Superman/Ending Scene Layout & Animation Progress

Superman/Ending scene is the most challenging from our whole animation. This scene includes all of our characters and several props. Therefore, we decided to use StandIns and matte painting for the props as palm trees and buildings in the background. We used grass texture applied on a plane and a few modelled grass stalks for the gorund. We've done several tests for the grass using paint effects grasses. However, we couldn't achieve cartoonish/comic book look with any of those grasses. There is still a few more things left to adjust as for example the bushes behind bench or lighting of the scene, but we are currently moving on to the animation part and we'll come back to correct details later on.
