Build Log Animation Request Poll!

[Thermal]

Hey LTT community! (Again)

Sorry to mods if this belongs in off topic but it seems quite "On Topic" <3
 
Who Am I?
 
Hi I'm Harry, I am a Graphic Design/Illustration student in the UK and all round Design nerd! I am currently studying illustration with traditional media so this is a good chance to get back to my roots with vectors!
 
TL;WR
Pick a build from the list below that you want to see made into an Illustration, super simple!
 
What is this?
Who are you? What is this treachery!
 
This is a a result of this thread and also this Reddit post and the popularity my work has received from the tech community.
 


 
 
Basically the following 3 (read 4) builds are all in the running to be made into illustration similar to the ones above BUT with full animated build log included.

 

 
NZXT H440 "Hornet"

Following images are ENORMOUS.

Parvum S2.0 "Blue & Yellow"

Following images are ENORMOUS.

 
 
                                                                                                                                                      
 
So what are the Builds?

​                                                                                                                                                       
 

The List

The official list AND order in which request will be done. Do not dispute the list, it is God.

 

1. Sapphire R9 Fury TRI-X
2. Sapphire R9 280x Tri-X
3. MSI GTX 980 Twin Frozr V
4. Radeon R9 295x2
5. R9 Fury X
6. R9 Nano

 

This list is the final say, do not dispute or try to queue hop (unless you are a vendor and you have a new card that you want to secretly give me, that would be fine). 

These will be done at my discretion as they are done for FREE, please remember that!

 

 

No Longer Taking Requests

 
 
Common Questions
Cut down on Forum spam!
 
These are fake then, huh?
 
Nope, these are 100% my own work and each one is made up of between 100 and 5000 separate shapes all layered up to create the image you see above!
 
 
Soooo they're traced?
 
Still nope, they are measured before hand and the individual components get made and positioned, this is why there are a few mistakes and differences, this allows me to make them more "artworky" and less technical specs sheet!
 
 
I have seen these before, did you steal them?
 
If you have seen these before then you either follow my Instagram or are part of the PCMR sub-reddit. I do post their occasionally and I got a reasonable amount of publicity last year for a Parvum (awesome case makers) build that I animated!
 
 
Can I have these as a wallpaper?
 
Yes of course! All of the images linked here are wallpaper sized (3840x2160)
 
 
Can you do my build?
 
Potentially! This is why I am asking the LTT community if they're interested in voting on build for me to make, these of course are 100% free and would be entirely decided upon by community feedback. 
 
 
How long does it take you?
 
Depends on the complexity, a single GPU could take an hour while a fully animated build could take 2-3 days of work.
 
 
When will it be done?
 
If you're willing to pay, I can give you an end date. As I am doing this in my spare time for free, well I can give you a Linus deadline, "In the future sometime."

 

 

 

                                                                                                                                                      

 

 

Anything Else?

Is he still talking?

 

Nope that's it! Pick a build, peruse my work and maybe drop a request!

**Update 14/07/15**

 

I won't be able to respond to any questions today or tomorrow due to a planned power cut for the next 32 hours (I know, screw me right?). Sorry for any inconvenience!

That's so dope

[Senzelian]

That looks amazing.

Apart from the fact that the SP120s in the front of both of the animations you posted are the wrong way around, which would lead to negative air pressure...  :lol: JK, well done

The advantage of artwork is you don't have to worry about dust and can focus on aesthetics

Yup, thats true...

Hardly a fair fight! I have 2+ years of formal training and 5+ dicking about on varoius applications! 

[Thermal]

Just a quick update, I won't be available tomorrow or the rest of today due to planned power cuts (who does that?!) for maintenance.

LMG should be freelancing this guy for all their build logs. This is very good work, slow them down a bit and they'd be perfect.

 

Give this guy money, Linus.

[Delusional Phil]

Come on ... Let me see my suggestion ( GODLIKE ) come real ... 

 

@Thermal : Another suggestion would be a black and White build with a Z170 MSI SLI Krait and 4 GTX 980Ti Hybrid ...

Well if they want to talk I'm here! I'm in talks with some Vendors/Component companies atm though so not the end of the world if I can't add LMG to my clientèle list but it would be a dream come true!

Shhhh! That was for round two of the community choice! 

 

Have a friend who built with the Krait, such a beautiful board 

[daniellearmouth]

Welp. That's this thread favourited.

Seriously, they look really good. So good that I can't decide.

**Shameless Bump**

 
I needed a good reason to bump so I guess this is a good taster! I am back from my forced absence, power has been restored and it has caused a few issues. BUT, I come bearing some .gifs and a single new GPU! Hopefully I can sort out the outage related issues and be on my way but this won't effect the voting!   

Sapphire Fury Tri-X & The venerable Asus Strix 390x!

Huge images, you have been warned.

 

Sapphire Fury Tri-X Wallaper

[Gaveroid]

3dfx Voodoo5 6000.

 

Or an XFX R9 295x2, beautiful card (or a GTX Titan?).

 

Nice images, keep up the good work!

[Guest]

This is plain awesome

 

Is it possible for the EVGA Hybrid 980ti/TitanX to be made?

 

Plus how long did it take you to make these?

An hour for the GPUs up to about 8 hours for the more detailed motherboards and complete builds can take between 18-24 hours total work!

**Update**

I will no longer be accepting requests for graphics cards or motherboard after this post (17/07/2015) as I have filled up all the requests I had initially intended to take. Due to PettyOfficer117/GallowBoob managed to blow up my inbox with his post.

All requests should be completed by July 20th and will be posted here.

Thank you to everyone who made requests and thank you to the ones who have complimented my work and encouraged me along! Just because requests are over does not mean I won't be active! I do commissions if you are desperate to see a card made (see profile for pricing guide) but that will of course cost, I am not abandoning doing work I just managed to grow my presence a little too fast and need a pay gate to slow the requests down!

I will continue the "Community Votes" series and this will continue to run through to late August, remember:

** Voting will close on the 19th of July **

Once again a massive thanks to everyone on LTT for being super supportive, Reddit and Imgur were a little rough (I DO NOT TAKE REQUESTS ON REDDIT OR IMGUR) but I made it out alive! See you around LTT!

[Thermal]

**Update**

 

Deadline has been reached but we have a draw! As such I have taken the two winners and put them on a Strawpoll! 

I encourage everyone to go vote so we can sort this tie out post haste!

I want to ask, how do you make the animations? I've made a really rudimentary animation with afteraffects, but honestly, I don't have that much experience.

Just basic key framing in After Effects! It's nothing fancy, just getting use to easing in and out key frames so the motion looks natural and fluid, it's just practice!
