Inspiration

While creating the idea for this project I had numerous papers and projects due. I was kind of at a loss for what I wanted to do. The one thing I could think of was laying on the beach, so naturally I decided to make my final project of the place I wish I was.
  
Objects
Time Frame
  • Ocean…..about a good 5 to 6 hrs… looking up tutorials, getting upset with my outcome throwing it away and starting over.
  • Deck….. 2-3 hrs.
  • Texturing on the deck……. 1-2 hrs
  • Sky….this went really fast but I played with all the settings. So about 1-2 hrs.Lighting.. 3-4 hrs and it could defiantly use more.
Problems and Solutions

Problem:
Just like everyone else there was an time issue.
Due to the fact that I am so new to this program, I was unfamiliar with many of the tools and spent most my time searching the internet for tutorials.
My biggest problems were trying to figure out the ocean. I found great tutorials but unfortunately nothing I did, looked even close to what they had.
The sky had a weird shadow that went over the whole ocean, but there was nothing there to make a shadow!!!!
