Model update


I finished detailing some aspects of the Mitsubishi. The small openings in the front grill, the hood grill, and the mesh were added. It took me a lot longer than expected to clean up some parts of the car. Some parts still need to be put together to get rid of the holes in the model. As soon as it is done I will begin rigging it for animation.

Fluid Effects


These clouds were made using fluid effects in Maya. I believe that they will look great in the environment we are creating. Each cloud is also animated to move across the x axis for every frame, although the render time is quite lengthy especially in high quality. I chose to set the clouds to billow, and was also experimenting with other settings such as shading textures, shadows, density, etc. Another layer was added to create an 'atmosphere', which is the bluish hue in the background. I will continue to work with this to see if I can make the clouds more aesthetic than they are now.
