Horizon Zero Dawn - Animation Reel 

Which is a bit ironic since they're, you know. Machines.

@@natchu96 Not really, GAIA probably made them like that for a reason

@@___echo___ apart from this is a game written a designed by people....

@@natchu96 It's even more ironic because the foxes in this game are stiff like machines

@@NichtNameee what do you mean?

Thanks.. glad you liked it

I see these machines as living creatures.

Excuse me but would you please tell me why do you make they scratch their head? I know it looks more like a living creatures, but they are also robots, they have no itching sense. Please don't get me wrong. These animations are learning materials and I really want to know what did you think when you made them. Thank you in advance.

@@quanghuytran3717 Probably a inset is sucking the Blaze or oil from the wires of the machine, who knows!

@@quanghuytran3717 You probably should’ve actually tagged the content creator if you wanted them to respond but regardless I think you might’ve answered your own question. It’s most likely a creative touch added to make them appear more life-like and emotive despite being robotic automatons. I think one of the animators talk about it here but I haven’t watched the whole thing ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-50mIKB-NACU.html However from a practical in-game-lore point of view you could argue scratching like that is also just a simple action that helps remove debris from the their heads as opposed to having an “itch” sensation like real animals do. This animation is mainly seen on the Grazers and lancehorns who are blaze gathering terraforming-acquisition units that use their robotic “antlers” and “horn” apendages to dig into the soil throughout the day. Overtime one could expect debris like grass and dirt to mildly accumulate on their faces/optics so a little scratching may just help clear clumps of it away if necessary. G.A.I.A programmed the machines to have animal like behaviors in accordance to their chassis design. Not just to help accomplish their task in repairing the biosphere most efficiently but to fill the void left by the extinct animals that once roamed earth.

2:47 I think this also applies 😅

Lol

You're a Rockbreaker 😂😂

Loved animating them., was able to put so much personality in them because of that

Question, why cannot AI in games built into real world?

This technology was to advance, the machines could harvest energi from the earth, another from other machines. But i like the design. When i looked closer i can see carbon fiber skin.

Amirul Adli M. Sabri I'd assume it is because the entire world is defined in a video game, whereas in real life, it's not possible, or if it were, not particularly practical, to map out every groove and bump of the earth and thus, probably a problem with real-time terrain and obstacle detection.

And i can almost guarantee you military-grade drones will be the first to take that massive leap.

"adapt and to learn". Nothing about that is related to motor functionality and memory, or the fact you're a machinist/technician. That's Artificial Intelligence. It's more computer science than anything mechanical.

Imamsyah Akbar that's the animation you see in the game

That’s like looking at a painting and saying “that’s not a painting, but art”. Video games are a form of art.

@@drgonphart5415 they haven't been declared one of the seven arts (there would be 8 is they would be art) but I consider them art

TK-473 they consist of all different sorts of arts, put together to create something amazing

@@drgonphart5415 yeah I agree, but sadly many people don't see it that way

That’s so much praise.. i really appreciate that! So happy you picked up on that stuff.. that was the main goal when i started on the project, to make them feel like they belong in the world..

lmao

Yasha i heard it will be a sequel to this awesome game so hopefully they will make a variety of robots

Guerrilla Games say that they are working in a new game, and probably is Horizon 2

@@martinespinoza904 I'm 100% sure it's the next Horizon

Yasha Ты русский?

Yes there will be new machines because Hephaestus is no longer control by GAIA before the robota that he is creating is to help terraform the earth, now he can create any design and robot he can imagine

Thank you so much.. appreciate the kind words! I’m still the lead animator on Horizon Forbidden West.. 👍🏼

@@richardoud good luck, man, hope everything's going well there! can't wait for next year!!

@@richardoud We will have the same machines of Horizon Zero Dawn in Horizon Forbidden West?

Yes, exactly.. it has to do with size since there is no context with an environment/character, but all the attacks are also very specifically animated to work within the game camera.. if you’re interested, just search for my GDC talk where i very clearly explain this concept..

Oh hey :D

Aah that sounds like a great moment.. insane, still amazed by these stories 😋 and yeah, who doesn’t hate glinthawks..

Same here. :D

Is a game!?!?

@@emilyelliott408 Yes, "Horizon Zero Dawn" on Playstation 4 and now the PC.

They are from Netherland?!

Mini Kroasan Yes they are. To be specific: they are located in the capital city of Amsterdam

@@RAPTOR-bs7em woah!

bij de credits zag ik 60% nederlandse namen, ik was verbaasd guerilla games nederlands was lol

@@___echo___ wow ik ook ik kom da nu pas te weten

Thanks for playing and the kind words!

Thank you so much.. really appreciate the kind words and support

Haha.. that was actually pretty hard to edit and get it right 😋 glad you picked up on that..

Thanks.. glad you’ve had fun with the game

Thank you

@@richardoud Great job. Best of luck with your career!

Aight

Nautikient21 Aight

Thank you so much.. happy to hear you enjoyed it enough to go a second round

Thanks a lot!

Thanks buddy.. hope you’re doing well! Can’t wait to hear what you think of Forbidden West 👍🏼

@@richardoud oh man I am dying waiting for this game...it look fantastic 😁

Thanks for the kind words

Glad you enjoyed it

I did.. i’m the lead animator at Guerrilla, and for Horizon i was the only animator for the first 2 years of prototyping from the start.. so i got to do a lot of the machines on my own before i got my full team helping out after they were done with Killzone Shadow Fall! Thanks for the kind words.. appreciate that.

@@richardoud what did you use to do that? Maya?
