Truthless - Stormlight Archive - Cosmere Animation

[@fmscr14]

This is by far the coolest Stormlight adaptation I've seen. Holy cow, I really hope Brandon sees it.

[@CGIMati]

thanks :D

[@carloszerna4514]

This perfectly shows the terror that the assassin in white brings in the first book

[@freddofernandez]

I love this animations, keep them going! The pace, the expressions, the art... just incredible! Just one thing bothered me... the whole point of lashes is that they need to be performed with touch, here we see Szeth commanding lashes at a distance. This fight is amazing because the amount of close quarters contact it involves, not just regular slashing!

[@CGIMati]

Thanks!

[@Veithin]

Agree about the touch, but yes bring us more Stormlight animations! Kaladin and Adolin in the dueling arena!

[@CharlesZane_]

Yeah, lashing would be too overpowered if it could be done at range. It’s also why fight scenes with Szeth are so good because he often doesn’t even use his blade, and instead just weaves through groups of enemies while sending people flying off in random directions.

[@nnekaregis5578]

Lashes do not need touch.

[@freddofernandez]

@@nickminkin20 not ALL lashings, true, basic lashing requires contact. Reverse lashing also. Full lashing could be "sprayed" on an object, but that is mainly the surge of adhesion. Here we see the surge of gravitation being cast at a distance... that's not how it works!

[@APvJMusic]

Thanks again for inviting me to participate in the project. It was great to make music for this amazing animation. Wonderful work Mateusz and Julia!

[@CGIMati]

Best music ever

[@AceMax-5]

You did a phenomenal job bro🔥

[@Dede-en4sk]

Holy shit!!! This is beautiful!!! May the Almighty bless you, my brother

[@CGIMati]

thanks :D

[@hinumayyyy]

I just wanna say, the uncaniness of the movements the facial expressions the atmosphere reminds me of how scary the Diablo 2 cinematics were.... this is freaking amazing my guy!

[@CGIMati]

yeeeeh :D Thanks!

[@simonlewis9288]

Szeth prancing down that hallway with the shardblade out to the side... storms, man. These shot compositions are fantastic.

[@lorrainehatch4308]

That perspective shift is top teir

[@symbolguy3609]

It kinda hurt my neck though, trying to shift my sense of gravity.

[@HasanAslan]

imagine a series with the budget and scope of got or that new lotr series, opening with this bit. Audiences not having a clue what they witnessed but thinking it was glorious.

[@raynergenergy]

Everything sounds great, sound design and music are awesome! Big shout out to the whole team! 👏👏👏

[@CGIMati]

Thanks! :D

[@GunzShufle]

I feel like you nailed the feeling of falling rather than floating in some of the lashings. Really cool

[@commanderdreg]

Wish it was more accurate, but I will take all the Stormlight animation I can get

[@CGIMati]

I try my best

[@commanderdreg]

@@CGIMati That is all we can really ask for :) The animation is stunning. super dramatic

[@CGIMati]

thanks :

[@TheReadingVagabond]

@@CGIMatiI don’t see how it’s inaccurate at all…I think it’s spot on, defiantly got the feel down for Szeth

[@Ms.Pronounced_Name]

​@@TheReadingVagabond I saw at least 3 lashings without physical contact to imbue with Stormlight

[@Random15738]

Dude… insanely good. You gotta make more

[@CGIMati]

thanks :D

[@Jed_Herne]

Dude, this is absolutely spectacular. I would absolutely watch a full-length film made like this.

[@CGIMati]

If i had a producent i be glad to make it hahaha :D

[@FractalParadox]

The sound fx and ambiance are what does it for me

[@CGIMati]

thanks for the crue :D

[@FractalParadox]

@@CGIMati that means good job overall, everything is consistent, the music, visuals and sfx go very well together. But also I just _know_ you tried to have Szeth have a more menacing walk, with his arms down, but then the cloth sims kept clipping under the arms a nd making your life hell so you used a different animation in the end.

[@plotcoalition]

The rendering and stylization of this was stunning! Amazing work!

[@muldel9199]

This could perfectly be the introductory escene for a series, is amazing

[@CGIMati]

thanks :D

[@MiguelRodriguez-cy5wm]

this is so beautiful! szeth's voice 😍

You too! :D

[@CGIMati]

You make amazing Szeth voice

[@smosmo4617]

I really really loved that it was excellent. Say the words my friend , you have done the deeds.

[@seanderek1871]

feels like an old Blizzard CGI cutscene in the best possible way.

[@CGIMati]

Thanks

[@althor1247]

Damn dude, this and the bridge four one are incredible. The only criticism I have is minuscule in comparison to how well done this is. 9.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 out of 10 my man. One thing I love from both videos is how you captured the brutality of it all.

[@CGIMati]

Thanks. I,m wery hapy you like it!

[@spidermanandsnape]

Holy moly, this is a fan made CGI?! This is absolutely incredible!

[@AceMax-5]

This is phenomenal bro. You created a Masterpiece❤

[@yampyl9710]

holy cow, this is exactly how I imaged the scene would be when I read the book! thank you so much for the animation! it's absolutely incredible and would appreciate more of this!

[@Kocyqq]

Świetna robota 😁 wygląda to niesamowicie

[@CGIMati]

Miło czytać :D

[@jeminigemi]

This is how i would love to see the Stormlight Archives being done. High quality anime and/or CGI. Live action would probably kill the story, and creativity of good artists. Plus people would get hung up with the actors and stuff. PS, this clip was so friggin cool. As someone else mentioned, this felt right out of the Diable game series, and i am here for it. I could die a happy man if i could see the entire series done this way.

[@PocketPigments]

This is so good. Not even done reading RoW yet, and this makes me want to start again with Way of Kings... Great work!

[@DragioMaster]

Świetna robota. Jestem fanem Archiwum i bardzo przyjemnie się to ogląda !

[@shadowpanther298]

This is amazing dude! keep up the good work :D

[@raynergenergy]

Agreed!!! 👏👏👏

[@nicokholin]

Oh my god this is SO well done. The crab at the beggining!!! The Kholin banners on the walls!!! The ambience, the lighting, the textures, the clothing, the action, SUPER COOL, loved it. You did pay attention to a lot of details, however, you missed some things: 1. Lashes do not work like that, someone else already commented that. 2. Shardblades (or honorblade in this case) cut stone much more easily, this feels like it is a lightsaber cutting through metal. 3. The blade appears out of mist, but still the way you did it looked very cool and intimidating so I don't blame you. 4. The blade doesn't cut flesh. 5. Kholinar palace looks too big. I believe it only has like two floors. 6. I wish you made Szeth shine in blue from the stomlight. (and on a side note the "i am full of pain" line felt too edgy) Yes, I know I sound like a douchebag. It feels wrong to even mention these things because just the fact that this animation was made shows great love for the art and for the books, and I do choose focus on the positive, PLEASE KEEP IT GOING I BEG YOU. Seriously, you are doing such a geat job :)

[@CGIMati]

Thanks :D Cutting off heads is done intentionally. I know ot is not according to the book, but the lack of it looked odd in aniamation (like aniamation problem). Similarly with the wall cutting. I had to add physicality to it to make it look better in animation. I think my biggest mistake is the Szeth powers. Szeth must touch the object for this to work - and i made it wrong.

[@danielsaviopereiradasilva709]

Bro, I got no words for this. Its just like the word I've read and fall in love came real. You re not just an artist your a true Ligth Weaver

[@Stackofzach]

I love it. this and the Mistborn animation are some of my favorite to come back to! Although (UM...ACTUALLY) I don't think the honor blade would have decapitated the guards unless they were already dead. Keep up the great work!

[@ProphecyEU]

This is beautiful; Hopefully we'll get more in the future! Keep it up!

[@lucasfernandezgreen3805]

Hay un par de imprecisiones pero DIOS... ESTO ES UNA MARAVILLA

[@Orray]

It was beautiful...I love Szeth.

[@avatarxs9377]

Overall, it's great, but I have two concerns. First, Sheth can only pull objects or people that he physically touches-nothing remote. Second, Shardblades don't cut living humans; they pass through them

[@tripalink]

this is amazing! i absolutely cant wait for a full (hopefully liva ction) Stormlight Archive show!

Thank you. This is so cool. ❤

[@oddis188]

This looks really nice. Only thing that wasn't right was the lashing where he dragged the guard through the air to himself and the shardblade cutting the neck in the final fight. The shardblade doesn't do anything to the skin, it just burns the soul and leaves the eyes burnt (like the first kill) it cuts the clothes and armor like paper. And i guess the stone should not be that hard either to cut out. Felt little bit like Star Wars especially the cutting of the stone and the first lashing. He should need to touch the guard to be able to lash him.

[@CGIMati]

I know and I apologize for that. These are visual decisions that I made for an aesthetic.

[@oddis188]

Personaly i'm not fan of CGI, but the way you directed shots sell's it. Great work.

[@G0ldunDrak0n]

Okay this is really cool because it doesn't quite hit the vibe of the books, but it does hit the vibe of how fantasy books tend to be adapted into movies. It condenses the information from the book really well with only a few images. (The wall cut with the Blade emitting light as if had been melted by a lightsaber looks a little goofy though imo)

Niesamowita adaptacja niesamowitej sceny z niesamowitej książki

[@MarioMonte13]

I love saying his full name in this part aloud, "Szeth-son-son-Vallano, Truthless of Shinovar."

[@Marcel2278]

This is great, I wish it was more accurate though. Szeth didn't waste stormlight floating people like a jedi, the gravity surge is more gravity in a different direction rather than anti-gravity but the spear scene did go so hard and is something I see him doing. Also shard blades don't cut flesh, it cuts the soul so the first cuts wouldn't sever limbs or heads, just necrotise them (simple enough to do with an animated texture) Otherwise this goes so hard and looks great
