I can finally post some of the animation done for the Tin Dragon project, an installation with a short film component housed in St. Helens, Tasmania. The project is about the Chinese Tin Miners who came to Tasmania in the 19th Century. The Dragon comes along for the ride.
This animation was a proof of concept which doesn’t appear in the final film. The landscape was a still photo, which I separated out the sky and painted in some more clouds so I could make them move subtly.
The project was developed by Virtual Reality Entertainment Systems and the soundtrack for this clip was created by George Goerss of Sonic Solutions.
Nice!
It’s movement is very ‘rail-like’. It would read much more like flight if his tail swooshed on top of that curve path.
Yeh, I tried to get some additional undulation in there but time and my ham fisted rigging efforts conspired against me!
