  • An Unofficial WH CGI fan project
    Showcase of Part 1 and to honor artists that much of my work was inspired or influenced from as well as a dedication to oldhammer fans everywhere. This is not a 1:1 to part 1. The experience you will have with this is different from what you saw in the actual release.
    Unfortunately, a lot of my work in Part 1 wasn't presented well as my PC was limited in its rendering capabilities. For this, it's a straight forward 4k re render for certain shots so some issues technical may persist.
    This upload is by no means perfect, and learned that there are a lot of settings that need to be tuned to get a "smoother" flow. Working a lot of hours right now at my job so time is hard to find... This will have to do.

You've really portrayed and captured the essence of the grim dark setting, and especially what chaos/Warp is. I've watched your vid at least 4 times by myself haha.

    Thank you for this Mark. This composition is an ingenious way of exploring the artistry of the world you have crafted in Death of Hope, and the 4K rendering is perfect.
    Not only have you anchored your influences to their origins both old and new but also linked the original artists to the creations. The explanation of the story influences is fascinating and also directly silences some of the criticism you received when Reign of Anarchy was released, for example the mother and child fusion is a direct visualisation of an event in the Black Library novel “Honour The Dead”.
    I also really appreciate how this showcases your intricate creations - I saw so many details in the characters and settings that I’d missed in previous watchings when my mind was immersed in your story telling.
    I really appreciate you mentioning me in the credits and I’m deeply honoured to have my humble name associated with your masterpiece.
    Heritage - the perfect title.

      ​@Tactical Bacon Reddit has a love boner for the Astartes series and can't compartmentalise the fact that amateur work will provide amateur results and professional experience will provide higher quality results.
      So in their 10 IQ they've called Mark's work a walking simulator that doesn't make sense and have nitpicked every single detail because it doesn't live up to Astartes.
      This may or may not be true for some people, but it doesn't change the fact that you should be intelligent enough to have different standards for artists with different levels of experience and hardware.

      I don't get why they'd be comparing this to astartes anyway, aside from the aforementioned low IQ.
      Astartes is a small scale story about one mission by one chapter (about which most of us also knew jack shit, for the people complaining about DoH being convoluted). Death of Hope seemed to be a larger scale story involving at least a few different factions (ultramarines, world eaters in ep1 as example).
      So why are people comparing apples to oranges? Especially so beautiful an orange as this?

I get scared just watching the chaos traitors move around the depiction is that good. It makes me feel like if one was to stand before me then I would be but a twig before him. Its GREAT. Its incredible. No other video has been able to do this. Period. Not even the Astartes project. This is a more accurate depiction of the 40K universe and the characters within it than any other I have ever seen and I don't think that there is nearly enough recognition or credit given to that.
    In a word it is simply amazing and quite frankly that word is not enough.

    Ah. I know passion when I see it.
    I was only ever peripherally aware of Warhammer, but loved me some of that Event Horizon. Then someone told me that was a pretty good representation of warp-space in 40k.
    Played the DoW game, it was fun, but didn't exactly ooze grimdark. That meme that describes 40k warp travel? You know the one. I didn't see any representation of that in the games.
    Started watching Arch videos, and got the feeling that the grim stuff was not in the future at all, but the past. Like a part of the story GW would rather forget about.
    Astartes was awesome. Fast-paced, dense and effective. A good one-two punch. Definitely want more of that.
    Your stuff, though... That's something else. All atmosphere and autistic attention to detail. Grim. Dark.
    Something I'd like to bathe in.
    It's what I thought I would find in Warhammer, but couldn't see anywhere. So thank you for the sources, and thank you for showing me what you like. I like it too.

    Mark, as a person who has passion in art, as I tend to write more than I can animate or visually conceptualize a world you can build. You'll always have that moment, to say it's not worth it, or good enough...but, that's the price for having talent and having so many people talk shit. They can't be you, who can do it, believe me! I don't like ego, or having vanity yet objectively look at what you made and compare that as passion alone, for not being paid or being considered work, it's your project: No one can say they did it, but you. I'll stress that canceling Death of Hope is a bad decision, now more than ever we need people, fans or passionate souls who can bring back what Warhammer 40,000 is supposed to be...A Grim Dark Universe, that offers only absolution for those who hold true to endure horrors no man believe is real, yet are so closer to us than we realize.
    I implore you, ignore the 'negativity', get a laugh out of it if someone complains so badly? It means they're angered, because they can't do what you can. I can't even pull this off, since writing is limited yet I'm able to do things few keep grilling myself over. I do it for fun, not for professional funding or whatever, because this is the joy of being an artist. Whether Art is writing, reading, animation or drawing, it provides showcases of raw talent, it doesn't take a genius to realize this isn't something we're going to see again. And if GW is actively trying to suppress you, then I say...to hell with them, simply laugh at them and those in these comments below: "You can't censor, or stop me, because I can do this when you can't even decide if you're insane to believe Warhammer 40,000 is a safe place for your feelings."
    Either way, it's your decision and I hope you don't cancel or be demoralized. You did a great thing, it's a privilege to view artists who can bring life what many can't imagine. Nonetheless, I hope you're doing well and, as always, it's been a pleasure watching Death of Hope. May your soul decide upon an answer, if your own mind cannot be conclusive.

I'm working 8am to 3am most days sometimes 10am to 1am, for the past month, 6 days a week. Prior to that, death of hope ruined a lot of bridges in my life and back then I didn't care because I was using passion. That passion eroded over time with people talking shit. I was not meant for the world wide web. As someone who's stupid love language is words of affirmation, it was already a challenge facing all this before. Now? with what ZERO reserve I have for myself and my own relationship of 9 years, it is really not worth it at all. I'm delaying my marriage for this dam thing.

You must have 1 000 000, this is most realistic warp as i ever seen, totally unnatural for comprehension, beyons any structure of time and space, botomless pit of otherness, awesome work man, models of chaos space marines also super high quality, movie with this graphic will be 10/10

    The Word Bearers fighting pit music is brutal! So fitting! All round masterpiece Mark in every aspect, I was born 1990 and hooked by '96, so was looking at the great 90's artwork growing up, now I have a soft spot for the rogue trader era too, I just painted a very tiny chaplain who has a prime spot in the cabinet. The way in which a sci-fi universe has grown and been shaped by decades of input from hundreds of talented people like yourself and the familiar big names noted in the video is unparalleled anywhere else. It's something special, and something that should be preserved and guarded by the righteous! The Astartes!

    Again my sincere compliments. It was such a pleasure for me seeing a slow-motion, even better stills of the armour designs. As an aspiring 3d artist and long long time Warhammer fan and miniature painter who know and have personly seen all the reference you show it was truly a pleasure and inspiration watching this video. My compliments. Wish I could someday do a fraction of the cg modelling I saw here.

    @Mark Louis Spark I feel like you are one of the few, if not only, creators outside of GW that understand how brutal 40k is and how it should be depicted if this Universe were brought to life. Thank you for delving so deep into the lore and not explaining, or making it painfully obvious as to what is going on. I really appreciate the "wonder whats the deal with that marine or character in the background". This and many other details are what make a film great! Please keep up the awesome work!

    • @marklouisspark
      @marklouisspark  Před 4 lety

      That is the thing. I know how it's supposed to look or come close to looking due to me growing up with it and it directly influencing my artwork from child to adult.
      To know what something looks like and build it in CGI requires a fan that knows it all. I don't trust the world to depict it for us, because the hands that make things these days only ride hype trains or are paid to do it but never knew about warhammer till someone knocked on their door.
      This will be a memory for us in the times ahead :) But most importantly a tribute and honor to those that created i for us, lest they be forgotten decades from now.

    For the Emperor/Horus! Please accept my gratitude for this phenomenal effort. The talent and vision, albeit inspired is exceptional - the detail, in particular is wonderful! I've been enjoying 40K lore for the best part of 30 years and it's delightful watching some of the old models I used to see in my local GW come to life. I think my favorite on show here is the Exo armour. I always wondered how an operator (marine or reactor cleaner) would move in such a restrictive and bulky suit. Now I know and it's pretty damn fearsome! I hope you're encouraged to continue this labour of love. Best of luck Mark!

    i am at a loss for words. this, and the main episode (plus trailers of course) are the greatest fan-made creation i’ve ever seen. this video goes even further in depth and shows how much you love this. as a huge HH/30k fan the painstaking detail that is displayed is incredible. (also a massive fan of world eaters so that’s a nice bonus!) i only have one timy gripe and that’s that bolter rounds shouldn’t leave such clean holes. the dead bois floating in space look like they kinda got hole-punched (although the armor damage detail is fantastic!). bolters should leave a decent-sized entry hole, but the mass-reactive explosives should be leaving ragged, gaping wounds, armor blown out their backs, etc. that is my single point of barely-criticism, i think seeing another episode would make me happy beyond words. please continue creating content, i will be eagerly awaiting!
    p.s. i shared this video to my friends that are also into warhammer
    p.p.s. not to be that guy to flex donating but as soon as my next paycheck hits i’m visiting your patreon. you deserve massive amounts of support for this, and the fact that you’re doing this project solo makes it even more incredible. thank you for reading this if you got all the way down, and thank you for creating this absolute masterpiece!
