Background to the Backgrounds

Essetially I built a rough of each background in MAYA for everything in the film that takes place before they go through the portal. Then in photoshop I paint it as if it was a normal background. Then I add the lighting. It's adding a very cool sense of depth I feel. I really like how these are coming. There are a lot more coming soon!

A Challenger Approaches!!

Ladies and Gentlemen!

Here is the new character. THE PANTHER.





He's a tough type, knows his stuff and is past his prime. (Essentially that kid moose character but all grown up now and not a moose anymore at all).

Here is some test animation of him running. I like how it came out, though I'll obviously have to work on my consistencies a bit. Timing wise, thus far I can dig it.

(You may have to click on it to play it, if not save the image and open it in a new window in your web browser.)




Surely more tomorrow. Till then.
