Added some trees and some creepy lookin' fog. Added 2 main lights. One to illuminate the clown face to make it stand out and one that lights up infront of the cart to create shadows as it goes past props.
This shows how I've added the fog. Had to get Roma's help but I played around with it until I was happy with the effect :)
This is just to show off my trees.
The 2 ghosts on my roof are just pictures! I wanted a simpler way of modelling props and was told to do it this way. The next image shows how I did it.
The 2 planes have opacity maps that allows the images to be shown and the rest to be see through.
This is a view of my grave yard on the roof along with my scary trees and my lighting! All the shadows help to add to the spooky effect!
This is a splat of slime I had added on the floor. There are also drops of slime that drop from the roof as the cart goes past it.
These are 3 spiders I have made that drop from the roof. This is my second scare scene of the ride and with the lighting (top left) the shadows really do look pretty creepy! Eww spiders!
A shadow monster that I have created has been made the same way as my ghosts further up. I really like how it's all dark and mysterious. You don't really know what it is as it approaches which adds to the scary effect.
This just shows how my shadow monster looks!
Overall I am really pleased with my progress. I'm just starting to get the hang of using 3Ds Max and I'm actually sad it's nearly the end of Animation! I've loved this project and feel that I have learnt an awful lot about the software :)
this looks awesome :D im thinking of doing similar stuff with trees. not clown though aha :D
ReplyDeleteThanks :D The trees are dead easy to do. Andy said it's better if you make your own cos the ones shown on this blog post use a lot of rendering time :(
