New developments in the Test Chamber and Control Room design and animatic look are incorporated in this still. The cannon towers are visible outside the control room.

The window frame is starting to take shape. Lots of curves and rounded corners.


The 3D renders done in Cinema4d are now split into layers: a "cel shaded" look, a depth pass, and object ID passes for the seats, the screen, the towers, the cannons and the Test Chamber walls. This allows for quick "re-lighting" and re-texturing within After Effects, instead of having to re-render the scene.

The 2D image of Joe on the screen display is matched to the 3D renders within After Effects. Cinema4d offers tight integration with After Effects, and exports camera data that can be used in an AE composition.
