I did a tribute to honor the passing of Leonard Nimoy. This is a still frame from that animation.
The project was modeled, animated, and composited entirely in Blender over the course of 10 months. I had never used Blender prior to this project so the vast majority of the time was my own efforts to learn the interface and capabilities. Resources like CG Cookie were invaluable in getting this project finished.
Image assets for shaders were created using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.
