Pirate Ship Environment Lighting and Rendering 3 Lighting Scenarios Grace Yuhas

Step 1: Environment Model and Camera Angle Goals: -Make the boat the focal point, simplify elements to create a clearer story. -Next Steps: Texture, Resize, Reposition to make the set believable (pirates are floating at sea).

Step 2: Shading and Texturing Goals: -Create contrast between environment elements to try to make the boat the focal point. -Next Steps: find more life like textures for mountain and water, create a new bump map for the water to make the boat look less small and “toylike,” retexture the boat to look more like a pirate ship.
