And while BLOPS 3 was a good game on the PC, XBone and PS4, the last gen was pretty awful with no campaign, horrible frame rates, terrible performance, potato graphics, no DLC and sloppy animations. I wanted to do this concept as a silly little April's Fools riff for about a year now, however I've never actually played Black Ops 3 or 4, and thus have no loyalty to any weapon. However, a friend on Discord suggested doing the Argus, resulting in one of my favourite animations to make. Also, this is the last animation to be made on my old ASUS laptop. A farewell to the overworked little computer that got me to where I am today. I'll be picking up and setting up my new computer as this uploads, so hopefully we'll see how it goes. Also I learned how to composite, as well as acidentally learning motion blur (which I didn't use, but nice to know), so hopefully I can make use of them in the near future. Made in Blender 4.0 and rendered at 60 FPS in Cycles with 250 samples and a noise threshold of 0.01. And as a treat given that I had time and this'll be my laptop's last animation, this is my first video rendered from Blender in 4K at 3840 × 2160 pixels. Will probably have a few teething issues getting the next video out, given I have to transport, build and set up a new PC before transferring everything over, upgrading Blender and getting myself familiar with a new layout, but I should be pretty good going into winter. Otherwise, take care and have a good one!
