Environments

Here is an Egyption plane i have developed from scratch, I learnt how to add the foggy/cloud effect using 3D MAX which is done in environment, this effect could be added into the fantasy trailor i would like to do. It is possible to add more to this, one of them is adding wind as an animation which would enable the fog/clouds to move a long at a set speed chosen by yourself. I have played games such as call of duty that use this sort of environment which adds to the effective image and changes the whole atmosphere in the game.

Ideal Genre For Team Trailer



For our game trailer my personal choice would probably be a fantasy, this isnt because this is my favourite genre, it is because i believe I would be able to come up with a lot more ideas than if we chose horror for our genre. Horror is probably my favourite and if I thought I could think of a enough ideas to produce a successful trailer then this would be my choice. If we did do the Fantasy genre then I wouldn't agree on doing a medevel time I would suggest doing a more futuristic setting, I believe this would be more appealing to the audience we are targeting.

I further developed this piece of work by adding a sky texture to it. I did this by creating a sphere around the piece of land. Adding this texture is pretty much the same as the way I did it before.

land in 3D Max



Here is a render of the land I created on studio max, it was quite simple to do this effect. You are able to make the ground higher, lower, wider or higher by just holding the mouse down an dragging it the opposite direction. It took approximatley 10 minutes to complete.

Spaceship 2



This is my second version of my spaceship. The only real difference between the two is the colour. I decided to change the colour from grey to blue, this was so the ship stood out from the sky as the clouds are grey too. However the movement of this spaceship is not as good as the first one which is the reason why I like that one better.

Spaceship



This was my original animation of my space ship, I like this version because the ship is in the image fairly often and also I like the circular motion the ship moves in. Before I did this animation i was worried that i wasn't going to be able to pull it off, but with a little help I went through it pretty quick and was surprised and proud of what I had produced. It was quite simple the only things you have to make sure you get correct is the camera angles and how the plane moves, what I mean by this is sometimes it's difficult to get the object to move realistically.
