Process
A Maya 3D animation
This extensive animation project includes:
- Modeling of the, ship, earth, alien and backyard.
- Rigging and animating the alien.
- Creating a very complex shader network to produce a phtorealistic earth---complete with a day/night transition.
- Lighted cities on the night side.
- A 3D cloud layer and atmospheric glow.
- Expressions were coded to to make the saucer spin, iris door open and create the illusion of a day/night on earth.
Rendering
The overall look uses very expensive rendering options set to full 1080 HD with Raytraced shadows and reflections and glossy materials to give the animation a photorealistic look.
The brevity of the piece is a result of the rendering options.
A month of solid work went into this one minute of footage.
