Green screening

I used a green background on my next few Maya animations to composite it straight into my space ship animations with no difficulty, my laptop is in the workshop atm getting the fan fixed so will upload this work later.

Test Room

When my character enters the virtual test room to train for military service on board her ship I wanted there to be a futuristic style loading screen to show that she was being uploaded into this setup. I kept it quite simple and minimilistic and I was inspired by the art of Borderlands 2, TRON and The Matrix.

I made a very basic model in Maya but used toon shaders and transparency maps to make it look more dynamic, I was very happy with how it looked.

I then had to move it into after effects and work on it some more.

I then made a loading bar which would spread across the screen, I also recorded the sound of me typing on my keyboard to add sound effects to this part of the animation.
