Hi All,
After following cggeeks low poly tutorial I decided to try and create a little island in the ocean as my first ‘own idea’ in Blender.
I think it came out quite reasonable and took me about 5/6 painstaking hours! Lots of googling and going back to cggeeks original tutorial. I decided to do the final render in Cycles as I couldn’t get the shadows to work properly in Eevee which made the whole thing look even faker than it already is! haha
Birds eye:
Observatory (my first ‘own designed building’!):
Lakeside (first time using shift + R, which is an awesome shortcut!):
I’m looking for ways to improve this. I think it can be improved a lot by changing the background to something more fitting, but I have currently no idea how to use the HDRi image data while not using it as the background.
I also feel my renders are not very sharp and I can’t seem to figure out why.
Let me know what you think and how you suggest improving it!
I don’t like sharing the work at this stage, but feel like it is the only way to get better and meaningfully improve what I’m doing!
Thanks for your critiques in advance!
