RIN - Neural environments

Here's a couple still frames from shots that are of the neural environment in my animation. I went through a number of iterations of texturing and lighting setups to try to get a feeling of a dark, heavily populated space. I'm using small particles, backlighting, and shallow DOF to try to get something of a aqueous micro-environment. The particles are very de-emphasized because they shouldn't draw attention to themselves, but they are a subtle part of the animation.

This shows the long apical dendrites of pyramidal cells with astrocytes and interneurons interspersed.


The probe allows for photoconversion of fluorescent molecules.


Pretty much exactly a month left. Tick tock.

Later,
Stuart

  1. Great feel to those shots. Like walking through the jungle at dusk.

    All the best as you bring this home. We are cheering for you. BWJ
