Day 2

Ok well we presented our three ideas and past projects.  I feel like I didn't really have the time to do everything he wanted us to do but hay, it's done.  So I'm doing a little mini environment to showcase my lighting and texturing through an environment.  I'm really inspired by The Count of Monte Cristo, since I'm re-reading it.  Maybe I'll do the Chateau d'If or The Isle of Elba.  I could do a little Napolean over winter break and hide him in it :)  We'll see.  Anyways, I can use my pictures from Fort Pulaski and Castillio de San Marco for textures of d'If if I choose that.  I'll probably do the Isle of Elba so that I can have nature contrast with the large coquina wall structures.
Here's some pictures of these places.  Keep in mind, Elba was far less populated then so I wouldn't have all of those buildings with the smooth walls.  It would just be Porto Ferrajo.
