[Personal] - Scenery Progress

Here is my progress with the scenery. This is where the bulk of the animation will take place.

I created 3 planes and shaped them to form the surrounding grass, middle grass and the track. In order to make sure that the measurements were accurate, I included the model of my lawn mower as a reference. All I had to do was make sure that the scenery was big enough to make the lawn mower fit to scale.

Next, I created the black and white blocks. As mentioned before, I did indtend to use hay stacks as the barriers to the track. However due to the mentioned reasons, i went with these blocks instead. I simply made one block and copied it all around the track. The blocks are not all perfectly touching each other to form a neat circle. I did this on purpose, as the reference image that I used had done the same thing:



I then got to work on the surrounding fence. I based this off of those temporary plastic fences you see at places such as car boot sales, events, festivals and so on. I used the inset tool in order to create the holes. I will eventually use the soft selection tool to give each section of the fence some shape to make it look like the light plastic that it is:



Finally, I added the start/finish flag, a background and some grass texture.

I plan on added a section for the audience to stand, some advertising boards and perhaps some more detailed grass.
