A great deal of this episode was created around a theme that I used as a means to help determine what artists and products should be featured. RawArt's apes for all generations, to me, are simply stupendous! I've always loved the look of them.
Ape World Gorilla for Genesis 8 Male really looks special to me - the face especially - but I think all of him looks fantastic and makes for a beautiful Kong!
As particular parts of the story began to evolve and I searched my library of assets and at Daz 3D for elements that would help them come together, everything I needed to decide just popped into view before my eyes - which is how most Creative Carts are born.
Finding (and buying) KindredArt's Jurassic Forest happened directly as a result of this search. I thought that it would really help out the Skull Island look that I was after - and I was more than right in that assumption - wow am I ever happy that I bought this!
Not only is the complete scene load-out amazing, but all of the added bits that it comes with became a Massive time-saver and visual improvement - along with giving me whole new techniques for getting higher-quality renders without being too much of a burden on time or my PC!
This is not all of them, but this short video is several of the "Kong" scene stitched together without any post processing other than some basic compositing of backgrounds to characters and the act of joining them into a series. These scenes were all made for the show - some of them are a direct result of the working of the show. But like I said earlier, this episode is Massive! This is just a small part of what this episode will have to offer!
