Alt Angles/Lighting - First preview

First off, thank you guys so much on the overwhelming feedback on the final release on Encounter 2! I sadly didn't get much time to celebrate, as I had a flight to catch only a few hours after the release, which was related to another project. 

There wasn't really much time to prepare for travels, which is why this trip had become a bit of a mess. Before leaving I had set up remote access to my home desktop, but it didn't initially work from the US. My friend however helped me out with fixing it, which means I'm back on track working on the alternative angles, with one of them having already finished rendering! To make things a little more worthwhile, I've set these scenes up with some alternative lighting, which closely resembles the one I've made for the post credits scene (which is actually just one of the lighting setups I made for Encounter 1 *cough cough*). There's still going to be a lot more to come, hopefully sooner than later as I'm really trying to catch up with my posting schedule here, hah! Some scene will obviously take a little longer, such as the handheld lick, for which I've planned an alternative POV angle, which will need a decent bit of modification in the animation. Should I not manage to make it look enticing then I'd likely go for a different angle, we'll see!

I'm hoping to address some of my future plans with the next post as well! There's quite A LOT that is coming up for both the short and longer term, with Encounter 3 of course filling out the later. Before that I'm hoping to deliver a couple more bite-sized animations to also test the upcoming 2.0 version of Zoe's model that I've been working on for quite a while. I'll keep you guys in the loop with more frequent updates throughout the month! Big apology for the long radio silence. Releasing Encounter 2 right before flying to California pretty much destroyed me and I'm still recovering. I should however slowly get back on track since I'm all set up again! (:
