One of the delays I experienced this
fall was regarding planet surface artwork. I ended up
re-commissioning the work to my talented CG artist, Aeghite, and she
has done an absolutely fantastic job in a very short time. When the
protagonist lands on the Erwani homeworld, Yolwana, we see a
beautiful forest full of color, covered with a mixture of plant life
that is both familiar and alien. I wanted the protagonist, Trey, and
his Reln companion to walk through the forest together, but this
took some doing. I spent many hours trying out different tests with
my program to achieve the animation I wanted, using some cinematic
trickery to keep it all connected. I was finally able to achieve my
goal of having some sideways scrolling background art during their
“walk,” and it really feels like you’re moving through the
forest with them!
