LSGL work session #8
by sven at 11:09 pm
Time in studio: 2 hrs 15 min
Accomplished:
- created .psd still shot for entry into cave from outside
Commentary:
Well, without "committing" per se, I've started working on part II: the cave's vestibule, and pausing at the "abandon all hope ye who enter here" sign.
Tonight I put together the important still shot where the lavamen transition from the outside world (Photoshop) into the cave environment (LightWave). After I got source material that I liked from LW, I composited this with a pre-existing .psd image. Lots of painting ensued.
"Smudge" is your friend -- but copying and pasting little circles of color can be better, because it maintains texture.
My workflow is going to need tweaking, I suspect. When I save still shots from Viper, I may want to check how they mesh with the lavamen in Photoshop instead of AfterEffects. ...Photoshop's going to become my test environment, I guess.
Next Steps:
- create more still shots for the vestibule in LW
- create the "abandon hope" archway
- figure out how to gracefully transition from the entry's blue tones to the interior's jade tones
