@ Adam and Sean - Opinion needed

Temporary post @ Adam and Sean. Are three scripts needed? Apart from grunts, gasps, screams and anknowledgements, I've looked over the animatic and discluding Linda, any other character dialogue is non-essential. I dunno. Let me know!

Spiders Textured

I had a thought of what would be required for the spider when the lighting and the bright red light are brought in later and remembered that as a group we decided on simple textures

Therefore I have not produced UV maps for the spiders because I felt the details would be dominated by the central red glow coming from the eye and they are shown much in the trailer, just as brief glimpses of presence.

I have chosen a wine colour for the eye because this clearly indicates the source of where the red glow would come from and in my mind, this is the colour of the eye when it's not glowing. I have textured the rest to give the spiders a shiny metalic feel to capture the period feel of the 30's - 60's.


@Dayle and Sean, is this what you meant by basic texturing, I just figured with the lighting and the red glow that we would only get an impression of the colour of each spider?

Let me know

Ammended Spider Geomentry

I took Sean's advice of eight legs and where to place them from further research and they are hopefully now more 'spider-like'.

@Dayle and Sean, Please comment back and give me your opinions on this, I think the eight legs has improved the alpha but not sure on the drone. Are you happy with these now or any other adjustments you would like me to make?

I won't start the UV's until you let me know if the geomentry is ok

Character Props - Textured

I have used a variety of basic textures, texture maps and a fur attachment. The camera has standard textures because it only features for a brief moment within the trailer at the end shot, The other colours/ textures were based on the research images found.

@Dayle and Sean, Please comment back let me know what you think

These are two renders depicting experiments for the fur used in the head of the boom mic, I prefer the light grey because it is more distinctive.

Microphone - Ammended Geomentry

I have taken the group's advice to make the shapes closer to my reference image and the handle so that Linda can grip the prop with ease.

Environment Prop Textures

I have taken the group's advice on colour scheme and looked at my research material as guidence. I have created texture maps where relevant but also used a lot of simple textures to keep to the style.

@Dayle and Sean - Let me know what you think so far, I can't get the dial to come out clear on the radio so may try something different there and I will resolve the issue with the desk as there is a section where the texture missed (Unless the bottom of the desk is not seen in the shot) Please Comment back your thoughts
