This was a very interesting and rewarding project. There were so many new programs and workflows I tried for this desert. This was a project I have been working on since early March (03/2022) and was tasked to make an environment with a focal point. I used Gaea for the first time to make the desert shape and environment. I then used Houdini for a lot of my props. Houdini was used for all cloth simulation on the tent, cushions and on the pots. The Palm trees and both bushes were also made in Houdini. I also learned this semester how to do photogrammetry and used that to make my rocks in the scene. My professor really pushed me on the technical side to make this an awesome environment and I couldn't be happier with the results.
