Hey Steve,  
to be honest: I find your post a little confusing…

- the kickstarter is for a computer-game?
- You modeled the “Alphanado” and the EMP-Device in Shapr3D?
- What Software did you use for the rendering/animations?

Tell us a little about the workflow.  
Apart from the confusion: Nice Work!  
Cheers Matt

Hi Matt,

Sorry for any confusion. I will attempt to clear it up…

> the kickstarter is a computer game?

No. ALPHANADO is a physical card game.

_However, if the KickStarter is successful then I will certainly consider producing an ‘APP’ version of the game._

> You modelled the ‘Alphanado’ and th EMP-Device in Shapr3D

Yes, both the ALPHANADO and the EMP Device (along with the HYPER Pods) were modelled in Shapr3D

> What Software did you use for the rendering/animations?

I rendered the models in Shapr3D. However, the ALPHANADO benefited from some colour adjustments in Affinity Designer.

I do not have any animation software so I created a stop motion sequence the ‘old fashioned’ way.

> Tell us a little about your workflow.

Basically, for both the ALPHANADO and the EMP Device, I created many ‘instances’ of each model by transforming a copy of the specific models.

I then hid all instances except for the desired one.

It was then relatively easy to render the model with Shapr3D visualization and capture a frame before hiding one instance of the model and revealing another one.

I did it this way so that I would not have to risk moving the model between frames. I just simply hid/revealed the instances of the model that I desired.

_It’s a shame that Shapr3D doesn’t have a feature where a camera view could be set/locked like that in SketchUp._ - @Istvan

Once I captured all of the Shapr3D model images I proceeded to load them onto the timeline in iMovie for playback.

For the top down view of the card game in play, I performed a similar technique in affinity Designer. After first creating the images I created ‘instances’ of each card movement/placement before hiding/revealing the desired cards for image capture.

In all, I created 1058 images from Shapr3D and Affinity Designer to create the video. It was an extremely tedious task!

I hope this explains everything. 😄

The animations are nicely done! Excellent job.  
I’m curious, who is doing the voice over? Is it you?  
(It sounds like Sean Bean to me.)

I can’t believe you recognised my best mate Sean.  
He frequently pops by for a cuppa and a chat so I asked him when he was over last week to help me with the voice over for my campaign.  
He was keen to help and…

Okay, okay enough BS! 🤣

Yes, it’s my voice. I attempted to do a cinematic voice over but I think it sounds awful 🤣

Nice work Steve. A Labour of love by the look of it.
