What you see on a walk scene development

Evaluation of the scene:

I like the look and detail of this scene, however I think it would off been more effective if I was able to involve whole trees covered in leaves rather than just tree trunks (because my laptop would crash when I had too many trees covered in leaves in one scene *explained more in first render*). I would off liked to of been able to create my original sketch for this scene with a long path surrounded by lots of trees, however I managed to over come the problem of my laptop crashing well by using mostly tree trunks instead.

First render:

When I first started making this scene I wanted to create a long walk way surrounded by trees. However This is the most Trees I was able to have in a scene before my laptop would start to freeze and the software Cinema 4D would crash. Also when I had this many trees in the scene my view of the scene would jolt around, I couldn’t zoom in and out smoothly so it made it impossible to animate camera movement.

I realised to create a scene that I could animate and work on without my laptop freezing I would have to have less trees, as it was when I added the hair material in the software (what I used to make the leaves on the trees) my laptop couldn’t cope.

Second render:

This was my second attempt at the scene, I was still trying to involve trees and grass because I needed trees in the scene to show the opposite of what we see vs animals in the forest who are having their habitats cut down. My laptop couldn’t cope with the amount of hair material in this scene too so I had to re evaluate how I was going to make the scene. I then came up with the idea that I could use tree trunks to show there are trees in the scene but not have to have the leaves in the scene as it was the leaves that was making my laptop freeze.
