Project
August Continued.
The palm leaves were produced using the line tool with the extrude modifier.
I decided to use the “Bend” modifier to arc the leaf into a more natural position, otherwise they looked too square.
For the tree trunk I duplicated 12 cone shapes vertically and merged them together. For a more natural appearance I added the “Bend Modifier”.
The next step was to create an umbrella to put at the front of the scene. The top of the umbrella took time to get right. The umbrella was produced using the Sphere object and cutting it into a hemisphere shape.
I then had to select the “Edges” option of the editable poly and select specific segments within the object. Then by selecting the “Loop” option it expands the selection so that areas directly attached towards the centre are also selected. From here it allows the user to select the centre of the object and by pulling the area upwards it starts to transform the object into an umbrella shape.
The pathway was created using multiple boxes, flattened and placed alongside each other.
The shadows were produced using 2 spotlights.
They are cast across the beach from the direction of the sun. By adjusting the settings I believe I have picked up the correct direction and shading for the shadows on each of the objects. The light gradually gets darker on the image as you look further away from the sun.
