Chapter 02: Environment Kitbaching - Implementing the animated characters in 3DS Max

Knowing that every project has a deadline, It is impossible to model every object yourself especially for such a huge project. To surpass this problem we rely on kitbashing using free models from the internet. We use kitbaching to create a suitable environment for our main character and you are free to come up with your own environment that suits your scene. For our scene is kinda "bittersweet" so we go for a nighty forest with some grass, rocks & some insects...TyFlow was used to simulate the background swarm of insects and also to simulate the cloud of bats. Several techniques were tested to achieve a satisfying (stylish-realistic) behavior for the animated insects / bats. Concerning the butterfly & the crawling insects we had to manually integrate them into the scene. Various techniques were used to achieve that.You will learn very valuable techniques that can be used widely and you will be comfortable animating any swarm of “sth” and integrate different type of insects for your future scenes.
