final blog

This project has been long and enjoyable, these are the steps that I have taken to come up with the final render.

   1. Create a Drawing of environment for modeling, I created a quick sketch of what the environment would look like so I could have a visual to refer back to.

    2.Begin Modeling the environment, this took some time to get it all smoothed out and looking the way I wanted it to but overall it was easy and fun, this is where most of my time was spent.

        

    3. Created a Background for the environment, it included a sky dome and also a ocean since it is a deserted island, it was pretty simple to do but it took some time to get the water looking right.

          

    4. Created Fluid Clouds in environment it was simple to do was able to create the clouds and set key frames for them to move and shift also added a haze so it looked more realistic.

          

    5. Created 3d paint effects to add terrain to environment, I added grass and palm trees to make the island look a bit more realistic and give it some vegetation, I had a little trouble getting the grass to work correctly but after some searching I found out it was the UV's that I had to play with a bit to get it to work right. The paint effects ended up slowing the render time down considerably.

Then we have the final product

Final touch ups

Finished final touch ups, added lights and extruded the sides and back of model so in a 360 view you wouldn't be able to see under the model. overall I am happy with the final product.

Paint effects

Due to snow days and being absent I was delayed in finishing the paint effects for the island.
I added grass and trees here is the main layout, I plan on adding palm trees to make it look more like an island.
