Hi Steemians,

So, over the last couple of days, I have been busy working away on a new short animation. Keep reading after watching the link as there's a snazzy breakdown further down. The animation is part sketch, part 3d and a lot of creativity.

Turn your speakers on as there is some sound which will enhance the animation.

I've always been a lover of games, one in particular that stayed with me for many many years was Final Fantasy 7.

This isn't a game that is going to be made (unless someone out there loves the visuals enough =) ), it's just my attempt at creating the look inspired by all the visuals that have made a lasting impression.

Everything you see I created from scratch

The softwares I used were:

Cinema4D: to create the city scape
Keyshot Pro: to render, texture and light the cityscape
Photoshop: to create the sketch of the shit with everything inside
After Effects: to add all the motion graphics and colour grade.
Premiere Pro: adding the sound and title card.

Here's the breakdown:

City Scape Base (Cinema4d and Keyshot Pro) (Modelling, Lighting and Rendering):

Spaceship Outlines (Photoshop):

Painting the Solid Areas (Photoshop):

Combining Solids and Outlines - Base Spaceship Cockpit (Photoshop):

Adding the Painted Dark Pilot (Photoshop):

Painting in the Instrument Panels Base (Photoshop):

Adding the Details and Colour Grading (AfterEffects)(This is also where I animated everything):

Would love some feedback, re steem if you like it and upvote the mother out of it. It shows you care =).
