INSTRUCTIONS
PROJECT 2 : Themed Scene-based Modeling
You are required to model a scene based environment on the provided themed
concept using various techniques you have learned. The final output will be
in a diorama or isometric composition. Search reference images or
blueprints. Model the selected object using polygon tools and techniques
based on what you have learnt. Apply the right material and texture to give
its appearance. Set lighting and rendering using ‘Eevee’ or ‘Cycle’ as the
rendering engine. Use Eevee or Cycle rendering (Blender ) for final output.
Output size is 1280 x 720 with png format.
Mood Board
I am interested to model part of the Japanese style temple with temple lamp, bridge and tree.

Sketch
I have sketched the scene modeling in Clip Studio Paint Pro.

Modeling
I first started with a base and marked the height of the temple.

I used Bisect tool to cut the surface of the rock.

Colouring
I then added colour to the modeling. The main colours are blue, red and green. I also added emission light on the lamps.

Lighting
Next, I added two yellowish lighting on top of the model to light up the scene. Now the scene looks more warm.

I have taken a few screengrabs before deciding on the background colour.

Rendering
I tried to render the final model in Cycles and Eevee. Both render output have significant differences. However, I still prefer the render output in Eevee.

|
Finally, I also rendered some extra views from different angle using Eevee.

REFLECTION
In this theme-based scene modeling project, I learnt to present my concept through modeling different combinations of objects like temple, bridge, pond, tree and lamp posts in Japanese style. I learnt to model things I never try before like the bridge and the roof. I have successfully applied the basic knowledge gained from the previous projects. The lighting is a bit tricky as I need to show the details of the model but yet I want to preserve the dim lighting at the background. This is the reason why I prefer the render output in Eevee than Cycles. At the end of the day, I have proud of what I have produced in the limited amount of time. I look forward to the final project of modeling a character.
