After initial approval of the Cinesite concept model, the reticulating plate patterns and other key areas of the ship were further refined in shot by shot necessity such as the cannons, center door, and anything that played super hero in frame. Many areas of the ship are seen in very close proximity, which became challenging both geometrically and texture wise. In the end the low res of the model was 4 million polygons with near…
