I'm currently working on or rather just finished my first Concept art for the 3D environment that our ships are suppose to land on / take off from etc.
We're doing the hardest one first so that we can do the easier ones by ourselves (in terms of building it in 3D)
So i thought I'd share -
The first is what the camera would see (the one i drew in the shot board) -
The Second one is a bit more, so that i have room to move around with the camera =D
In other news ~ rather than starting this in 3D i'll be continuing the other drawings because my hard drive scared me to death this morning by refusing to work ~ after half an hour it started working and i'm currently doing a back up xD so I can't and don't want to use my computer for something as intensive as 3D
"save the hard drive~! Don't touch anything near it incase it stops working~!"
hehe =P
Until later

I haven't been privy to the planning that's gone behind those concept drawings, Ariane, but the mind boggles at the wild mix of stories that your picture evokes. I see Jack's beanstalk breaking through those clouds, only, instead of the giant's castle, we see a little tin-shed with a strange rigging jutting out of a rock face.
ReplyDeleteAnd those red-brown hills, they could be straight out of some old cowboy movie. Yeeha!
haha ~ well I think, rather than Cowboy/westerns (which I really don't like) and Jack and the Beanstalk ~ its rather Ariane ~ Don't you agree? =P
Deleteand thanks by the way haha xD ~ I'm having a rather hard time on it in 3D ~ after all its our first time preparing for something like this in Maya =P so every step is a slow learning curve xD
Delete"why doesn't it work"
"why does it work?"
"how do i change the image plane's depth"
"why is it off centre"
"how did i get it centred the first time?"
but by far ~ the hardest is trying to get a script called zoomerate to work haha
~ but I'm getting there slowly xD haha
It looks great, but my initial thought would be to push the central mountain further back and thus lower in the frame, for me it would create a better depth to the scene to be able to see the peak, however, this might not be the look you're going for with mountains looming on all sides. Or a camera move might incorporate this anyway.
ReplyDeleteI get the feeling everyone is in the same boat when it comes to Maya.
