Once the set is designed on paper, and using our mood boards for reference, we begin construction of our virtual set. This is done in four stages:
- Modeling the environment,
- Modeling the props,
- Texturing all of the 3D elements,
- Lighting
Here are the first two stages done to completion. Each model is first built in Autodesk’s Maya and then further sculpted in Autodesk’s Mudbox. Basic lighting, which will be refined later, is applied to the scene so that test renders can be performed.
