Fall Animation Project

For my project this fall I wanted to design something from my childhood reimagined in my own way. My project is of my own custom podracer from the Star Wars universe. I have always been fascinated with vehicles of Star Wars and decided to create my own. I drew part of my inspiration from Sebulba's podracer from Episode 1 and then crafted it to fit the design that I had imagined. I also am designing a track for it as well, and the track is something that I created with inspiration from two planets, Naboo and Kashyyyk and my knowledge of ancient structures to create an ancient looking course. I personally love the fracture effect I created on the walls of the track to represent impact markers and just to create an effect of wear and tear on the track. I'm not sure what part to add next, either an environment or animation, however I believe it will turn out well no matter what course I choose.
