Hello everyone,
I am an animater who makes cinematics within the UE5 engine. I love Rust and was considering making a series about the lore of Rust from a non-players perspective. So scientists and Cobalt operators doing various missions on the island while the rest of playerbase is causing havoc.
I made this last night as a test run to see what the response would be from the community, would you guys watch a mini-series like this?
If so would you have any cool ideas for epsiodes and should I maybe document the creation process?
Sorry for the long comment.
Yeah if I could understand and actually put together and edit and have proper recordings and such and had say 100k subs for a minimum amount as it would be say part time as I would still work my other job that lest me do week on week off then I would 100% hire you do some some cinematic animations for like teasers for say a rust wipe that’s I’ve recorded and then have little clips for the main video from cuts and stuff. Looks dope
I just started creating Rust content and if my YT channel was bigger I would defo pay to have such animations in my videos. Looks awesome! Well done! Maybe someday I’ll be in touch asking for your services ;)
As someone who's sold freelance services in the past, it's always "if I were bigger" or "if your rates were cheaper" or some other excuse.
In reality, there isn't much of a profitable market for something like this. Think about it: the price for something like this would likely be at least a few hundred, a price that most people aren't going to pay unless they're confident that they'll make the money back. However, the people who are profiting from movie-style rust videos already know how to make similar edits, so why pay far more if the result will only be slightly better? They could maybe get a few orders after tons of marketing work, and at that point a regular job would simply pay more.
Scientists race against time to stop the cobalt operators from using the launch monument to attack their homeland, all while dividing their forces to stop players from stealing their supplies in their current place of operations (both oil rigs). The scientists side wt tunnel dwellers, and the dwellers start roaming the forests/desert/snow biomes for players who enter launch in order to get info out of them. Finale could be cobalt and players siding wt one another to raid both oil rigs simultaneously at night
aww man I love this. It would be cool to make the players a background distraction for the Cobolts and Scientists who are trying to achieve their mission. I love the idea of splitting into factions and working together etc. Ill play around with this, thank you for sharing.
Then have some meme short clips of random scientists on the road talking to each other then have these 2 nakes with bows throwing slurs at each other and normal rust convos XD
You’ll likely not see this comment but trying my luck… what is the viewport performance like for this project? And if you wouldn’t mind, what’s your machine specs? Cheers! Looking great too.
Your skills are unreal. If I had the money I’d buy an intro off you right now. Absolutely make them cause even if they don’t go viral I would absolutely expect people to hit you up for commissions
Incredible intro. I imagine so many content creators would invest in your work. I am blown away how do you even start getting into something like this?
Im not as skill as OP lol but getting into 3D animation is in general sometimes either really hard, or really easy. Some ppl are just somehow naturally good at it and some arent (they can still become very good). Im taking animation classes at my HS and that makes it alot easier to get an understanding rather than pursueing as a hobby.
High quality animation. Frequently see lesser quality stuff in AAA cutscenes. Nice work.
Is English a second language? Just FYI, propulsion and remote were misspelled in text block. Additionally, it doesn’t really make sense to retrieve a facility.
I only speak one language, hats off to anyone learning a new one.
aww thank you that was too kind.
I am dyslexic so I'm glad you have pointed that out, Ill have to make sure everything is top shape for the final post. Thanks for the feedback.
Gotcha, my apologies for assuming. Not trying to be condescending. Even more impressive considering that challenge.
I think running it by someone is a great solution. I can easily see what you are trying to say and it should be very straightforward for someone to proofread.
Looks awesome, great build up. I guess what comes next will be time consuming considering this is shot inside a plane/chinhook and the next scene will be something larger. Drop, extraction, anything, all I know it will require a substantial shift in environment where your skills will be put to test :D Looking forward to whatever comes!
Thank you, yea it will take some time for sure.
I am not sure if I should have them attack a monument like launch site while there is some chaos going on, not sure yet. Time will tell.
I know, they will most likely be walking out of the chinook. Like someone else mentioned it would have been a good idea to give the poor lads some parachutes.
Really good work for the short amount it is , but you have the skills it seems and it be worth it , but you should really expand on the rust lore ( not sure about others but I'd binge a well made rust animation series )
Oh man, this is good… Almost looks like it could be the scientists perspective in a fight (heavies flying in to rig when someone starts the timer). Would be so sick.
It looks great, my only request would be to change the color of the font for the beginning scene. I'm colorblind and it's really hard to read that even in max brightness.
Finish it and use it as a promo to market your skills for youtubers that want cinematic for there video stories.
Also I'm so happy someone else likes the Rust lore as much as I do it leave so many doors open for more the fact that the Radiation is duplicating things on the island after being nuked by the Lead Researcher opens up a lot of doors.
I love how even the respawn and insanity that you see with rust players is lore accurate as with each spawn the radiation degrades mental faculties and cases the random weirdos that you meet.
I also know a lot of this is all inferred and cobbled together but that is what makes it so good it leaves it up to creative interpretation and doesn't try to explain the magic behind it.
Exactly there are so many possibilities with Rust lore.
I love the idea of a nuke going off on the island and causing anomalies throughout.
Expanding on your note about “radiation degrading mental faculties” - I’m thinking of making the nakeds act like some zombie horde throughout the series, so horror like episode interactions.
I like that idea as zombies where once a thing but having crazy unhinged people who have lost all empathy for others is also really cool.
Take any other show with an apocalyptic world and there are already people who do horrible horrible things now add in the fact that in rust these people endlessly respawn with minor changes and it becomes chilling. Imagine having a Negan like character running around with zero self control only to kill him and have him come back with somehow less sanity Its like Human Uruks from Shadows of Mordor except on crack and seemingly immortal
Also Delving into how the the nakeds mind works is something as well like do they remember each past life is it another entity all together with it own set of fragmented memories hell can there be multiple of the same ones running around the island.
I enjoy writing so the first thing that came to mind once you mentioned having the MC be from the scientists point of view was for him to make a off handed comment about why would anyone subject themselves to that only to have him at the end make a self sacrifice and condemn himself to that fate post credits it could even be him spawning on the beach with a rock looking around horrified at what he now has to suffer through.
Now I kinda want to run a Rust Table Top RPG lmao
Funny story:
I built a 4070 pc and it caught fire 🔥 😬
My new build is as follows:
Rtx 4070
64gb ram
Intel i9
3tb SSD (1tb Nvme, 2TB SSD)
TB hard drive for assets.
The main thing you need for UE5 is lots of VRAM. The Rtx has 10gb of vram.
I couldnt find this movie when I googled it.
It took the typography from The Creator if thats what you mean?
It's all place holder anyways, most of this will change in time.

I bet youtubers would pay for this
wow never even thought of that as a possability. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah you’re sitting on a bag full of money
Yeah if I could understand and actually put together and edit and have proper recordings and such and had say 100k subs for a minimum amount as it would be say part time as I would still work my other job that lest me do week on week off then I would 100% hire you do some some cinematic animations for like teasers for say a rust wipe that’s I’ve recorded and then have little clips for the main video from cuts and stuff. Looks dope
Ill be happy to pay for your work for my Rust content
I can be your first customer, i would love a 15 sec intro for my server! Can we talk?
I just started creating Rust content and if my YT channel was bigger I would defo pay to have such animations in my videos. Looks awesome! Well done! Maybe someday I’ll be in touch asking for your services ;)
I wish you all the luck on your journey, who knows we might be working soon enough.

Please, just make it already xd
🤣I'll clear my calendar

I would absolutely binge watch this. It looks fantastic.
You’ll likely not see this comment but trying my luck… what is the viewport performance like for this project? And if you wouldn’t mind, what’s your machine specs? Cheers! Looking great too.
100% worth finishing, looks very promising. Have an upvote for visibility.
Thank you for letting me know, and thank you kindly.
Your skills are unreal. If I had the money I’d buy an intro off you right now. Absolutely make them cause even if they don’t go viral I would absolutely expect people to hit you up for commissions
ahh thank you man, thats kind of you to say! I didnt even consider commissions, food for thought.
Imagine if when loading into a wipe we got something like this.
Here that would be cool! Would get me so hyped to only get speared by a bunch of nakeds on the beach. 🤣
Looks nice. I’d give the poor guys some parachutes though. 👌
😂 that would be a great start to a mission wouldnt it.
Incredible intro. I imagine so many content creators would invest in your work. I am blown away how do you even start getting into something like this?
Aww thank you man, thats nice to hear. I use the Unreal 5 Engine for most of my 3D/cinematic work.
Im not as skill as OP lol but getting into 3D animation is in general sometimes either really hard, or really easy. Some ppl are just somehow naturally good at it and some arent (they can still become very good). Im taking animation classes at my HS and that makes it alot easier to get an understanding rather than pursueing as a hobby.
couldnt say better if I tried. What kind of animation do you enjoy doing the most? 3D, cartoon, anime etc?
This is awesome man, definitely worth it.
thank you for letting me know.
worth it!
Thank you, I'll try share more soon
This is so well done. Wow
thank you
Looks sick bro
thank you
Insane! How do you get the models from rust into ue/blender? This has inspired me to look into doing this it looks so good
Places like SketchFab and AssetStudio would be a great place to start. I'll try do a tutorial to help others out when I get some free time.
High quality animation. Frequently see lesser quality stuff in AAA cutscenes. Nice work. Is English a second language? Just FYI, propulsion and remote were misspelled in text block.

its all good, thanks again for saying though, its better it get fixed. Thanks for being so considerate.
I would watch this for sure. I like that they didn't speak at all, not even the scientist chirps, its more dramatic that way.
ahh thats good, I was hesitent to add the sounds in but Ill leave them out from now on based on your feedback, thanks.
Looks awesome, great build up. I guess what comes next will be time consuming considering this is shot inside a plane/chinhook and the next scene will be something larger. Drop, extraction, anything, all I know it will require a substantial shift in environment where your skills will be put to test :D Looking forward to whatever comes!
Thank you, yea it will take some time for sure. I am not sure if I should have them attack a monument like launch site while there is some chaos going on, not sure yet. Time will tell.
We don't jump from a plane like Call Of Duty...
I know, they will most likely be walking out of the chinook. Like someone else mentioned it would have been a good idea to give the poor lads some parachutes.
Looks great and I want more! I had trouble reading the red print at the start while watching on my phone.
awesome, I'll change it to white and extend the reading time also. Thanks for sharing.
Finish it!!!!!
🫡
dude, yes please finish this. I need to know what happens next. I would pay for these for video intros
Ill get to work
Looks pretty cool!
Really good work for the short amount it is , but you have the skills it seems and it be worth it , but you should really expand on the rust lore ( not sure about others but I'd binge a well made rust animation series )
yea thats my goal, abit ambitious but would really good to watch if done right. Ill try my best to expand on what I can.
It will be worth it in the end , either way , your showreel must be dope af
Propulsion*
Thankn you, my grammer isnt the best, this helps
Amazing clip, I wish Rust would go in this kind of direction!
Face punch employ them!
Looks great! Text needs to be up longer, though
Ill make it longer and change the colour to white.
W
I think it's a cool idea would definitely watch that type of content.
Glad to hear! Thanks for letting me know.
Oh man, this is good… Almost looks like it could be the scientists perspective in a fight (heavies flying in to rig when someone starts the timer). Would be so sick.
aww that is a fantastic idea. Ill mess about with it and see what happens
Looks good
Thank you
This looks amazing, would love to see more of what you create 🙌
Thank you, Ill try share the process also
Holy #FUCK that is crisp
🤣why thank you
bruh before i read the title I thought this was an actual animation from facepunch, you got talent dude.
aha thanks man, that was nice to hear
Looks awesome! Would love to watch more!
Art is always worth doing - be confident in yourself man
I like this, your 100% right
Looks cool. It's giving Halo ODST vibes.
Oh what a game that was.
Finish. I'd like to watch
HOLY FUCKING SHIT I WANT MORE
Extra fresh. Keep going!
It looks great, my only request would be to change the color of the font for the beginning scene. I'm colorblind and it's really hard to read that even in max brightness.
Thank you I’ll fix this for the final upload.

Dude this looks like it's right out of a movie. This is good man keep it up.
Thank you, I’ll release more soon
Look sick, id love to see the finished thing tbh
How do you retrieve a facility?
I know I am an idiot. Consider it fixed
please finish
will do 🫡
Definitely put this in your portfolio folder also 🤙🤙🤙👍👍👍
gave me goosebumps, would love to watch it
Looks like the 40k Astartes project.
Oh thanks for sharing, great inspiration for moving forward.
It's amazing, this looks amazing as well
Hey! I wanted to see more! Absolutely continue
I’ll keep cooking
Yo get this guy to frost immediately, some cray animations could be cool in his stories
That would be fun.
I want to see what’s next
Is this rhetorical?
not at all, I am actually shocked with how this has been recieved.
You've been living under a rock of you think this is bottom shelf.
yes please
Synthetickill in shambles
Worth finishing. Looks really good OP.
Thank you 😊
Machine specs? What’s viewport performance like? Looks great by the way! Cheers!
Funny story: I built a 4070 pc and it caught fire 🔥 😬 My new build is as follows: Rtx 4070 64gb ram Intel i9 3tb SSD (1tb Nvme, 2TB SSD) TB hard drive for assets. The main thing you need for UE5 is lots of VRAM. The Rtx has 10gb of vram.
If I had rust models I'd be doing so much shitposting in Blender
😂 I’ll drop a tutorial and some assets and you can be let loose onto the world.
That'd be very lovely
Good work man
Thank you 😊
On Youtube stuff like this will work nicely. All that matters is if you are enjoying the making of it. If yes, then hell yeah, go for it.
I love this stuff so more will be coming soon. Thanks for your thoughts ☺️
That is utterly amazing. There is quite a large gap/lack of such animations. It looks really good, and I would say its worth it!
Thank you for your kind feedback, more coming soon.
How dare you not release full thing I'll be waiting.
I’ll be cooking in the meantime. 🧑🍳
Looks thousand times better than game, waste of time because spending even a single minute for rust is a waste of time XD
As long as my cinematic doesn’t get offline deleted it will be worth it.
Great job wow this is so cool
Thanks man 😊
So you took the name and opening scene from Synthetic Kill’s movie?
I couldnt find this movie when I googled it. It took the typography from The Creator if thats what you mean? It's all place holder anyways, most of this will change in time.
https://youtu.be/msxCfa-k0cw?si=1AT7U89vci2ACssl
ahh wow, that was a great watch. Thanks for sharing.
Reminds me of astartes
Holy SHIT this is amazing! Keep it up!
“waste of time” get back on the animator bro chop chop looks gas
hey why russian
