For the next part of the project I have been researching lighting rigs and camera rigs for the dragonfly model. The links below are videos that I have looked at for research.

We discussed in the group that the character needed a small scene to be placed in, so the images below are some renders of what I have done so far.

final design and final colour scheme

now that we have picked the final colour scheme and design the next step for me and Scott is to design the textures and gather the resources needed for them whilst James and Mike start the modelling.

After gaining feedback from our lecturer and agreeing that our character was too humanoid we researched other areas to make it more insect like. These are some of the images that we used as research for the new robotics.
