Forest Highway

Caprica Forest Highway Chase - Spring 10 - Environment Modeling, Texturing, and Lighting. We needed a CG set to match some of the practical shots for the van chase sequence in Ep109, on a t.v. schedule. So using HD instance and our plant library, I created a forest with natural tree groupings and openings. In key areas, I placed specific trees and ground vegetation that were close to the camera or interacting with the vehicles. I made different set peices such as billboards, watertowers, street signs, guard rails, and gas stations and dispersed them through the shots to change the look of each shot and make it seem like the chase happened over a large distance. I added in raking moonlight and interactive lights from van and set peices, and we had a fairly believable set.
