Environment Reference Sketches

Some sketches of Antarctic hut reference imagery. Scott’s bunk, box of penguin eggs, etc.

Moving On

This is a render from 3ds Max of the bunk… The textures hold up really nicely close up as well. Below this image is the proxy version that was built for the previsualisation. There are a number of alterations to the shape and detail on most parts of the objects but the overall shape and dimensions must remain similar due to the animation and positioning of cameras and objects during the previs. If the matress was much higher than the proxy version then Horstmann would not be able to reach his head over it as he does in one of the shots. Therefore special considerations must be made before changing the overall shape and size of objects, the knock on effects could be much more important than the initial reason for changing it.

I’ve been spending pretty much all of my awake hours at work just recently so ive not done much here at the lunar workshop. The bunk is complete though and now I’m moving on to the steps just behind the bunk… An exciting time is indeed upon us.

I’m developing some interesting methods of texturing that I’ve not encountered before on tutorials or forums so I think i’ll post some of the methods up here for the gentle chaps and ladies who may be interested in such of the like.
