Week 5 - 7
Major modeling progress done within ZBrush of the upper machine and the musicians. Part of the fun design problem solving was making the machine convincingly rotate, the way I solved this was to put the musicians on a track and attach them to rollercoaster wheels. It thematically keeps to my childlike fun while maintaining a sense of realism. The circular trusses add more musical architecture so the viewer doesn’t loose the purpose of the machine.
Latest Pre-vis with the updated terrain and the latest models of the machine
I brought in a slice of the cave ceiling to start finishing up the upper part of the machine. From here I plan to tweak the central cylinder to the tubes and wires look like they connect to something. Modeling is nearly complete, I only need a solid day to finish up models to move onto texturing and animation.
