IMM 211-01 Animation I Tyler Getz

I haven't had a lot of time the last two weeks to do anything major, but I have added some new things to my midterm project/animation. The first thing I wanted to was add a background to my scene, which I was inspired to do after seeing some other midterm projects. In the screenshot below, I added a cartoon-ish background and changed the color of the plane in the scene to match the background. I am still working on getting it to match and have it blend in better with the background, I might have to find another picture for the background because this one is sort of difficult to work with.  Another difference is that for last week's assignment, I've added a directional light to give the scene some sunlight and have it match the tone of the background better. I already had a spotlight in the scene as well but I've been playing around with its settings a lot to make the pond more realistic.

The only advice I have is about the plates, which already look great but can definitely have a bit more texture to match the rest of the scene just a bit better. I'm interested to see what else you do with the scene, because I think it could look really cool in action with some s...
