Week 2

Hey guys, once you've made your posts for the week 2 task, add a comment to this post with links to those blog posts. Just make one comment each that has several links, one link per post you've made for this week.

In case anyone's unsure, your week one task requirements can be found here.

For a quick reference, these are the things you have to have proof of on your blog:

- Find 5 reference images of different landscapes. Post them to your blog Include an image of your country of origin. In a short sentence, list characteristics of the vegetation, terrain, lighting for each one.

- A clear statement saying which image you've chosen as the basis for your work in GeoControl2.

- A clear statement of what your letter and number are (I can figure this out, but this just saves me the effort trawling through the class lists :P)

- Using Fraps, post 5 images from different vantage points within your custom island. Each image should illustrate a different sense of scale. Use objects as brushes to help the viewer identify the sense of scale in each image. Write a word under each image that best describes the feeling of that image. (To show a sense of scale, you need to use things that have a known size, and put them in the image... so people, cars, buildings, or trees would be good examples.)

- Three images of your 2d island, created based on a different one of your 5 reference images.

- Post your new terrain texture to your blog. Make sure the texture suits the kind of aesthetic your terrain's reference image has. So if you've chosen rolling grassy hills, it should be a grassy texture, or if you've chosen a sandy beach, it should be a sandy texture.

- Post an image showing your custom terrain texture applied to your island.
