Start screen graphic



Well after several mock ups I came up with what I think is an OK graphic for the start menu, the light from the keyhole would move from right to left in a loop and I would put a sequencing brightness pass over all the letters with emphasis on the key at the end. I will continue to work on this idea perhaps with a background of brick wall and sky environment, as well as a ground plane to accompany the START, CONTINUE and EXIT type letter icons for the screen.

The letters seen where modeled in 3Ds max for future animation manipulation rendered under several different formats with several lights mr omni lights and multiple photometrics including spots. This is the final result.

Nice "god-rays"! Which tut did you follow?
Be careful, because that look has gotten a little cliche over the years. Maybe screen the animation over a dark background?

Yeah I know what you mean the tut was form you a while back it's basically a spot with fog.
