Operation - Planet Landing

Vfx Portfolio - Planet Landing

The main storyline of this narrative is about humanity, who has lost their homes, embarking on a military operation with a special forces unit composed of elite soldiers to regain their homes.

Drop Ship

References were made to actual US military transport ships as well as various spaceships from SF movies and games to design the transport ship for the transportation mission.

The modeling was intended to express the ruggedness typical of military aircraft, and the textures were designed to depict scratches caused by dust and traces of oil leaks from the hydraulic system caused by friction after entering the planet.

Soldier

The references for the soldiers were obtained from various SF movies and games. They aimed to create an armor that exuded a rugged feel and could be suitable for extreme situations, so a sturdy-looking exterior was sought after instead of flashy details.

The soldiers deliberated between cyborg-type and partial armor-type, but ultimately opted for a more human-like feel and went with an armored look. In addition, the texture was designed to convey the feeling of painted-on paint and the sense of a seasoned veteran, so a lot of wear and tear was added to the armor.

BackGround

There were a lot of considerations about the background, but we decided on a snowy landscape imagining that it would provide a more dramatic contrast if we were to recover the frozen Earth and return it to its original state. In addition, to set the scene and target the enemy's main stronghold, we chose a mountainous region as the background.

I created the snowy mountain using World Creator.

And as for the terrain, we opted for a valley-like shape, inspired by a military operation seen in Top Gun that looked very cool. Additionally, since it was a surprise landing mission, we wanted a suitable environment, so we added fog throughout the background to create a silhouette effect.
