AD ASTRA - antenna design

had a great time working on the design of this huge structure for the opening sequence of the film. I wanted to show some of the process we went through to make this thing happen. The design was a constant 2D / 3D back and forth and wouldnt be possible without a great assets team, so a big shout out to Kulwant Raju, Mickael Yon, Christopher Helin & Yecid Munoz.
Wanted to share some of the steps designing, from quick rough sketches to clay render 3d builds all the way to the final look.

establishing shot i also did the matte painting for and also enhanced some of the texture work in 2D
