Red or Dead: desert scene tests

these are a couple of tests done for the desert scene





im going to enlarge the sun, make more mountains in the background and show more yellow sand and then i should be getting close to finnishing this scene, just need to add the bike!

Red or Dead: Desert Test

This test mixes some sand animation with the stratacut animation to give a possible look to what out desert scene may look like. i think the sky is a bit confusing but i still like the patterns

Red of Dead: Mirrored Plants

This is a compilation of tests i did using footage I took of plants and trees up at Enys Garden in Penryn. I have mirrored them in aftereffects, I think the coliderscope like patterns look great and will work as backdrops for the diffrent worlds.
