Storybook Ship
Sailing through a starlit night, clouds part to reveal bright golden light. Illuminated paper airplanes soar as a determined postman fox navigates the skies, on a whimsical quest to make his deliveries.
The Concept
"Storybook Ship" is based on a concept by Tuomas Korpi on Artstation
Breakdown
The clouds were created using VDB's and adjusting each ones scale and properties within Maya to match the concept as best as possible.
​
I modeled all the elements of the ship including the sails in Maya, and the paper airplanes, and I used sweep mesh to create all of the ropes.
​
The fox character and all of the snow were sculpted in Z-Brush. I did an X-Gen interactive groom on the fox, and then used the diffuse map to guide the color of his fur.
​
Everything was textured using Substance Painter.
Render Passes/Compositing
I did a lot of compositing work for this piece using Nuke to work with light selects, various render elements, and add multiple atmospheric effects.
