Environment in different weather conditions

Milestone 1 presentation

Lisa Hellström

PurposeThe purpose of this project is to learn how to create an environment from scratch and then figure out how to change the weather conditions or seasons in the scene. I think the biggest challenge will be to make the transitions from one weather/season condition to another in the scene in a way that looks natural.

Goal The goal is to create a short (circa 40 seconds) film clip of my scene where the weather and camera angle is changing over time.

PROJECT GOALS

Sun rain ice snow
