The Desert Set 2


It still needs some fine tuning and  dressing but the desert set for the opening scenes of the film are almost ready for texturing and lighting.

I've purposely stopped myself from over modelling the mesas and other shapes. When looking at some of Maurice Nobles desert designs I found the simple shapes he used to stylize the environment in the Road Runner shorts are so striking and effective in evoking the harsh desert landscape that a similar approach would help in realizing a more cartoon world for BHB. The trick is to think cartoon not  reality.
