Chillin’ At The Beach

The beach scene was initially inspired by a YouTube tutorial focused solely on creating the environment. Pleased with the end result, I decided to enhance it by adding more assets and including a character to animate the scene. The character, leisurely sipping his drink, embodies the essence of relaxation and peace as he enjoys his vacation.

Throughout this project, I discovered and learned to use a new technique called the graph editor, which allows trees to sway realistically with the wind. Creating the character was an enjoyable experience as I experimented with different color shades for his swimsuit and sunglasses, along with character rigging for animation.

I added colorful beach balls, starfish in various hues, shells of different shapes, and rocks of varying sizes to enrich the scene. However, the most captivating aspect of this scene for me was the texture of the ocean, depicting crystal-clear water and serene waves.
