Island's Done!

After a few weeks of hard work, I'm done with the island. I think it's working really well. The clamshell design is really doing it for me.

The trunk is fully rigged, so I can move it around for the later scenes.

The leaves are rigged, too, so I can animate wind resistance.

I threw some coconuts up there to be used in my extremely awesome new ending I've been hatching up. I'm working it into my previz, and it should be up here in a few days.

But yeah. Island. Totally awesome. I like it a lot. So I've UVed (mostly) everything and have shipped out texture maps for my texture artist (super amazing digital painter Justin Monnier) to start working on.

Now all I have to do is make this ocean work.

Ugh.
