A 3D model of the Imperial Walker (AT-AT) seen in The Empire Strikes Back. Modelled and animated in 3D Studio Max. Imperial Walker walks for 10 mins+ several events. I made everything but the Snow Speeder and obviously the Star Wars sound effects, which were sampled from Empire Strikes Back and some sounds from SW BF.

It sounds and looks terrifying and overpowering, imagine seeing that in trenches marching towards you I would shit myself

I'm already scared tho
O_O
Yeah because 22,5 meters hight metal walking thing isnt very nice
9:40 I cried.
Truly hypnotic. I find this both fascinating and relaxing. I had no idea so many parts on the legs would move that much.
I love the thumps of the ATAT sound walking.
Glad to see there were no mistakes with the knees bending backwards as is often the case with so many home made / scratch built models.
Play this on ur phone. Turn the volume all the way up, place it in a room at work and hide it. The reaction is great.
Thanks for uploading this man...I know I might sound weird but I find this very soothing and I kept on listening to this all day.
Impressive. Most impressive. I really love how you replicate all the complex details of the walk.Thank to your amazing work and awesome study I just saw the first time that there are moving shock absorbers at the top of the feet.
One day a toy should be able to walk this way... I would be the first to get one. :-)
Thanks for the comment. I seen one video of a spanish guy who rigged up a model of the AT-AT with motors so it actually walks properly except for the shock absorb pads and pistons. The original stop-motion models were fully actuated so when you moved a leg the pistons would automatically move as well. I'd love to see an accurate toy/model motorised but I'm afraid it would be quite costly.
so nice to read your comment. You must have so much knowledge about this thing to be able to create this nice animation. Fantastic.
I saw the little motorized model with the hypnotizing movements made by youtubemeber "AdrianoATAT", too. I thought about making a similar thing by using an arduino and a servo for every single joint but this is a big challenge to me. I wondered how AdrianoATAT managed this already ten years ago (probably without any arduino) and using this very small device... Now I see the 3d-printed AT-AT made by "P Lh" ("3D Printed Walking AT-AT remixed video 2"): he uses just the gravity and genius/ sophisticated but quite simple moving mechanic (the big amount of gears is just to save some motors and controls). So to cut a long story short: I think it is possible to make a walking model without making it too expensive... next project in my head... nooooooooooooo.... ;-)
A machine like this is largely impractical as it is. the only guns and lights on the thing are pointed forward and the head can only turn about 45 degrees to either side. it is incredibly vulnerable from every other angle, especially from infantry and fast moving aircraft like speeders. Those big flat sides may be impenetrable to blaster fire, but there's nothing stopping someone from tying the legs up or boarding it from below with grappling hooks. The only real protection these things have besides their armor would be any escorts they may have moving beside or behind them. why don't they have, like, small anti-air or anti-infantry guns on the flanks or rear? it's not like there's no room. Then it would be like a walking battleship and practically unstoppable.
I've often wondered the exact same things, I actually made a 'modded' design that addresses these issues. The square turrets you see on the surface of the death star, I mounted four of those on top, on each corner of the largest square section, this would cover the walker from any fly-by's. I also mount two turrets on the bottom in the middle between the legs and drive motor, this covers any would be Luke Skywalkers from sabotaging from underneath. I also figured the slits that you see along the sides of the walker could be like medieval arrow slits but for anti-air calibre laser cannons. I tried a number of solutions of added guns or turrets to the sides but nothing really looks like it belongs. I think that's why they didn't have the thing bristling with weapons to begin with, to give it a more simple, iconic look. I think they just wanted it to be the space version of war elephants and having them with only guns on the heads makes that comparison clearer. Also there's the question of how these things were deployed and how did they load and unload storm troopers. I showed one method of deployment that I found in the EU. Apparently troops were mainly deployed by a winch system but they also supposedly had 5x snow speeders in the back with no way of unloading them. Another thing is these things are supposed to be flanked by AT-ST's which are supposed to keep them safe from closer ground assault and fly-by's. You say the head could move 45 degrees? According to my model, it can really only move a maximum of 35 degrees. I believe though that the cable used in ESB to trip them wouldn't be thick enough to prevent the walkers from snapping the line with their powerful legs. There are really so many practical problems with the entire battle of hoth sequence that don't really make a whole lot of sense, I know because I've watched it about a million times and studied the life out of it, but I think that's Star Wars in general, so long as you don't look too close, it's amazing.
Well an At-At is usually deployed with a 2 At-St accompaniment. At-Ats are the heavy artillery, while the At-Sts are the infantry deterrent.

It's for plot convenience, my friend
I beleve that if it were flanked then there would probably be some E-webs and other weapons mounted in the main deployment hatch and the other panels you see on the sides.
Impressed that you made the animation stutter when he falls just like in the movie
I tried
0:19 at-at noise from star wars rogue squadron for the nintendo 64 and pc
Thanks for this. I'm working on making a laser cut version of the AT-AT. This helps a lot.
Imagine being chased by this. You run as fast as you can forward and you don’t want to look back. All you hear is this mechanical beast slowly catching up to you, and the legs stomp on the ground shaking everything around it.
Loop it, and it'll go on forever. You're welcome.
seems like each cycle is about 5 minutes, and there are two cycles
Can you do a simulation of an AT-TE walking?
Anything is possible. :)
Can you please do it, i have been looking for someone as great as you to do it but I have had no luck
Or an AT-OT
xbaxdark If you can do an AT-OT simulation
I’d love an atte
A satisfying loop of walk
This is so pleasing
Needed this knowledge for a video game I'm developing. Ty very much!
Amazing work
I almost don’t know why watching this thing is just totally enjoyable!
crazy and huge. a AT-AT is about 60 FEET high!!!
The proper measurement would be meters. And the At-At is 20 meters tall
The fact that this is 10:00 just makes me happy
It's really 5mins looped once but yeah :)
This is the best AT AT walking motion I have ever seen 👍🏻👍🏻
Amazing walk cycle
Do AT-M6 walking maybe.
thanks! loads of help setting up my lego at at
10/10 this is freakin amazing!!
This is just so cool!
i think those are portholes on the sides of the Walker to allow troops to have a range of fire from inside, considering it held a decent amount of troops as well
Yeah that's what I said, they always seemed like the star wars version of castle arrow slits.
Is it okay for me to find this satisfying?
I'm about to embark on trying to animate an AT-AT for a 2600 Empire Strikes Back remake. This is excellent, although I'm a bit daunted to get the animation even close to this good!
I love the headlights on the walker
Nice work
Epic. Programing nice sound i think its great
This is oddly satisfying
WOAH! NICE!
I love Atats good job!
This is great.
Thanks Garret
why is this entertaining wtf
realy nice
Makin my way down town
my favorite machine in Star Wars
Mine too :)
Now I know how to position my Lego at-at legs :D
i like the video!
But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
To fall down at your door
At-At At! At-At At! At-At-At! At-At At-At At-At!
Imagine an At-At with a Gustav heavy rail way gun to wither rebel targets down from a long range then it normally could
Exist its called at ic
watch this while listening to klendathu drop, it fits really well.
indeed!
Yes I will always enjoy AT-ATs and even The New AT-M6. Yes I am aware bigger isn't always better. But i like the Idea of stomping obstacles with easy like a 20 to 30 foot high wall might stop a traditional tank or a smaller walker. Where the AT-AT is like your walls are no match for me lol. Also When employed by brilliant commanders like General Veers AT-ATs are more than capable of leaving a path of destruction and doom in their wake. Now Given he did have some losses but at least spread his walkers out to provide mutual support from air speeders and his was destroyed by dirty kamikaze rebel speeder rebel scumb lol. Also the although the AT-M6 may look silly to some because its almost twice the size of a normal AT-AT. Although it even shares some of the same weaknesses it addresses problems to like being more stable for the massive gun that also prevents it from being tripped.It may also have the same exposed neck spot I think with just being bigger and more armoured in general the weak points would be stronger than the regular AT-AT not saying they aren't vulnerable or immune with similar weak points I just think It could take a hell of lot more punishment then the Standard AT-AT. And see both types together really make for powerful force along with the smaller AT-STs.They aren't every day assault vehicles for the empire or first order. But when they are needed for specific ground assault mission like in the Battle of Hoth that where their usefulness shines. I like to think of AT-ATS and AT-M6s as the walkers the empire and first order send in when you have really pissed them off and they are out for blood and as the rebels to have to be prepared to to evacuate or hold the dam line with everything you got and usually the rebellion choices the former as they don't have firepower or man power for long bloody extensive fights. Which such heavy assaults mechs are designed while having support as well. You may laugh at them all you want but if you were a rebel who saw his friend flattened by one these behemoths I think you would be running for the hills lol cause I know I would.
someone should make a GIF of this
AT-AT's have a top speed of 37mph, or 60kmh. How the hell are they supposed to go that fast?
That's just expanded universe bs, expanded SWU loves to over explain and hype things up. It's been determined through careful analysis that the top speed of an AT-AT would actually be around 5km/hr, which is like casual jogging speed for the average human. I think the idea (that gave them practicality) was that the snow on Hoth was deep and difficult to traverse and AT-AT's being very hardy did not require the (BS plot device) retrofitting for the extreme cold like other vehicles such as the A-Wing. This is also the same (bs plot device) excuse used for why Tie fighters were not present in the battle of Hoth. Keep in mind in reality an AT-AT would be very prone to tipping side to side and most likely collapse under it's own weight. The primary joints in legs/hips/knees would most likely snap under the weight as well. I suppose we can always imagine them being made of some super strong, light weight space metal that makes it possible. At the end of the day these things were designed to look cool on screen first and foremost and look functional second. If we assume the foot pads have significant weight to them, they make it believable that they could potentially 'anchor' it to the ground and prevent tipping.
“okay troopers this is your stop”
“disembark-*falls*
Can you do a waking simulation of AT-M6?
lol if you loop the video it keeps droping a new one ever 9 min at 40 sec
That's the idea. :)
We spotted imperial walkers!
Imperial walkers on the north bridge
Imponente!
I had nightmares about these things.
My favorite part of Star Wars is the AT-AT part.
Well if you think about it the at ats only attacked both from the front so it doesn’t really need to shoot behind it 4:32
Such a poweful and humongous machine that is resistant to normal blasters and air fire.
Gets tripped by a 50 foot shoe-lace.
Kinda hard to be a powerful and humongous machine when you have your balance disrupted.
hi
i need this mode with walking (.fbx)
can you sell model with animation for 70$
We have at this moment the technological ability to make a war machine far more advanced than the AT-AT walker.
Hello xbaxdark. Would you please explain how the hell you rigged the leg? I tried for years now but can't figure out how to achieve it. My Setup is made out of two joint chains but i can't get the damn shock absorbers working. I mean the foot interacts with the floor and from then the absorber should go into the foot. No idea how to do it without faking it?
If you have the main leg rig working right then good on you, that was the hardest part for me to figure out. For the shock absorb animation I actually had two methods. The first method I tried was linking the animation of the shock pads to a slider, so I could easily animate it again and again using the slider. Ultimately I felt this was too much work as well, what I ended up doing was using 3ds max's reaction manager to make it so the shock pads would automatically compress when the hit the floor. RUclips or google search 3ds max reaction manager and I'm sure you can figure it out. If I remember correctly I did something along the lines of restricting vertical axis movement so it could not go below the floor and then making it so the shock absorb goes down at a slower rate and stops sooner than the rest of the foot. So the foot portion can stop at 0, but the shock absorb is constrained to stop at 5 or what ever the height value I ended up setting it to. Hope that helps.
that walking sound comes from star wars battlefront
I find it funny with hiw george managed to kake this thing so well, it could work in real life
I dont think these things can turn 180 degree to the left or right
They can turn, albeit only a small amount at a time. I wouldn't even say they have a turn radius it would be more of a gradual arc. There is a scene in ESB where one AT-AT shows uncharacteristic versatility as it side steps and shoots a snow speeder out of the air. Having modelled the walker I can say the design doesn't look as though it would support that type of motion but the stop-go-motion models clearly were articulated to perform such actions.....draw your own conclusions. Myself I think the design for these things in practicality is pretty dumb, but regardless they look awesome.
I like it when it was night with the lights so mabey try to make a night environment with lights and mabey even make it shoot (these are just suggestions)
Thanks for the comment, this video is really just a glorified walk cycle video. My thinking behind the time lapse days/nights passing by was sort of a joke, it's to imply that the AT-AT's are so slow that after being deployed it actually took them days to reach the rebel base. Also you'll notice that I use the time lapse period to apply a 'patina' effect by slowly fading the texture map in. I'd like to do more videos with the walker in the future but I've just been really busy lately.
we need this in green screen top
Me walking to school when its snowing 1:55
RIP Dak, 0:00 - 8:39
Just imagine that thing steps on you
You can loop it!!!
he already did it once in the actual vid!
see for urself!!
there's this thing called loop
Do an AT-TE please.
How about at st?
Can you make it?
How it actually feels to do exercise:
These things always remind me of giant turtles with long legs
If you skip every 10 seconds it looks like the frames it looks better in 5 seconds
0:05 whats the name of that thing?
The imperial probe droid?
The thumps sound like cannons exploding and it doesnt sound so good, other than that, the animation is great. Nice job!
Can you do one for the AT-TE
Thanks for the comment but I'm not really a big fan of the AT-TE, but who knows maybe I'll get bored one day! :)
xbaxdark with the AT-TE I can never figure out it's walk cycle it's hard to see in the movies/shows
They likely only show limited walk cycle because they had some difficulty animating it as well. The rule for rigs with 6 legs or more is that for every 6 leg segment, 3 legs must always be touching the ground.
please make an AT-ST walk cycle or this video but the AT-AT has AT-STs behind it
I'd love to but I just don't have the time.
MAP?
AT-ACT walking?
Dear God it's coming right at us. RUUNNN! Actually let's just walk it.
( But all kidding aside nice animation)
Thanks, kidding welcome! Part of the animation is a stab on how slow it is. What I tried to convey is that the ATAT's deployed took many days of walking before actually reaching the battlefield, that's why when it first shows up it has no weathering but as days/nights pass it gets older and weathered. :P
@@xbaxdark This video is great! Mind if I use 1 or 2 short clips from this for an Empire Strikes Back project I have coming up?
@@NotMySTARWARS Go for it, just credit me with a link.
@@xbaxdark Cool, yes of course I will credit you. MTFBWY
- This is now called ‘nerd ASMR’.
Surprised they didn’t just model the walking gate on a camel
Its an elephant
Can I get a ×10 version to see it's top speed?
Although Star Wars sources cite the top speed being around 65km/hr, it's total bs. The actual top speed is like 5km/hr. If you look it up on youtube a guy made a video that covers it in detail using my model to demonstrate. You can see from my sketchfab version that even at x2 speed it already begins to look unrealistic skfb.ly/PJXn . The idea from the original designers was that these walkers would be like slow lumbering mechanical beasts.
@@xbaxdark thanks for the model to look at!
@@qu1ll380 You're welcome, I appreciate the gratitude.
I wonder if its possible to make a at-at in real life
It definitely is. This is a project for some Billionaire with a big case of boredom. It would be UNBELIEVABLY expensive and wholly impractical, but I have no doubt it could be done given a startling amount of resources.
@Michael Mangraviti yeah I wish someone would build one tho
I’m almost certain that making a real-life AT-AT, or at least a reasonable facsimile- maybe not as well armed or armored, but to scale, basically functional and possibly even more nimble and articulate, is not only possible, but would be vastly less expensive, more accessible, easier to achieve, and way more productive than *any* of the space programs being privately funded by the likes of such selfish, narrow-minded, petty dumbasses as that Tesla guy, the Amazon guy or the Virgin guy. Fuck those chumps *and* their failure to be space race. Give us an AT-AT or two, double the wages of your employees! That would make them actually cool and do the world a lot more good!
So, tying a cable around it legs will make it fall down ? Seems more like wishful thinking to me.....
I kind of always thought it would snap the cable but it's sci-fi fantasy so *shrug*.
how did you make it? Is it possible if you can make this as greenscreen? I want to use this for my movie
If you read the description I did state it was modelled and animated in 3DS Max. I actually I did a few camera match sequences with it already if you check my other AT-AT videos where I composite the walker in to filmed footage. I use adobe premier to edit the footage together and a few different camera matching programs.
Ok :D but if I make my own fan made star wars movie, and I want to add a at at, do you know where to start? Im using sony vegas 13
To be perfectly honest I'm not sure how to respond to this, I'm not a professional (as much as I would like to be one) I still have lots to learn. That said it took me about 2 months researching animation and rigging and trying many different set ups before I finally figured out how I could get them to walk properly like in the movie. The ankle joint ring thing is what made it particularly complicated. I spent about a month of my spare time modelling and researching the AT-AT and about a week or two texture mapping it. The entire project spanned over about 3 months of my spare time. The footage produced took many days to render with 2-3 pc's all rendering at once. So yeah, it's all very time consuming especially when your learning as you go. Also I actually improved on the walker cycle for my sketchfab upload here: skfb.ly/PJXn
Awesome animation.... once it falls, it cannot get up again by its own effort ?
I don't think so. If it fell sideway like when a dog sleeps, i dont think it would because the legs can't bend like that. If it fell straight down like it was crouching, it might be able to push itself up, assuming it was strong enough to push up that weight. But most tines I would assume that a dropship would come to help it.
They will actually build a fully functional atat to use instead of tanks in the future. Mark my words
It might work decent if it's no bigger than a dog but standing at 50 meters high it would collapse under it's own weight. Also due to the design it has a limited range of movement, it can only lift its feet so high off the ground before the legs collide with the main body, therefore it can only go up or down on a maximum incline/decline of 20 degrees, not to mention the massive power it would require to lift and move those huge legs.
Yeah, it’s only real strength is armor, but that’s only on the sides.
@@neil3442 Well if it's any measure, they are shown taking heavy blaster fire (from rebel cannons) in the legs and cockpit area with no real effect. I suspect if lasers aren't doing the job, realistically you could resort to artillery fire or rpgs for explosive impact. Of course in star wars, it's made of some special, super strong but super light alloy so who can really say.
А на зелёном фоне есть?
Try doing an AT-M6 Gorilla Walker walking animation
To be honest I'm not really a big fan of the variants of the AT-AT. Animating the walk cycle wouldn't necessarily be the difficult or the time consuming part, it would be making the model of the AT-M6 and rigging it for animation. I keep busy so there isn't much time for me to take on something like this currently but who knows what the future will hold.
@@xbaxdark ok.
found the easter egg! 🤣👍
How did they even lift up the walkers?
It's never really been addressed in canon but in EU it's said they are deployed using 'titan' carriers which can deploy up to 4 ATAT's, a number of ATST's as well as speeders. Obviously this is science fiction and none of this is really possible, if a machine was made that large with this design, it would likely topple over on it's first step. Also it's top speed wouldn't be much faster than a human's brisk walk or slow jog. I kind of based my deployment method on what I'd gathered about the Titan's, in the video the walker is dropped using a large set of mechanical tongs.
*Hey, imagine if gravity gun exist?*
xbaxdark Well in my mind, I got a *imaginary* operator, which starfighter form has built-in gravity gun
Well the 'tractor beams' on Star Destroyers are said to be provided by "Gravity Wells" which are the two dome like structures towards the back end of the Destroyers. Not sure their capacity, but in instances like this I can't help but feel like an artist designed the vehicle to look cool or be aesthetic and then some fiction writer comes in at a later date and just assigns 'functions' to various parts.
Yeah I've seen them use the "well", but it would be cooler if it actually produce visible light
I'm trying to animate this in roblox..
Now do a destroyed
I think the video go to use staying alive lfmao sorry for my bad English im Brazilian
Fantastic, but you got the wrong FX.
Hehe pee pew pew I like this vehicle
