroatman]

That's so great to hear - thank you!

Dude you put the work in

[@devforfun5618]

i was going to ask why there were only 3, but invisible woman is the one missing

[@XperimentorEES]

Wait till you find "The Civic Minded Five", they'll make a difference . . . just not in the way you'd expect lol.

[@robotnikkkk001]

....MAY BE NOT PERFECT,BUT... *_I'D WATCH WHOLE SERIES IN QUALITY LIKE THAT_* ..........

[@JimBimBum]

the style reminds me of freaky flyers

[@jasonregan365]

My uncle was the sound mixer for this series

[@BradGroatman]

Oh wow that's so cool! He was part of such a great series and I wish it had gone on longer

[@laikskave7203]

Looks like an upscaled PS1 game intro video.

[@bendyandtheyoutubechannel4372]

Why does most of the intro look like clay mation

[@MirekFe]

Might I recommend Blender. It's more powerful than Maya (not to mention lightweight), does more in one package, free and open source. It's a whole software suite, in one program. Hope this helps.

[@MirekFe]

I forgot to add that the renders are faster.

[@BradGroatman]

Blender's a great program but I hate the workflow - it feels so clunky to me without marking menus and the in-window functionality of Maya (it's also because I'm so used to Maya that I'm too stubborn to change :) The biggest hurdle right now is that it's still lagging behind Maya in rigging tools - last I checked it still doesn't have set-driven keys or grouping (collections are different in that they aren't transformable entities the way Maya groups are, which makes rigging so much easier), which is a deal breaker - and I'm really a rigger primarily so it's hard to justify making that leap. I do keep downloading the newest versions of Blender though!

[@TonyGore]

👍🏾👏

[@frickerrific2813]

How did you make the cgi look SOOO 90s?!

[@BradGroatman]

Easy - all the things you usually do to make a render look good, I didn't do :)

[@redrevanantarcdemon441]

Kinda reminds me of ps 1 games

[@jakstrieder]

it looses something compared to the original... it needs shadows and shading, good first try though.
