Got a little bit more texturing done today and played with some ideas for the animation. I took one of the renders into Photoshop to play, and ended up with something I think I could turn into a matte painting that I could use as the environment. Will have to go over some of my old matte painting notes to go over a few things, its been ages now. Im planning on having the helicopter at the bottom of a lift shaft on teh landing platform. Then the platform will rise up, and when it gets to the top, and the helicopter will take off and fly away. Below might end up being what the outside will look like, roughly.
