I exported the TIFF sequence into Nuke to make the finishing touches. I slapped everything onto a card so I could place things within 3D space. First I animated 2 turbulent noises to act as fog along the water to give the shot more atmospherics. I placed the cards in front of one another so the camera would move through the haze. I originally animated the camera in Blender, but the movement is basically non-existent, so I just animated the camera in Nuke to mimic the movement I wanted. Next, I used a combination of glint, noise and sparks to make the stars; however the stars are barely blinking in the final output and had my render gone faster, I would have been able to edit that. Overall, the water simulation seems to work fine, but just more refinement was needed to really make this shot more interesting. But I did manage to achieve the aesthetic I wanted and I am glad that I was able to do this because I have already learnt a lot from this task which will help me in the future :)

The modelling setup was way more simple than what I thought it would be I just used a plane, added an ocean modifier, keyframed the time, adjusted the scale and choppiness, added a material, set it to a dark blue grey with maximum transmission and 0 roughness. For the mountains I used the landscape generator and adjusted the noise height, frequency, and type until I got the shapes I wanted for the mountains. I duplicated the mountains and rotated them so they didn’t look the same. Next, to setup the materials I downloaded a rock and grass texture from textures.com and by using a mix shader, and colour ramp node, I was able to mix the textures together to create a somewhat realistic mountain from a distance.

The moon was super easy, I just found a moon texture map, UV unwrapped the sphere geometry, placed the texture, used RBG curves (toned up red) to make it pink, then plugged it in as an emission

Once I was happy with the setup, I exported it as a TIFF and comped it in Nuke.

MAJOR PRAC DESIGN BRIEF

MAJOR PRAC DESIGN BRIEF

______________________________

For the major prac, I decided that I wanted to explore water simulation a bit more, but Houdini was running way too slow on my computer and I wanted to try and comp it into an actual scene, so I decided to create the scene in Blender. This ended up being a Blend between a matte painting and water simulation.

I took inspo from some images I found online, and decided I wanted to create a short fantasy ocean that emulated the same feel as these images.
