With the set on hand, I ventured back into the wilderness that is Maya, and started texturing. At first I intended to use a toon shader, so I could get black outlines, but the black outlines slowed everything down and were tempramential to say the least. Instead, I did away with the black lines, and instead simply like the toon colours with an ambient light and the results... well I let the video speak for itself.
I still need to put in the thorns and mountains to fit my concept, but otherwise that's pretty much done, ready to put in cameras and render.
However then came a crushing question: what if it didn't match my animation?
Well, seeings as if this was the case I'd have to draw my backgrounds, I quickly rendered out a approximate camera angle to what I wanted for a shot, and composited the image into the background of a piece of completed animation.
The result is below:
Luckily, it seems to work well together, and I have options if later on I decide against it.
Now all I need to do is finish my animation...
Peace out
James
