Digital Media Level 3 - Heaven and Hell, Part 7

Development of the fire animation has been the most difficult part of this project and has had to be redone more than once. I have managed to get this stage to a suitable standard but other problems have occurred also such as the spiral staircase idea. I have had to redesign the staircase entirely due to the limitations of both the camera tool and my knowledge of this program (3D studio Max). Instead of building a circular spiral staircase, I have designed a tear staircase having each flight of stairs lead down to a separate tear that in turn leads to another flight and another going all the way to bottom as shown in the images below.

Stage 15



Stage 16



The purpose of the staircase is to show the characters descent into to the hell world because Hell is seen as being below Heaven and Earth by most mediums. I also used the brick wall and relective black surface materials to build and eerie atmosphere, which will be complimented by the background music I intend to include.
