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.
