Environment Progress - Encounter Halloween Special (Patreon)

Here's a look at the new location in which the upcoming Bunsen animation will play out! The idea was a dense forest path that leads to a bit of a clearing on which Space Hero will start a campfire, before being greeted by the dragon that haunts these woods, hoho!

I've admittedly only started working on this scene on August 1st since there were a couple of other things I needed to get done prior to this. For a mere eight days, the progress has been quite great whatsoever, with the majority of the terrain work being pretty much finished! The next step is to dress everything with trees and a bit more foliage before tacking the scene lighting. I'm hoping for all of that to be done by next week, so I can proceed animating the first opening shots as soon as possible.

You might have already noticed it, but this environment is using a ton of assets from Encounter 2, which made it possible for me to come up with something in a mere week. The setting will be somewhat similar, so reusing the assets and shaders I had already tweaked seemed like a better idea than to spend over a month making an environment entirely from scratch.

I'm expecting to have this finalized by mid-August, on which I'll hopefully post some renders on the lighting setup as well! (:
