Forest and Sky


This week I got the animation to 80% done. 


Here's a few texture maps I've done for comping, but I haven't rendered anything this week. 

forest bg (need to paint more angles for diff shots)
ascend-to-sky bg, before graying
cloudddddds!

Next week I'm aiming to render s5~s9 plus animating s13~14. It's a lot of stuff so they might partially flow into the following week's task.
