Animation Direction AM50309 - 6: Week 5

In order to give my film a bit more of a visual impact, I decided to give my film a unique title sequence so as to intrigue the viewer. I have never done anything like this for any of my other projects, so I wanted to try it out for this one.

I first started creating the rock that represented my brand identity. I largely followed the same process as for the floating island, but I used cylindrical mapping instead. After exporting the base mesh to Mudbox, I once again applied basic texturing to the mesh to act as markers. I then exported the texture maps to finish off the final details, and applied bump mapping with CrazyBump.

I still have a bit more work to do on them to make them look right, but so far I'm making good progress.
