Telling tales - set design (sky and mountains)

Getting on with the sky, I really like looking at the stars and thought it would be nice, to create a sort of astronomy chart styled sky, I looked on Google for a chart, and in photoshop on a seperate used a star looking brush to pin point the stars. 




 I then assigned this to a sphere in maya, and I think it looks really good, the set will be insider the sphere, so it actually looks like you're looking up at the stars.

I then found these really simple mountains created in Maya, and thought this was good inspiration to create mine.  


 To start I made some pyraminds and added loads of edge loops and just manipulated the vetexes to get a shape I thought looked good.
 I added a solid dark colour to it, as it's going to be in the background so it's not a focal point and doesn't need much detail.

With the objects from the fun fair, I hop they're just add some depth to make the world look less flat.

The world looks dark now, but with lots of light in the main area, the animation will be lit up nice, focusing on the characters.
