Inspiration
 
We gained our inspiration from the classic board game, Monopoly

Story

Originally, we planned on recreating the monopoly board as a real place. Our thought processes led us to instead create a more realistic representation of a part of the game board.

Problems and Solutions

P1: Skytracer not dropping to horizon in some areas
S1: Raised a hill to take up the background below skytracer
 
 
P2: Skytracer not showing up or rendering at odd angles
S2: replaced original skytracer with a volumetric sky using the skybaker tool
 
P3: Lighwave and Modeler randomly closing and losing data.
S3: Save often
 
P4: Unable to find quality textures for the monopoly board.
S4: Went with a more realistic approach to creating the scene using volumetrics and more realistic textures.
