Rayman Pirate-Community

Hello everybody !
For the past 10 months I was working on a project to remake the Rayman 2 intro animation. I did everything from scratch in a 3D software called Blender. I used the render engine Octane render to render the scenes out and then made the post production in After Effects. I really hope you will like it I am so happy to finally be able to show this to everybody ! Here is the link to the YouTube video, watch in 4K and with headphones for best experience:

This is really stunning, I can only imagine how much work went into this! No wonder it took you ten months in total, not only does it look really, really good, I also like the artistic touch here, and the scene with the Lums scattering all over the Glade is a great addition. Again, great work here!

It is absolutely amazing, one of the best fanworks I have seen, thanks for sharing! Maybe you could start a Patreon and remake other cutscenes from Rayman or other retro games.

Thank you very much! I did think about patreon, but I do already have a fulltime job, so all of these would have to be made after work. Since this one took me 10 months to make I think the other ones also will take more that half a year and making updates so rare would not be fair to the patrons in my pinion. I will think about it though !

Thank you very much! A lot of work went into this yes, it was an amazing project to recreate my favorite game. I am so happy that I finally finished it and can show it to Rayman fans all around the world!

This looks incredible! Awesome work, I love it. Now I want to see more, but I understand it's not very likely given the time it took you. Still, a great tribute.

Absolutely amazing work! 10 months well-spent with Blender I say!

This looks really good, really well done. Nice work!

This is actually one of the greatest animations, I have been in a while. You have done a very good job sir!

This remake is just awesome!

I was surprised by the new scenes, and I appreciated these additions a lot. Good work!

Thank you all for the kind words ! I am so happy that people in the Rayman community like my work!!

Impressive! I watched your video with another person who grew up with Rayman 2 like me, you have our congrats for your amazing work!

That was one of the most amazing Rayman-related fanworks I have ever seen! Wonderful job!

I strongly encourage people to watch this video of terapop with Lokendens/TheMrLeoniasty, it includes a bts of how this amazing intro was made:

Already watched it, great interview!
I did not know how popular is Rayman in Poland, now I understand why most of my Rayman fan friends are Polish!

This was very instructive, thanks Lokendens for detailing all the process! This only stresses the crazy amount of work that went into this.

No problem ! I will be making a more detailed/organised breakdown of how I made the whole thing soon. It will be uploaded to my channel, so stay tuned !

I loved the video too, thanks Lokendens. I can't wait to learn more.

Hi, it's me again !
It has been a while, but it took me a lot longer than I thought it would but here it is ! I know a lot of you wanted to see this so here you go.
A CGI Breakdown of the Rayman 2 animation I have made a while back, hope you like it !

Very cool, nice work on the music syncing!

Since you ask at the end of the video, I think my favourite scene is the one with the Lums flying in. Not sure why, but it is!

Great stuff, thanks for sharing. It is difficult to pick one favorite scene, but I guess I'll also pick the part when you see the Heart of World actually explode and the yellow lums being scattered.
