Envronment Designs Part Deux.

Here are some environment designs that
i had been playing. A few may look the same
as each other but they do have diffences.

This first one is the most recent design. it
was a test to get the layout of the 3D space
in After effects to look good. it needs some
more work like the background; maybe add
some mountains, more trees and even clouds.





This image was a test design of an an idea I had
of having the ground layered like pieces of
corrugated cardboard.


I then took the idea to the next stage and had
my friend Ben model the card in maya. even
though i could have easily made it myself with
real card and taken pictures, I wanted to have
more control over the lighting of the set piece.




Made in After effects i played with the perspective
of the trees, trying to achive a cran shot. needs more
work.



These next pics, were early tests for setting up
the layers in 3D space and adding some shadows.





I also placed the character design into the scene
to see what size he should be compared to every
thing else.

In the end I was happy with the bottom picture
as it suits the size of the character.
