This week I shot my first scene animation scene as a test of animation and rendering. The classic 'Star Destroyer flying over the camera' shot as a test scene. With this scene I played with skyboxes and different colored lights, using blue tinted targeted point lights to replicate the 'aura' the engines of the huge cruiser would give off.
(Textures turned off to show the lights)
The background I used was just a simple generic 'Space' texture wrapped around a huge sphere with the Venator placed inside. Also inside is a Planet to give some background to the entire scene, although in the shot of the cruiser flying over you can't see it. I shot another test scene where I made the planet rotate and the cruiser float idly in orbit.
Yes, I know a planet wouldn't rotate in this manner, it was mainly to exentiate the two objects moving in unison. After now having a good play with different techniques and getting to grips on how to animate, I feel i am ready to now start shooting scenes for my animation.
