Rendering the pigeon Animation

When rendering out the animation I couldn't decide which lights looked better in the animation. Some made really dark shadows, but another one made a really clear green and would have made it easier to get rid of and intergrate it into the other footage. I decided to use both lights and although this also didn't make the shadows very dark, it did make the pigeon look very cool so I decided to stick with this and see what the final render looks like.

It took about 4 hours altogether to render out.

The next step is to put it into after effects and delete all the green. hopefully this won't be too difficult I've never done it before.

Finished Pigeon Texture

After drawing on all the feathers I had a look at the texture on my pigeon modelled and thought it looked a bit flat and plain. I added loads of lines to the texture to make it look more scratchy and rough. I also had a look at more images of pigeons to see where there feathers are darker and where there light, I also added greens and purples to give the pigeon some more colour.

It took a longer time to do but I think it was worth it because it looks quite realistic
