Making Headingham...

Lighting and stage effects

I have been playing alot with the lighting on 3Ds Max to try to increase my skills with so we as a group can create great atmospheres and effects to what we need. Bellow is an example of what I have been doing, this is not an exact scene, but we will be using water, and ocean etc.







I have used lense effects on two omni lights in this render, spending alot of time knowing what the adjustments do, and how to create a relistic sun, and the light that it produces. Such as what colour it is at what elevation, also relections, refractions and shadows where all adjusted to aim towards realism.

This is just an example of whats to come, each day I am learning more and enjoying 3Ds Max more too.

Bellow just shows the making of my render, and a settings panel for lense effects.

Southend Pier...

One of the landmark location we chose was Southend-on-sea pier. Here is the model so far. I need to extend the pier further and then create an opening at one end.

Chelmsford Sign.

Here is another model.
I said to the other guys that we should put in place signs as the camera moves throughout the different locations, to remind the viewer exactly where they are.
Here is the first of hopefully a few signs that will feature throughtout the animation.
