Dream Holiday Destination – Update #8

Today I have realised how far behind schedule I am as the project is due in 2 days and I still need to create a few more models, texture them, create the scene for the mp4 file by arranging the models, do the lighting, camera movements, and a few small animations, and then render it all in decent quality, which will take a few hours at least, I assume. In short: I am screwed.

I tried creating a little bonfire by follwing a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DwFfTwCrAE&ab_channel=Sartlearning) but upon creating the fire particles, I had a problem. In the video they come out green without the renderer, and like fire with the renderer. Mine were white circles both with and without the renderer, and I couldn’t figure out how to change the colour despite messing with all the colour options I could find. So it looks like I’ll have to do that tomorrow as well, or just texture this as a dead fire without any particles.

I also followed another video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxIATZwetH4&ab_channel=MikeHermes) to create a house. I am only a little ways into this model, but I won’t be using everything shown in the video. For starters, I haven’t used the porch shown in the video, though I may end up modelling that later for some variety in the buildings.

Once this model is finished, it will take a while to texture it along with the bonfire. So again, in short, I’m fairly certain it’s gonna be a long LONG day and night tomorrow.
