Alterations to Design

After completing the final designs for the animals, there was something about the wolf design that I just wasn't happy with and I couldn't quite pin down why. I think after working on it for so long, I needed a second pair of eyes to tell me what the problem was. Emma got what the issue was straight away!

The problem was with the wolf's snout. It didn't jut outwards enough and therefore looked very cat like, which was bound to be confusing for people. I then produced some atlered designs for the wolf, this time making sure the shape of the face was correct.

The alterations made to the snout of the wolf, seemed to make a huge difference to it's appearance and definitely made it look less cat like! Also, some of the tree textures I created weren't quite wide enough. The plan was to place the whole textures under the environments and then mask out certain areas. Therefore some of them needed to be made bigger.

I made sure that these new textures were at least A4 so that there was enough surface for Emma to work from when it came to compositing it in.
