outro creation

i started by assigning a picture to a plane so i could trace the letters to get them in the correct font. this turned out to be a very ineffective way of doing it and i ended up using the text editior and moving the vertexs to get the correct shape.

this was the created set of shaped planes

i selected the edges and extruded them backwards to create the 3d lettering and back ground. i did this to enable me to cast shadows, once the light is applied.

this is the final render with lights to illuminate the scene and 1 to cast shadows. i think having the 2 planes at right angles to each other with the shadows give a very atmospheric feel.

it was decided as a group that it needed a little extra to finish the animation off. so i added a kart and rig from my go kart scene and have them drifting across the screen to finish the video off.
