Probe Look Dev

Here are some renders of the look dev of the probe. I expect to do a fair amount of tweaking after the probe is sitting in its destination.

Planet Look Dev

Here are some beautiful images of the Planet.  Look development is coming close to completition. Some compositing was utilized for very realistic resutls.

Nebula Test

Here are a few test renders of a Nebula that might work well in the far distance. I hope for it to complement the more greater depth Nebula that Chris is working on.

Week 3 Planet

Here is some progress of the planet.  The camera move has some issues, as well as a host of other things, but overall I’m confident that this planet will look sweet by week 10

Nebulae Progress

Been working on some nebula -related stuff.  In this render, I’m projecting a matte painting through a particle volume in Maya.  This is just a proof-of-concept render; the color in the final render will probably come from some procedural textures rather than the matte painting.  Of course, this will be just one of many volume/atmospheric layers.  I also plan on doing some fluids and point renders for some hero nebulae.

Probe Complete – mission 1 – success

Here are some quick Ambient Occlusion renders of the Voyager Probe.
I exercised artistic license greatly due to the lack of quality reference images.

Look Development

Here are some images of the current stages of look development. Many technical test are currently under way on the Nebulae. This current render features maya fluid effects technology.

Probe Model

here are some recent Maya snapshots of the Probe Model.

Our collaborative project is based around the infinite bounds of space. A single camera move starts with a dynamic view of an unknown planet. As the camera pulls back, details of the galaxy become apparent. The colorful nebulae surrounding the planet are illuminating it as if it were being lit by the sun. The camera pulls further back, moving through deep volumetric clouds of gas while the Voyager Space probe enters the composition and moves towards the life-occupied planet.
