Monster Planet FX

Stills

These are samples of FX I worked on for our sci-fi parody, Monster Planet. These shots were created around 2000, when I began learning the CGI craft. I mostly used Lightwave and After Effects, with a little Vue D’esprit thrown in for some landscaping. As I look at them now, they are definitely showing their age.

Here’s an early animation of the good-guys ship in orbit. I was just starting to get the hang of texturing. I was happy with the glints of specular light shining off the ship’s hull.
