Three Seeds - My Short Movie

I'm currently working on my first animated short movie called "Three Seeds". Would like to keep a diary kind of thing here on my blog, to keep track on my progress while I work.

The picture you see in this post is a testrender to check out my light set up. I still have a lot to do on this scene. Modeling and texturing. I have applied some basic maya shaders to get a better read on the light.
This picture is from scene2, the first official scene after the opening title.

Whats left to do in this scene before animating

Main House

• More details like roof gutter
• Table and a chair on the terrace
• Some elements on the small wall where the wood are. (Hammer and a handsaw?)
• Grass that sticks up in between the road and some other places
• Lay out more road
• Mailbox?

Chicken house

• Same kind of details on the wall as the main house
• A door
• Elements inside the chicken area

In general

• More details on the tractor
• Some new trees (not sure if I should keep them as simple as they are now?)
• Texturing
• Light tweaking
  

I will post more information about the project and the story when I'm a bit more in the process.
I have a finished storyboard, and some progress on the main characters..
