Like the characters, The Sets, or environments were all created entirely in the computer. Many of the Backgrounds were based on concepts from the game or movie, but enhanced in the computer to take advantage of generated action and camera moves that were simply not possible by using traditional animation techniques.
The Backgrounds are first built in the computer, as wireframes. This gives the backgrounds their basic structure. They were then covered with texture and color for the desired design. To add an even more realistic look in their environments, the characters are given drop shadows that fall on the different backgrounds. Finally interactive lighting is added to take us one step beyond animation, giving the characters and set a true live action feel.
