Janet is doing her animation in 3D so in Maya. Her scene is looking fantastic, but because it is a forest scene she has a few trees and leaves, this is giving Maya some trouble and if Janet where to put many more in her scene it may not work properly or maybe not even load properly.
I suggested she should just put an image plan up and stick a forest image on it in the background so that it looks as though there is more forest whereas its just an image, I then offered to make the image scene for her as it is hard and almost impossible to find an image precisely how you want it.
I grabbed samples of her scene and asked what she was after, Janet pretty much left it with me to do which makes me happy. I made the background image in Photoshop and it is now as a background scene for her animation.
This is an image of Janets Maya scene at the moment. (not rendered)
And this is the background I came up with in Photoshop. The colors don't match but the image is meant to look further away, and with it all together it works.
I also made an image of just tree trunks that are the same color as her trees. This is so if she needed she could place it in an image plan in-between the background image and her scene. With the gapes in-between the tree trunks transparent, as the camera moved it would help the scene to look more 3D and as if there is no image but 3D trees.
I have left it with Janet and if she needs any changes on the scene I am able to wipe it into Photoshop and fix it up. But hopefully it works well.
