It seems like ages, since I last posted up an artwork.

I have been busy learning the brand new interface of Blender 2.8.

It has changed a lot, to the previous releases. So, I have been patiently familiarizing myself, with the new locations of functions; that have since been moved to different places on the interface. This has been really frustrating at times. But, on a positive note; there are lots of exciting new features that came along with 2.8. Which gives me a greater opportunity to increase my knowledge and skills further of 3D modelling and composition.

This is my first Blender artwork created in Blender 2.8, using the Cycles renderer and filmic feature.

To inspire me to create this picture; I followed a wonderful tutorial by Wayward Art Company. The link is below:

In previous times, I have usually created landscape scenes, by unwrapping the mesh and placing a texture onto it. And, then adding a normal map. This tutorial gave me the opportunity to try a landscape using displacement and procedural textures. So, it showed me; how to add sandy beaches to the shore line and the white foam you get in the sea; along with applying separate textures to different parts of the landscape.

I chose to slightly move away from the tutorial, by making my own scene around sunset time. And, I added the helicopter, for extra detail; and made my island look more green to the one in the tutorial. I found this an excellent learning experience to add to my skillset.
