Space Temple #10

I've done my first renders, not final resolution but they are looking good.

These were done some time ago but I've had some time off recently so haven't posted anything for a while. These are shots 4 and 5 from the film of 75 in total so still lots to do. I'm working on my first special effect at the moment, a teleportation effect. It's looking nice, having some trouble with particles effects though. I'm planning to post it up here when it's done which will probably the same time next week.

Space Temple #9



I've been working on a lot of bits and bobs over the last few days, firstly Oren's utility belt.

Secondly I've done some minor alterations to Oren's specular map (Shininess)
Also I textured (painted) his shoulder armour.



Lastly I've been working on my foliage, moss and grass. The moss was quite a pest, all the other textures in the film so far are hand painted, but I just couldn't get the moss to look right so I had to use an altered photograph to get the look I wanted. Here's the foliage set.

Here it is again in use on the Space Temple.

Space Temple #8 Props


I've been working on my props this weekend. This is a scanner like the Star Trek Tricorder
 used for scanning an area. You can see it in its place holder state in the walk cycle
I posted in Space Temple #6



Below is a test render I've done. I think it turned out pretty well, it certainly looks pretty sturdy.


Next week I shall be working more on the main character, adding
some detail to the shoulder armour.
