Testing and experimenting over
It’s only a few weeks left now so my experimenting and testing is done!
I would like to have done a bit more but I have to work on finishing the project now.
I’m planning to finish all modelling and texturing this week and then finish the animations next week.
After that all that is left is rendering and tweaking.
Last week a read a lot about paint brush (to create the bushes and trees in the scene). Paint Brush can be a lot more useful than I first thought. There are a lot more attributes and beahavior you can change in a paint brush (although hard to control sometimes) and the animation features are really good for animating things that can be hard o animate in other ways (like bushes ans trees). You create something like a tree and then change the attributes to make in look and behave like something completely different.. You can also convert the brush into polygons so that you can UV-map and change textures and the geometry of the object.
That is what I have done here. It’s a birt hard to tell here but the tree has a new leaves and bark textures and a bump and a displacement map. I also animated the grass and leaves to change season…
