WoW Model Viewer - After Effects Plugin!<span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0); font-weight: bold;">APRIL FOOLS :)</span><br /><br />I am very proud to announce the WoW Model Viewer plugin for After Effects.<br /><br />I have been secretly working with a group of talented coders to make machinimaking easier. I'm no coder myself, but I've worked as a consultant as a part of this group.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.baronsoosdon.com/uploaded_images/WoWMV_AE-717289.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 212px;" src="http://www.baronsoosdon.com/uploaded_images/WoWMV_AE-717117.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />The project has been going on for exactly one year.<br /><br /><br />Currently the model viewer for AE is quite buggy, but we can view models. However, the equipment for the models must be set with the real model viewer. Keyframing animations, speed etc is something we wanted to make functional first.<br /><br />We have no public release date yet, but we expect to get a functional alpha version out before the summer.<br /><br />The lead programmer - my fellow countryman Vera Kusi had this to say: "It's great to have Soosdon on our team. His knowledge about machinima and WoW models in general has been of great help to us."<br /><br />Our team has also talent from the Netherland, mr Fopril Aals has also an unique perspective on this: "We've also contacted some other community members. I found it quite unbelievable, but the most interest came from the RolePlaying community. They have been always wanting tools to make their erotic roleplay stories to come into reality - I believe we can grant them their wishes!"<br /><br />As the basic functionality has been tested, we will start thinking about further features to the program.BaronSoosdonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07591206017848083263noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6249526726238383472.post-59557243319779622712010-03-27T23:53:00.003+02:002010-03-28T00:04:39.772+02:00StarCraft II betakey contest winner(s)!<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xOCBMZt03kk&hl=en_US&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xOCBMZt03kk&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">GRAND PRIZE WINNER</span></span><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpOkFQBTPpI"><span style="font-size:180%;">"Starcraft In Azeroth" - by NarutoSan098</span></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">BEST DISQUALIFIED VIDEO</span><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Q6OAPJBeAs">"Baby He's Your Man" - by Mushanga</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">BEST VIDEO WITH GNOMES IN IT</span><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAe1KQxfCzg">"Gnome Trouble" - by Dachux21</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">BEST VIDEO WITHOUT ANY DILDOS IN IT</span><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4E_2vzwE7sE">"The Television" - by Hellmor</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">WHISPER GS AND ACHIEVEMENT AWARD</span><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJgrIK32PNA">"Sexy Chick" - by NRD80Y</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">NEEDS MORE RHONIN AWARD</span><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U70-q-sTLrM">"Brain Chili" by Pinkhair</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">THE VIDEO WHICH WAS SENT TOO LATE, BUT IS STILL TOMCRUISEXCELLENT</span><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWnf7JUc7aA">"Idea" by Paus</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">STOP GIVING MORE AWARDS-AWARD</span><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IXsQRp80e0">"ToiletTrees" by Ardohin</a><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjvqf3s_WiA">"Black Temple" by RedEyeLobine</a><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0">"Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley</a><br /><br />Shepiwot was automatically awarded with the lifetime achievement award.<br />This happened before the contest even began.<br /></div>BaronSoosdonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07591206017848083263noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6249526726238383472.post-51562606552725588102010-03-24T00:48:00.002+02:002010-03-24T00:51:45.130+02:00THIS is how you make an ingame machinima.<center><object width="460" height="240"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/sJESm-assss&hl=en_US&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/sJESm-assss&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="460" height="240"></embed></object></center><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;

I'm going to avoid using any machinima or game related stuff in it. But as ideas develop on the way, who knows what'll happen!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.baronsoosdon.com/uploaded_images/wonderless002-733281.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="http://www.baronsoosdon.com/uploaded_images/wonderless002-733113.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.baronsoosdon.com/uploaded_images/wonderless001-763547.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="http://www.baronsoosdon.com/uploaded_images/wonderless001-763381.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The style of the video is very similar to The Device Has Been Modified - as the lyrics of the song play out, the words and letters are synced to them.<br /><br />I have no timetable on this, as this is a sideproject from all things machinima. I also don't expect to finish this anytime soon, since I'm filming it in FullHD and that does punish your machine.<br /><br />The good thing in all this is that there will be no sick amounts of Fraps files to fill the HDD!BaronSoosdonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07591206017848083263noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6249526726238383472.post-35753354432573866632010-03-01T22:32:00.004+02:002010-03-01T22:49:30.832+02:00Destruction, Rebirth, Dead MurlocThe YouTube account drama takes an unexpected twist and turn, as the account seems to have been restored for now.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.baronsoosdon.com/uploaded_images/nevergonnagiveyouuup-786784.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 257px;" src="http://www.baronsoosdon.com/uploaded_images/nevergonnagiveyouuup-786758.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />But still, I haven't changed my mind. Something new must become out of all this!<br /><br />I'm not sure what the future will bring, but I'm playing with the thought that World of Gnomecraft 2.0 will be the last movie I release on this particular YT account. I am not planning to get rid of the BaronSoosdon alias or anything.<br /><br />"Nublock Movies" on the other hand is expendable.<br /><br />The best thing about all this DRAMAH is the inspiration it gave me. It's been an eternity since I've gotten an idea for a voice-acted machinima with a plot.. Especially for one which has all three key ingredients: a beginning, middle part and THE END.<br /><br />When I now think of all the machinima ideas I had in mind prior to this drama, all I can see the word <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">"CANCELLED"</span> written in red text above their imaginary screenshots. The XT002 movie is an exception. For it, I see only static with red pixels here and there.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Destruction brings rebirth.<br />Rebirth brings dead murlocs.<br />You know the rules and so do I.<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.baronsoosdon.com/uploaded_images/fffuuuuuu-749983.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 389px; height: 294px;" src="http://www.baronsoosdon.com/uploaded_images/fffuuuuuu-749968.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>BaronSoosdonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07591206017848083263noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6249526726238383472.post-67668742243121198612010-02-26T21:36:00.012+02:002010-02-27T15:14:07.741+02:00Not Photoshopped.<span style="font-style: italic;">5.7K+ YouTube subscribers.</span><br /><br />Gone in an instant. *poof*<br /><br />Without no e-mail explaining why.<br /><br /><br />I have sent an inquiry to YouTube via their extrefuckingmely-hard-to-find complaint form. Oh wait, that is actually <span style="font-style: italic;">not</span> a complaint form - you could just tick some boxes. If this was a copyright problem, I thought they'd just disable the video in question and/or send a notification about it.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.baronsoosdon.com/uploaded_images/lolololrage-783879.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 49px;" src="http://www.baronsoosdon.com/uploaded_images/lolololrage-783865.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Search function is your friend, so I used it! A lot of other users have the same issue as well, accoutn shut down without any warnings before or after.<br /><br />This has to be said first - I am not emoing, raging or angry at the moment. Just extremely, EXTREMELY disappointed. Hell, I'm not even drunk.<br /><br />I always thought that I would quit (WoW) machinima on my own terms, when I want, when I had achieved enough and made all the movies that had to be made. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Therefore, I have made this decision: if I am not getting my YouTube account back, <span style="font-style: italic;">World of Gnomecraft 2.0</span> will be the last WoW-machinima you will ever see from me.</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.baronsoosdon.com/uploaded_images/RRRAGEE-710065.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 340px; height: 305px;" src="http://www.baronsoosdon.com/uploaded_images/RRRAGEE-710051.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The reason for this is just the p0w3r of teh internets. Using all those subscribers is (was?) a good thing to get the word out of new videos and other stuf..<br /><br />Making a new account is not an option, there is just <span style="font-style: italic;">no way</span> to get those subscribers back. Sucks - but life does that a lot apparently :)<br /><br />If this is the universes way of saying <span style="font-style: italic;">"lol go on, find another engine"</span> - so be it!<br /><br />This may be a goodbye to WoW-moviemaking, but not to machinima or video editing in general.<br /><br />We shall see. I just want an explanation from them.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">UPDATE!<br /><br /></span>I guess this is it then!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.baronsoosdon.com/uploaded_images/youtube_partytiem-781128.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://www.baronsoosdon.com/uploaded_images/youtube_partytiem-781094.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />I'm not giving up that easily, I did reply to this mail though - hoping for a reply.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255); font-weight: bold;">Update 2!</span><br /><br />Almost forgot about the unfinished stuff while mrgrlglrglrl'ing to YouTube. Let's go through them in order<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Palest Horse</span> - definitely not cancelled! Almost every voice has been recorded and I'm ready to move on with this. Even if this YouTube drama is means the end for my music videos and stuff like that, I sure as hell am not going to quit without making at least one full-length plot machinima.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Ballad of XT-002: Very Bad Toys</span> - after the YT drama, I don't know. Probably not. I did come up with some great ideas for the unfilmed parts, but I can live without finishing this movie.<br /><br />There are also two other unfinished machinimas on my HD, which I think I'll release as they are. I haven't touched those two in months.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 255, 51);">UPDATE 3</span><br /><br />In case YouTube was the only way for you to watch my machinimas, no worries!

You are always playing it and you can only LOSE the game. That doesn't mean that there isn't any loot! In this came, the loot comes in the form of <span style="font-style: italic;">pictures</span> which are taken with this device called <span style="font-style: italic;">camera</span>.<br /><br />The other day, it was sunshining outside. That means that it's safe to go out since the polar bears are not out there to eat people. The sun makes the bear sparkle, they don't like that <span style="font-style: italic;">at all</span>. Those polar bears come mostly out at night, mostly.<br /><br />It was safe to go to the frozen lake to hunt pictures without the fear of being eaten by a sparkling polar bear.<br /><br />So here we go - pictures. They have been slightly Photoshopped: level adjustments, brightness/contrast plus some photo filter.

No rules in items. No (more) DK's we are already full on those (got one in the guild). Wanna join? Whisper me ingame (Soosisti, Whitelabel, Metaverse, Ilonjuhla) and ask moar. Maximum level 60, IRL age 18+ and plix know what to do. When I got the time and all that, I'll finish the webpage for the guild.<br /><br />The guild is called <never>, it's already been formed - we got a TABARD with a goat in it and a GUILD BANK full of all sorta oldskool items. Including the BoE T1 pieces for almost every class.<br /><br />Recruitment is open on all classes, but the most wanted thing is a protard warrior.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-style: italic;">p.s.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Sorry for all the gnomes that got killed!

You could get a trial account, but then I you cannot be summoned, invited to a raid/party or even whisper anyone.<br /><br />The other way is to buy an EU classic account, but I think it'll be a lot cheaper for you if you'll just watch the video about the event :)<br /><br /><br />I will post just a bit more info about this once I get my invitation video done.BaronSoosdonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07591206017848083263noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6249526726238383472.post-66058915699217061532009-11-25T23:17:00.003+02:002009-11-26T06:28:32.681+02:00Best thread of ALL TIME + help request!I've found the most epicest WoW-thread of all time..

Here's your chance!<br /><br />For the people playing on EU realms this will be quite easy - if you have a lv55 already, the least painful way is to create a Horde LolKnight and join the fight.<br /><br />For all the others, this will be a bit trickier. You need to get an EU client + an EU account. Getting a trial account is easy. The downside of a trial account is that you can not whisper any other player and lv20 is the maximum you can reach. Coming to Silithus with an lv20 might be a bit painful.<br /><br />When I got all the items, I'll announce the exact date in here and YouTube.<br /><br />In addition to the actual summoning event, I'm looking for good ideas on what to do with all the 2 people that show up.<br /><br />Crashing Booty Bay + STV could be a nice tradition to uphold? :)<br /><br /><center><object width="320" height="265"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/IaDEDYnoiio&hl=en_US&fs=1&hd=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/IaDEDYnoiio&hl=en_US&fs=1&hd=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"></embed></object></center>BaronSoosdonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07591206017848083263noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6249526726238383472.post-11139445192616888232009-11-16T20:29:00.005+02:002009-11-16T23:08:46.983+02:00Aion Machinima: Looking Back No More<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.baronsoosdon.com/uploaded_images/lookingbacknomore_webbanner-789252.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 142px;" src="http://www.baronsoosdon.com/uploaded_images/lookingbacknomore_webbanner-789238.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><center><object width="380" height="195"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6l1aNLJjOeY&hl=en_US&fs=1&hd=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6l1aNLJjOeY&hl=en_US&fs=1&hd=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="380" height="195"></embed></object></center><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Downloads</span><br /><a href="http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DR9ZZ1MC">Full HD 1080p / x264 @ Megaupload</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Streams</span><br /><a href="http://vimeo.com/7646242">Vimeo</a><br /><a href="http://www.wegame.com/watch/Looking-Back-No-More/">WeGame</a><br /><a href="http://myndflame.gameriot.com/videos/Looking-Back-No-More">Myndflame</a><br /></div><br />It's finally ready - my first and quite probably last Aion machinima. My gametime ran out last week and I have no plans of buying more for now.<br /><br />I still have hope for Aion, it kept me playing the longest time of all 'new' MMO's I tried. The upcoming patches promise to bring easier leveling, but that's not enough to bring me back.<br /><br />Free tip for MMO developers: to defeat WoW, create something new. Do not copypasta the classes as they are in their archetypes. I want to replace WoW with something that feels refreshing and has new ideas and innovations. Machinima functionality would be a huge plus, but that's not necessary.<br /><br />I will still be following Aion on how it develops. I'll even make that Aion machinima tutorial, but now I just don't have the time for that.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.baronsoosdon.com/uploaded_images/whysoelyos-700249.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="http://www.baronsoosdon.com/uploaded_images/whysoelyos-700076.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>As for this video, making it was fun! I leaned a couple of new After Effects and Photoshop tricks which is always a plus.<br /><br />Spread the word about this machinima, I hope it inspires other people to try their machinimation skills on Aion!BaronSoosdonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07591206017848083263noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6249526726238383472.post-11151351897242580202009-11-08T00:59:00.006+02:002009-11-08T01:36:38.625+02:00For the lulz!<center>This saturday night, in the mountains..<br /><br /><br /><object width="380" height="287"><param name="movie" value="http://www.wegame.com/static/flash/player.swf?xmlrequest=http://www.wegame.com//player/video/Saturday-Night-Project-The-BS1506-Turntable"><param name="flashVars" value="xmlrequest=http://www.wegame.com/player/video/Saturday-Night-Project-The-BS1506-Turntable&embedPlayer=true"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><embed src="http://www.wegame.com/static/flash/player.swf?xmlrequest=http://www.wegame.com/player/video/Saturday-Night-Project-The-BS1506-Turntable&embedPlayer=true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="380" height="287"></embed></object></center><br /><br />Indeed, for the lulz!<br /><br />I wish I'd have over 9000 doctors degrees and the intelligence of a protection warrior in a high-end raiding guild so I could have done all this in a SRS BSNS 3D modeling program.
