Scene Update

Since the rest of my scenes all involve this cracked surface, I thought I'd focus my time modelling and animating the surface before adding in the characters and creating the final animations.

Here's an animation of the hole collapsing, used in the scene where one of the astronauts fall in:



And here are 3 rendered stills taken at various intervals of the animation:

Character and backpack development sketches

Cave Lighting

Experimenting with light sources at the moment. I plan to position them first and then experiment with colour. At the moment I quite like the last shot. The light is soft and doesn't draw too much attention to itself. Thoughts? Is it still too bright?

Martian Cave- Extension

Added in another area based on Bharathi's concept for where the characters can slide down the rope (which now I've just mentioned I've forgotten to put in) and into the cave. Hope it looks ok. Next up will be the lighting. Then I'll add in some textures and start experimenting with them.

Pages Update

Just a small update: 6 more pages complete, now with 3D concepts and character development.

Cave Textures

I've layed out the UVs for the cave scene, now what textures am I using? I've found a few which I thought looked pretty good

First Scene Modeled

Finished this one. Which scene do we want for what shot? Or shall I go through what I've been assigned and decide which shot takes place where? Because I'm seeing this set as the one where the astronauts climb down into the cave.
