Essex Coastline - Sand and Wall

After I needed to add the sand to the scene which was very basic. I simply created a long plane and set it at a slight angle going down towards the ocean. I then applied a material to it which a bitmap of a sand texture which also had a slight bump map applied to it.











This is the rendered image of the beach scene with sand. I think that so far this looks very effective. However, something needs to be added behind to sand to make it look more like a beach and less like an island.















For this reason I added a wall and lifted the sky to show some bushes. The wall was given the same material and texture as Colchester castle as this looked very effective. All the planes were set to be very long in width and very short in height to give the illusion of distance of the camera.













This is a rendered image of the final scene. I am very happy with the final image as it was a very easy to make but effective scene. I had to be quick with this scene as I did not have much time before the presentation to make a detailed scene, but I will be able to make this better when I make changes.
