3-Dimensional Digital Art (Blender Projects, 2023)
Final Project: Model a real-world object and build a scene around it with at least 5 modeled objects.
Final Project: I modeled 4 seashells, all with unique procedural textures; the water, a plane with a procedural texture; and the sand, a plane sculpted and textured with a PBR and an extra footprint bump. The sky is a plane emitter using an image of the sky that I shot with my Nikon D5000 in March 2019 on Assateague Island.
