For this iconic concept, we were charged with creating a dynamic character that defined both power and precision. We looked to seamlessly combine all that defines the Eagle with the sleek elegance of a Plane, but to give the finished character personality, and a connection with the audience. Character Design is a specialty of ours, and it shows in each nuanced detail of this character. The overall style of the character and scene was mythical, and magical. Hand modeled feathers transition from eagle to metal, that elegantly defined the detail of the wings and tail. 

For the world in which our character presides, we looked to create an environment that felt as majestic as the Eagle. We were able to adjust and render alternate angles and scenes, changing lighting for various times of day, and integrate with 6 different poses of our Eagle. 

Pine trees were scattered onto relief maps of the rolling hills. Plants were built and propagated on top of the contoured terrain and overlaid with volumetric clouds and haze in the trees. To create this in a natural way where the light caught the layers of fog, the top cloud layers and additional fog was built using a z-depth pass.
