Changes to Scenery

After the presentation, I wanted to make changes to the beach scene to make it more interesting and have more animation. Firstly I created a few simple beach huts out of the box shapes. These looked very effective and were very fun to make as the doors all have different colours.













This is the material for the beach huts. I used the same texture and changed the colour of the original texture several times in photoshop. This was fun because I was able to pick whatever colours I wanted and experiment.



















I then made a flag to add some more animation to the beach. The flag was the very new to me because I have never animated anything like this before so I had no idea of how to go about it. I looked up a few tutorials online and found out how to make a basic flag move. Firstly I created the flag and gave it a cloth modifier. I then applied the cloth to the flag material and set the vertexes which would be attached to the pole, which was set as the node. I then made a wind feature and applied it to the flag which made the flag move efficiently as if it was blown by wind. I then clicked on simulate and it automatically made all the key frames for me.



















This is a render of the finished beach huts and flag. I am very impressed with it at this stage as it is a big improvement from what was shown on the scene before.
