Planning My scene

After creating my character, I had a few ideas on what directions to take my animation in. I felt like the character resembled some sort of adventurer like Indiana Jones, so I wanted to make a scene in a jungle or desert where the character is on a journey of some sort or an adventure.

I began planning my scene, I wanted the character to scale a mountain at first, but it didn't seem appropriate. I thought that since the character is some sort of adventurer, a temple would fit a lot better.

I began creating a few plains for my area, the middle was where my scene is to take place, the others are surrounding scenes so the area looks a lot more natural. The surrounding areas would be mountains, this is to block off any view to under the planes or skydome, which would leave to black patches which would look odd.



I used the sculpting tool to create my mountains and then textured them with a stone texture;

Heres how my area looked after I had finished. I painted over the mountains to create some snow on the texture, I dont like it that much but, it didn't seem to look bad when I placed a camera down to render the scene from closer up.
