[Animation Scene] Scene 1

With the asteroid field created and my models textured, I started work on the first scene of my animation. In this scene a set of 3 tie interceptors and 3 a-wings both warp in, from opposite sides of the asteroid field. To create the warping effect I stretched the models out before keyframing their movement. Once they reached their destination, I then keyframed their scale back to normal and made them move forward a bit more, to give the effect that they are drifting after the warp. Below is a screenshot showing the scaling and an animated gif showing the finished effect.

Next I repeated this process for the A-wing ships on the other side of the asteroid field. Although the models aren't actually that far away from each other I made them appear to be completely separate from each other by making the camera cut and pan towards the other side of the asteroid field. The ships appear to be at different sides of the area, although in reality the Tie Interceptors are only just off screen when the A-Wings warp in, as shown in the gif below.

Below is a gif showing the camera change between the 2 sets of ships warping in. During these scene (and all future scenes) I have also employed two types of lighting. One is a very dim ambient light, to make sure the scene isn't too dark, and the second is a directional light, used to give the models more depth by using shadows.
