Above images are testing light, material, and environment in a nearly closed space. Also testing billboarding with a flat object that follows the camera. My plans for this project is to make a cartoon styled Aquarium. Aquariums have interesting textures and lighting in both having closed spaces, blue or other colored low lights, and sometimes lighting from outdoors due to windows. Aquariums are also great for the exploration feeling for a game, my goal is to make the aquarium feel slightly liminal.
I’m hoping to create most assets myself using Blockbench, Blender, or just having transparent images billboarded onto flat mesh planes.
