One of the big new things about Month of the Novel Season 2 is that due to the science fiction theme, we are amping up the visual effects. Our VFX supervisor, Ben Smith, is working on tests right now, and we wanted to share this one with you.

The first image is Ben’s concept art for a space frigate that appears in Episode 8. The second image is an early test render. When I asked Ben for details on the render, he told me it’s mainly a lighting test, and that he’s still working on the textures and model.

Cool, huh?

Our Indiegogo fundraiser for Season 2 is still running and going pretty well, but we’re not there yet. If you haven’t had a look, check it out. We’d appreciate it if you’d share it with your friends, too. A tweet or Facebook post goes a long way, not just for raising funds, but also for getting the word out about Season 2.

Stay tuned for more behind the scenes blog posts!
