We are nearly finished animating the Hulk scene as well. Top view shots of this scene are even initialy rendered out as we couldn't properly see the traffic in playblasts because the cars are only StandIns. Hulk scene only needs to get done the shot of Bruce Banner transformed into Hulk and then we're ready to render this scene out as well. Front view animation progress.

We're pretty much finished and ready to render Batman scene as well.  We're planning only to adjust timing on close-up of the gloves shot, then we'll start render this scene out. Batman clipping his belt scene playblast. Batman putting on gloves scene playblast. Batman's face close-up scene playblast. Batman coming out of his garage scene playblast. Full playblast of Batman scene.

Full playblast of Flash coming down the stairs scene. We believe that this is the final playblast and we are ready to render Flash scene out. 

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.  1. - 8. grass test using paint effects Latest render test and scene set up.

As the Hulk scene required many cars around Hulk's car, we decide to use StandIns for those cars to be able to achieve the quickest render time possible with a quite complex scene. We've also decided to change the lights to a Skydome light with HDR sky image applied to it and one additional point light. We're currently moving on to the next stage and starting with animation for each of the scene.  Latest render test of the front view scene.  Scene set up for the bird's eye view scene with StandIns instead of car models.  Render test of the bird's eye view scene.
