3ds Max Development

Here are some images of my almost finished Batcave. As you can see I have made the Batcave rather modern. I didn’t want to make it to dull and un-hitec like the 60’s versions of the Batcave. However, this does not stand for the Batmobile. Although there is a more modern version of the Batmobile from the movies, I think it looks too much like a tank; the Batmobile from the animated series has a more darker and sinister feel to it, which represents Batmans personality more I reckon. Also the 60’s model of the Batmobile looks to awkward. It looks like a pathetic attempt and trying to be futuristic.

All I need to do now is decide whether to include a Batplane into it, and where to put the lights within the Batcave. Although this seems simple, it isn’t, because the Batcave itself is supposed to rather dark, but at the same time I need to add lighting and shadows to make everything look more realistic. So picking my vital spots for lighting is very important.

I know its probably rather obvious to do the Batcave (Batmans lair)......but what I thought was that although most people will do the Batcave, theres obviously loads of different intepratations on the Batcave, from movies, to tv shows or even comics they all have their own unique style. Therefore I'am going to make my Version of the Batcave a lot more personal and creative. Here are some images I found on the internet that have sprung some ideas I may use in my final design.



This clearly shows a lot of potential. They are many components that make this lair interesting. It’s very well structured. This is my most valuable source.



I like this photo because it seems rather futuristic and I like the colours used in it, I think the colours are very symbolic to the character of batman as well.







I like this picture because it really focuses on the interior of the Batcave (the rocks and sharp cones of stone coming down from the ceiling).
