Symbiote B project update 04/30/2012

New sample test render images from our "Symbiote B" animation project showing some of

the effects that have been added. The full project is being developed in 3D Studio

Max and utilizes a variety of complex animations and effects. Video Post, animated

lasers, atmosphere and environment settings, etc. Most of the UVW mapped texturing is

created using the "Cebas Final Render - Final Toon" plug-in. The plasma cloud and

vent effects are animated using the "Sitni Sati - After-Burn" plug-in. The final

animation sequence includes dozens of animated objects and 70 to 80 different laser

and lighting settings. A number of the lighting effects have a rhythmic pulse that

work in concert adjusting the subtle lighting and reflection maps casting visual

shades throughout the environment.
