 That was a pretty cool looking animation scene, and the lighting you got out of Cararra is really sharp. How did you do the blood effects, is that a particle effect? Very nice work.

Thanks! The lights are a light set I got over at DAZ  that fakes global illumination. Much faster than actual GI. The  blood sprays are metaball particles.

I wanted to mention that, in druid history, the nite of long knives refers to the saxons'
slaughter of the britons during the reign of arthur's predecessor.  then a later group of saxons
came and finished off arthur (romano-british).  I thought drew's video was pretty good.

 Very impressive!

Thanks! I'm glad you all have enjoyed it.

Miss Nancy, it also was used to describe a series of assassinations by Hitler and the SS. I  googled the name to make sure it hadn't already been turned into a movie or anything and that was the first thing that popped up. Makes me wonder which one Fritz Leiber was referencing.

There was once a movie called "The Damned" (1969) by Luschino Visconti, who did a midway re-enactment of the event you described. 

Pretty shocking.

There's really nothing the Nazis did that isn't shocking. The Fritz Leiber book seems to only have used the name. The book itself is much more anti-war and violence, despite the name and associations with it. In fact the scene I animated is just mentioned and not in any great detail. The narrator simply mentions that this scene happened just before the book begins. I more or less wrote the scene based on a few sentences.

If anyone is interested, the book can be downloaded free and legal from Project Gutenberg: http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/25024
