| | Inspiration
When we were first assigned this project I was really wishing that it were sunny and warm outside. And then it hit me that I should create the warmth that I was wishing for. So I decided to create a beach scene. Although I wanted to do something a little bit different so I decided to do a sum what deserted island. I created an ideal island, with things that you might normally find comforting.

| | Problems and Solutions
First off I had a little trying to create water. So I decided to go and try to find a texture that looked like water and then I just gave it a little tweaking so that way it looked like water. I think it turned out pretty well.
Another place where I ran into a problem was with my island. At first I tried to do points and then lathe them, but went it can time to render they were showing shadows straight through the island. So I decided that I would just create a ball and just use the top half of it. It ended up during out well.
My biggest problem for this problem was trying to create sky. I got to actually create the sky, but once I shrunk the sky box the clouds disappeared when I went to render the scene. So then I thought to just make the rest of my scene bigger to fit inside the box, but then it ruined my textures. I then tried to just give it a sky horizon, but every time that I went to render the scene the sky would not come all the way down to the ground. So then I decided to pull my whole scene up to the sky but that did not work the sky just continued to go up and live a big black line between the sky and the water. I never got the sky to work correctly so I decided to just go without the sky and focus on the island.
Overall, the rest went pretty well. I did not really have trouble with anything else. My main problem was just the sky. If I had some more time I would have liked to have gotten the sky to work. Although everyone that I asked about the sky could not help me with my problem, so I was unable to fix it.
