Inspiration/Story

I decided to model the pond in my backyard because I could use my digital camera to make textures from the actual objects I was modeling. There were many more objects that I wanted to model in my pond scene but sadly I ran out of time.

Problems and Solutions:

I had problems trying to get the water to look right. I tried several tutorials and it seemed that they left out key steps in many of the tutorials. Eventually I based the water on the Water Fountain tutorial done by a fellow class member. Layout drove me mad, I didn't get the angles I wanted when I did my renders, repositioning the camera was very frustrating.
