last december i started putting together this scene that was intended to be a little diorama of cinnabar island from pokemon red/blue/yellow. i mostly was using it to try techniques for spawning particles on a surface (the grass) as well as generate brick walls. i kinda made a huge mess when i built it (things parented strangely and with weird pivot points) and wasn't happy with how it was turning out (aside from the cute surfing pokemon model), so i just moved on.

i came back to it today because I wanted to try out the 3-point lighting i spent a couple hours on (also applied here) as well as a fingerprint clay shader I made following a tutorial earlier (also seen in my avatar). i also fiddled with a few other things

• position and scale of the two buildings in front
• add a copy of the pokemon center in the back roughly in the position of the lab
• copy a sign and place it beside the gym
• misc tweaks to object positions and scales to create an aesthetically pleasing composition within the camera frame (outside of the frame, lol)
• crank the camera focal length to compress the space, and add depth of field to hide the sins

there are a few more problems with it that i'm not going to bother to fix because i'd rather move on from it, but i'm pretty happy with how it turned out overall.

(put together a reusable lighting rig since I keep doing the same thing over and over, and decided to revisit this piece)
