Should've brought a rope - Rough Playblast (Patreon)

Poor space hero! At this rate he'll be in debt forever!

Here's a super early look at the intro of the second Encounter animation! Just like in the previous film, there's a small conversation with the snarky radio communication voice that will help getting the plot rolling a bit. Zoe is patiently waiting behind the cliff in the meantime and will make her entrance soon. The intro is almost done in terms of animation and a bit over a minute in terms of length, this will help setting a mood a bit before we get to the fun stuff! 

All things considered, Zoe will most likely be included in the next playblast. I'm still making some last revisions to the script before having the lines recorded by the voice actors, which will be done before the character animation, as it's likely easier for me to animate this way. The entire voice cast of this animation will be the same as in the first Encounter, guess it's safe to say that I'll try to keep it that way for all the future animations as well! (:

As always, the quality of this playblast is fairly rough! I've removed most of the environment assets and reduced most of the base shapes to low-poly objects, as I need to keep the scene small for animating. Lighting is also heavily reduced and there's some wrong materials like the POV character's skin, which looks super bright and glowy here. None of this represents the final quality of course.
