Terrain!

For today's lesson of visualisation, we was looking at different ways to create terrain in the 3D world. The first way we learnt was the shape merge button. Shape Merge merges splines to objects, creating new edges and polygons on the object. Here, i have created an s shaped path/crater, a hill in the top right and a small mound in the bottom right.

This is how it looked (in stylised Ink) It's quite convincing as a rocky terrain. Such a simple creation.

NEXT, we learnt the Terrain button. It's pretty straight forward. You draw the contours of a mountain in splines, move them to the appropriate heights, then Terrain them.

And this is what you get:

I then decided to make up my own lil Island. I name it Delano!

I submerged it in a plane of water, just because it looks nicer in the stylised coloured pencil.

There was one more way to create a terrain, which was displacement. I had not yet attempted that in the lesson, as i got carried away with my island.
