30-Day 3D Model Challenge 12/30

Day 12 – Freestyle design

A 2D diorama builds over several days in the virtual 3D space. Here is what I came up with from day 1.

Here is an image of the pen drawing I reference in the VLOG video. I made a painting from this once but it didn’t capture the currents in the water and the air like designed. I am hoping to catch that more here.

In the first video, I set up some blank plates that I plan to use to create my Diorama.

In retrospect, it might have been better to set each plane on a unique layer per the Boolean intersect issues I had in the second video. Or, I just don’t really understand how those Boolean intersects yet. (Bahoolian!)

In the second video, you can taste my pain as I struggle with getting the Boolean to intersect not delete my entire piece. I also need help with camera placement and zooming in on my work. In other words, if you want to skip a video this is the one to skip! See the pink triangle!? That’s how you know it’s the Boolean Intersect action.

In the final video, I get the background and mountain plate set.
