I think I like the night setting (dawning) better than the daylight.

King fisher study

Pink and white terrace Story board

This is Pink and White terrace in Rotorua New Zealand

I am going to have Kingfisher as my second element.

This bird is going to fly towards the terrace 

dive into the water to catch a fish

fly out and glide towards and up the terrace 

(show in birds eye view)

Assignment 2 creating an environment

Pink& White terrace

Research. Pink and White Terrace doesn't exist any more.

This place was one of the natural wonders of New Zealand

It was gone in 1886 by volcanic eruption and now you can only see mirky lake in this place.

The shape of this environment is like a stair

made out of multiples of tubs.

Possible textures that I could use for the rock

when it is still

when the bird dives into the water.

Possible textures that I could use for the water

(At that time the water was clear so you couldn't see the water falling down)

When the scene changes into birds eye point of view

I am going to show a map with the location of the terrace.
