Some initial thoughts..

Scenery
- sea, islands, seagulls etc (like where I come from...what else?)
- in the middle of the scene there is an island with a port and the NNG Museum on it
- an annual exhibition, of the famous architect Apostolos Tsivolas, is taking place
- in the roof of the museum a gigantic sculpture, made by the famous architect, stands as a tribute to his mentor Mies van der Rohe.

Storyboard
-a yacht arrives and approaches the port
-from the visitor’s view we take a tour in the museum among the exhibits
-at the end of the route we take a balloon and travel around the roof sculpture

simple but...less is more!

Waiting to see your Drafts

Here is a stroryboard update.

I'm modelling the details around the museum, like a small seaport. I decided my island to combine a beach and huge vertical cliffs like the famous beach of "Navagio" (shipwreck) in Zakynthos-Greece.



1. bird's eye view
2-3. underwater views
4. view from boat's deck
5. walking on the seaport
6. walking among the exhibits in the museum
7. walking to the balloon
8. travelling around and over the building



also a small ocean/water test

Cool animation...the shadows looked like a wake at first, the boat is heading straight into the sun?

Thanx..yeah my intention is to make ship wake for more realism. Initially I thought an element like fog but yesterday I discovered this which is more natural. I hope doesnt need the pro version to achieve that effect...

You will get the pro license for the challenge, probably on Monday. Others will too

Island is almost done. Here is the untextured model-concept on it.










Ronen, do we have any news about the activation keys?

Thanks in advance

just another test



don't know why the camera motion isn't smooth enough..maybe is the 2 star quality or my crappy video card

I really appreciate the storyboard and the tests you are sharing with us!! =) I have never been to Zakynthos, but I have a boat driving license, and this summer I come to Greece by sailing boat!! Your idea is really really nice! The peace and the beauty of this place is fashinating!
