Scotty Chase: 2075 - Pilot Made With DAZ & Renderosity Assets

I don't know how many here would be interested in our pilot, but it was made with many DAZ and Renderosity items - most will be easily identifiable. Many have been slightly altered and re-textured. All of the characters were created using Aiko3 and Hiro3 in Poser along with all of the morph targets for lipsyncing. We used motion capture for most of the biped motions and Lightwave for setup and rendering.

We know that it's VERY rough animation-wise - but as essentially the work of one person, it's not too bad. :) We're VERY aware of the shortcomings of this pilot - rough animation and story pacing - but it was pretty much a test project to evaluate a pipeline.


The pilot is currently being broadcast online - you can see where at our show website - www.scottychase.com.


We would GREATLY appreciate any and all positive reviews on the broadcasting website and even on our Facebook page. Tell as many as you can - the more positive ratings we have, the better chance we'll have of producing more episodes. And... with an actual dedicated crew (of writers, animators, etc.) the quality will increase by an order of magnitude - or three. :coolsmile:

Thanks for reading!

    Screenhits just hangs, can't select anything for the "Get it first" part, had to use search to see it, some people may have given up.

    Most impressive though, that's an insane amount of work for essentially one person. I hope you're able to continue work on this.


    Hopefully the DAZ/Poser community will realize that supporting stuff like this is in their best interest, especially for the content creators...

    I found I had to click in the empty space [nothing indicating need to] in order to get FF to bring up the allow something permission gadget.
    Had time to watch a little bit, looks interesting. Sadly no way to get an offline viewing though ... all one can get is that commercial.

    The site had crashed the night before and perhaps they were still working on it. I've had no problems (FF 31.0) in viewing it any time.

    Thanks, I really enjoyed working on it, though it did take quite a bit of time. ;) I come from an archviz background and this was the first time attempting anything like this. I hope to make more episodes, but it will all depend upon favorable ratings at ScreenHits and if any distributors are interested. The pilot is actually episode #1 (parts 1 &2 - 22 min each) and episode #2 (22 min) which takes place immediately after the pilot. I have episode 3 ready and storyboarded, but it takes lots of time and money to pay the voice artists, etc.

    Yeah, for the time being there is no way to view it offline. I understand that frustration since I like viewing things without having to be online as well. It's going to be at least six months before I can do anything else concerning viewing since ScreenHits is now the sole provider of the show. If we don't get enough favorable reviews, it will come down and that will be that.

    Hope EVERYONE reviews it and does so favorably. Then if we come back with more episodes - and they WILL be much better quality and have better pacing in the story - you will have had a hand in that. The more content available like this means more work for artists like this.

    Thanks!
