Now that I have set the scene for Plastic Terras, I now need to do the same for the Ekkah one. Here is the cover art so I want to keep the same colours which I think will be easy. I also need to include the mint green disks.
Here I just took the outline of the three circles and extruded them. I didn’t like the way this looked, I think the idea was that they were suppose to be vinyl records.
So I used the principle shader nodes to create the right kind of colours to reflect the original. I used the render view to make sure the camera was angled correctly. I chose to move the extruded EKKAH logos at a 45 and -45 degrees so you can still read the letters but also see the extrusions.
I knew that in the original there were three discs, so I made a circle and rotated in axis so that they were 3D.
I was trying to figure out how to make the disced ribbed and textured like a really vinyl record but couldn’t find a tutorial or a free model that I could use. I did settle on making the disc have a ripple throughout the disc continuously. This was made from the ripple node below. I still haven’t figured out the right setting which is something I need to ask Medhi about.
I started to remember that I hadn’t included ‘Wendy’s Yard’. I tried to include it in the scene but once again there were holes in the letters again. I was going to do the boolean technique that I have used previously.
When looking in the render view I realised that because I am not making the ‘wendy’s yard’ extrude so I could just over lay the type over the video once I had collated the pngs in a sequence on after effects.
Overall I am really happy with this outcome and just need to check with Medhi before I start to do a final export. I really hope that Ekkah (the) band will like this project.
