To create the scene when the Millennium Falcon escapes through the mouth of the Space Slug I have decided to use background images on Planes, as I feel using the actual Space Slug Model will be too complicated. I need it to look like this image.
To begin
with I have gone on the internet and found an image of a starry sky. I will
need this image later on as well. Like in the image above you can see the stars
behind the closing teeth. Next I have opened up Photoshop and drawn in a mouth
and gums, making a pinkish sort of colour and using highlights and low lights
to add realism to this.
Next
step was making the teeth. I felt seeing as this Slug does not visit the
dentist often, then the teeth should be all various sizes and rotting, like in
the image above. It’s true that these will not necessarily match the teeth on
my model Space slug (where I used Pyramid shapes) but I have followed the style
of giving them various shapes. I then split these in half and saved each half
of the image as a different bitmap.
Now onto 3Ds
Max. I have drawn two Planes on the scene and had them facing vertically as
they will close down as the Falcon approaches.
Rendering it
out this is how it looks.
I then
add another Plane behind them and add the same starry background.
Next
I imported the Millennium Falcon and reduced the size. I placed the camera as
well
I have now
drawn a line for the Millennium Falcon to follow, rotating as it avoids the
teeth. I have also drawn lines for the two parts of the mouth to move up and
down as well.
Render it
out and it looks like this.
I will also
to the same scene but from the other side. I have gone back into Photoshop and
drawn the mouth from the outside. I have
also replaced the starry background with a brownish colour to represent the
inside of the mouth.
I then move
the camera to the other side of the mouth and shoot the same scene, this time
with the Millennium Falcon facing us. I then render out and that is another
scene complete.
