Colour Testing

A colour test to get a general theme for the film.

The colours for the boat are going to be based on the colours an actual ice breaker would be. We are going to have a colour filter over the whole thing though, which will hopefully make the orange/red parts stand out less.

Lighting Tests

Some lighting tests using a colour in the key light to act as a colour correction. This would most likely work better as an actual colour correction layer in After effects though. 

Environment texturing test

Just a quick update to show that I'm in the process of texturing the environment, this post may have more render images added to it as I progress more.

UV mapped environment

The environment is fully UV mapped now after only a few problems.

The textures can wait for now because I need to Finnish modelling the ice breaker so that we can start animating. I will however, have to work on the model a bit more to make sure the textures fit right after I have smoothed everything.

It's been a rough week and not a lot has been accomplished for me.

Jason is still working on the character rig and Danielle has been finalising the pillars and Working on the temple.

Environment Base

I've finished the base for the environment, it just needs UV mapping/ texturing and the smoothing. Should take a week to finalise it all.

I've also been working on modelling the Ice breaker ship. Admittedly I haven't gotten as far as I had planned to by now due to several problems fixing other models, taking time away from finishing the boat.
