Some fantastic changes here.
I’ve always hated, though, how awful the grasslands around Naboo look. They are just absolutely featureless and they look more CG than the entirely CG creatures moving around them. Every shot of the greenery just takes me right out of the film. TAS, is that something you’ve thought about looking into?
Similarly, the ‘power station’ or whatever it is that’s the setting of the final fight just looks too unbelievably fake. The very last episode of The Clone Wars featured a ship’s ‘hyperdrive core’ which had very similar geometry but without the artificial feeling laser pylons, have you considered any changes to this?
Thank you!
Actually thats one of the main things i really wanted to fix from the get go! lol The Shot of the tanks rolling up to Theed has the same issue. Part of the problem is there is no depth of field to anything as it goes back in the horizon and every thing stays in focus. Making it look very flat. The other issue is the lack of detail which is present in some shots but not most. I understand some shots are far enough back that you wouldn’t notice individual grass but other shots you would. The ships are all models and not cgi and mostly look good. I’ve considered how to fix this but nothing done up yet. I think the best way is to handle that with blender. So part of the attack of Theed and the Gun Gun Field battle will require Blender to pull off what i want and have it look good. Just trying to finish up everything with After Effects first. Which is mostly alotttttttt of masking. Painfully alot. The Smart mask or auto mask doesn’t work good enough unfortunately and im trying to work in a lot of stuff.
As far as the end fight with the generator room, send me a link to a picture or something if you could so i could see what you are talking about. Im just trying to figure out how bright they are supposed to be and if i should darken the back ground a bit and add more cast shadow to things. I also want to change the color from pink to a blue.
