Week 4

Hey guys, once you've made your posts for the week 4 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.

Since the fire alarm went off during the first tutorial, I didn't get to talk to everyone that was there. To make up for this, I'll be posting some feedback on your blogs if you're in the 2-4pm tut.

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

For a checklist of what to have up on your blogs:

1) Choose an image from today's lecture and post it to your blog.

2) Before and After screenshots of your island with the new skybox (FYI, skybox materials are found under Materials\Sky... other materials won't work, since they're not cubemaps). Make sure the two screenshots are taken from roughly the same place so a clear difference can be seen.

3) Screenshot of your time of day settings before modifying them.

4) Screenshot of your time of day settings after modifying them.

5) Screenshot of your island with the new time of day settings (from the same place as the previous screenshots).

6) Do steps 1-5 two more times, with different reference images and different skyboxes and textures both times. Post all images to your blog.

7) Continue working on your sublime scene. Include an example of each of the following environment effects in your island scene: fog, rain / weather, waterfall. For many of you, a good idea would be trying to incorporate them into your picturesque views!

8) Using Fraps, make a 15 second video of the above environment effects and the sublime nature of your custom island. Upload the video to YouTube and embed it on your blog.
