Heroes of Bronze is a personal CGI short film I've been working on for the past 4 years, a labor of love and an introduction to an era that I think is sorely missing from today's film and animation world. I am not a historian, nevertheless, I tried to do ancient Greece justice. I wanted to depict it as historically accurately as I was able, but at the same time, make it larger than life, the way it lives in my imagination. I am sure I've made errors, but despite that, I hope I was able to capture the spirit of ancient times and the Greco-Persian war period.
I plan to continue this project, but it largely depends on the support of the Patrons. On my Patreon, I will be sharing lots of behind-the-scenes, exclusive content, some of my 3D files, as well as short stories and larger parts of the Heroes of Bronze story.
I put together the majority of the scenes and assets in Blender, where I also rendered the shots. To help the process, however, it helped to use a lot of other specialized tools.
Absolutely essential for character meshes and animation were Reallusion's Character Creator and iClone, as well as the Rokoko suit for capturing my own animations. I employed Marvelous Designer for cloth simulations and Substance Painter for texturing most of the assets.
The Adobe package served well in postproduction and editing, I used Photoshop for still images, After Effects for compositing the shots, and Premiere for editing the video.
