Spider enters 3D!

Haven't updated in a while, so unfortunatley this blog has slipped a bit. I'm going to try and update more regularly in future.

Between now and the presentation I have started taking my concept and working on it in 3D. As you can see (above) the transition has gone quite well. Its still not a final image but I'm pleased at how this is going so far. I'm thinking of adding some foilage to break up the shot a bit. In the time since my last post I have made several sets and haven't been able to find a balance with any of them, this one, so far, seems to suit the mood best.

I have set up a thread (URL below) on the university forums to obtain critiques and advice on my work from peers.

So far the critiques have been informative and encouraging. The next stage is to rig my model and brush up on any visual elements that may need tweaking before I continue. Then it will be time to animate.

I'm pleased with my current progress and look forward to having a nice clean piece of animation by the end of it.
