The Video

I've been watching Game of Thrones on HBO recently, and I'm a huge fan of their intro. One of the first things I thought of when I saw it was that it reminded of StarCraft somewhat.

I had some free time earlier this weekend, and figured I'd try my hand at a custom map in the StarCraft II Editor to try and recreate a similar feel (if not look).

No post-processing was done beyond converting the Fraps video to something Youtube likes. All effects were done within StarCraft via the editor.

The camera movement is jerkier than I'd like, but it was my first time with the editor so... live and learn, I guess.



Here's the custom map in case anyone else wants to run it locally: GameOfThrones.SC2Map

To do, open up the SC2Map file in the editor and choose to test the document. Note that you'll probably need to set things pretty high. Specifically, iirc, depth of field effects are only applied when post-proecessing is set to Ultra.

My computer (or specifically, my hard drives) weren't fast enough to keep up with the required ultra settings. So if anyone else wants to upload a smoother version somewhere, go for it :D

Screenshots

It's easy to overlook some of the really nice visuals that the SC2 engine is capable of creating. Here're some screenshots straight from the editor:

Wow, man this is pretty awesome. Like not only did you do a great job with (btw i thought the camera felt fine, not really jerky at all), but I'm really impressed with the SC2 map editor.

thanks for sharing it. really really liked it! Would be cool to see some more stuff if you continue to play around with this style!

Wow what looked really nice. What would be really cool if you could include the exact same battles, but also having a sort of First-Person view of the thing, like you're a marine or zealot. You could probably pull it off by simply watching each battle unfold a few times, and finding out which units survive 'till the end, then putting the camera in their heads

I've been thinking about doing a first person-ish picture series of what a unit might be seeing during the average game. You know. Marines staring up at collosus. Marauders looking at phoenixes while lifted. Lings staring at a depot wall. Banelings staring at dirt while burrowed. Etc, etc.

I'll play around with the editor some more and see if I can get good enough to get those shots.

Really cool man,


Ive been following this for a while now, but I'm not really sure what to think of it at this point.

It's a game based on a TV show based on a book. I'm suspicious of it on principle

Is that tilt shift effect built into the editor as well or was that something you did afterwards?

It's built into the editor. SC2 in-game cameras have depth of field controls, which you can modify to get that effect.

Moved this out of blogs.

I love the Game of Thrones Intro so this was super cool.

Great job!

There was a mothership in that last battle with the collosus and ultralisks, though it was probably hard to see.

As for nukes, I tried (you can even see a single ghost in the final battle in the top right corner), but after spending 45 minutes trying to script a ghost so that it launches a nuke, I gave up

Disregarding the original intention of recreating that TV show intro....

using the tilt-shift photography technique on Starcraft II shots works surprisingly well! I love it, great job.

Wow, it looks real. It's almost like it's some kind of miniature Starcraft model set. If you made a real life one, I'd buy it.
