A sample process for modeling your environment project!

As requested: Below lies an example for creating your environment project!

• Gather reference images that relate to the idea you are creating.
• Start by sketching out a draft of your scene. Use the techniques we mentioned in class to get a decent idea of basic size relationships, lighting, composition, and the like.
• Give your objects basic shaders so you are aware of the color relationships in each part of your project!
• Then, put that version of your scene in a layer. 
• Set the layer to "Reference(R)" or "Template(T)" so you can start building the actual models of your scene.
• Model your objects at this point! Work one at a time, working from the origin (place where the x, y, and Z axis intersects).
• Place the objects in their respective locations.
• Once 90% of your models are created, start texturing your scene! Use this time to flesh out the basic shaders you have already created!
• Go back to the lighting you originally established. You will probably need to make updates! Add, remove, or enhance the lighting and shadows you have to make a more believable scene!
• Continue texturing your scene, creating test renders to check different parts of the scene.
• When you are almost done, add in any last elements you need to tie the scene together!
• When you are done, produce your final renders! Open those images in photoshop and make any final edits to contrast or depth of field that you choose to create.
