Scene 3

The production of the third scene started with the space shuttle model, deleting the reference plane and using the environment map for the star background.


The Space Station was introduced into the scene by opening the Space Station model and saving as an exported file.
Import was then used to select the exported file enabling the space station to appear in the scene.
The Moon was created by selecting a sphere, clicking on diffuse and mapping / dragging the image of the Moon to the sphere.

A path constraint was used to enable the Space Shuttle to travel toward the Space Station, with the addition of a camera to view the scene. Although the Space Shuttle object may be flipped to change the orientation as it travels along the path line, the overall direction may be changed by using the rotate tool to rotate the path line in the required direction.
