Week 2 - Tutorial

This is the scene I created for the week 2 tutorial task - some kind of fever-dream-tourist-hellscape-island which has been trashed by visiting tourists... The scene contains the following elements:

• Ocean (just a blue-coloured plane)
• Island (a yellow-coloured sphere scaled to look like a sandy island)
• Barrels of Comic Sans Rum© (reused from previous task)
• The Broadcast Australia Tower from Mt. Wellington
• Palm Trees (Source: https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/3d-oldschool-lowpoly-animated-vegetation-vo...)
• Soda Cups (Source: https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/3d-design-illustration-browser-model-137349...)
• Picnic Baskets (Source: https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/3d-square-basket-1500562)
• Picnic Tables (Source: https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/table-picnic-3d-model-1347295)
• Boeing 787 (Source: https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/free-boeing-787-8-1-3d-model/858876)

I didn't have any particular theme in mind for my scene when I started making it, I just slowly added a few items one by one. However, the soda cups and barrels gave me the idea for a tropical island littered with various things left behind by tourists. Making the ocean and island were pretty easy (although I really could have made them look nicer, but I wanted to focus on the items inside the scene). Finding nice palm tree models that were also free was surprisingly difficult, a couple of times I downloaded a model but couldn't get the textures to work. Eventually, I settled on a palm tree model then found a picnic table and picnic basket model to finish off the scene. I enjoyed arranging the objects at slight angles to simulate them being partially sunken into the sand or leaning over the beach.
