Dynamics Environment

Here is the link to my Animation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wM-5GSWzrMY

For the second part of my assignment i have decided to add a sci fi look to the environment as in Guardians of the Galaxy its based mostly in space. The scenario for my animation is the Starship Jetplane is descending from the sky and it spirals out of control until it starts smoking and then crashes through a brick wall until it catches fire.

The water that is surrounding the island is made from a nurbs plane which has a fractal bump map attached.

The main object in the centre of the plane is from a 3rd Party source http://tf3dm.com/ This was mainly used to set the scene and so was the soundtrack in the background was taken from youtube and converted to mp3.

***Unfortunately i couldn’t add my Groot model animation as this slowed down my animation to a hault and caused my laptop to crash constantly. ****
