Stages in the Making of 3D Art

5 "Stages" in the Production of a 3D scene

Here is our final scene. To follow the stages in its making, see below.

 

Stage 1 is shown below. Create a terrain (ground plane) and use the default sky.

 

Stage 2: add two Joshua trees.

 

Stage 3. Change sky and atmosphere to something different.

 

Stage 4: Add the water (ocean). Notice how the lighting changes since the ocean water reflects more light than the previous texture.

 

Stage 5: Add in the Spanish fighting ship and render. We are done.
