Birds and Bats
There's a lot of empty space in the sky. Why not enhance it with VFX of some birds or bats? With these sporadic flying creatures, an artist will most likely have to study their behavior and flight patterns to create a convincing effect. Luckily, in this week’s vault, you won’t have to wing it, as our flock of team members have nested their favorite references below!
