We’re continuing with Lana Easteregg. I really liked her tutorial for beginners, and this waterfall cake looks interesting enough to explore further while reusing my knowledge.
I finished modeling the cake, the waterfall, and setting up the grass.
It gave me the opportunity to implement what I’d learned previously. Rather than placing the different elements manually, I used the Scatter on Surface modifier with weight painting and so on.
The practical resource provided by the tutorial is the Poly Haven website, which offers free, public domain HDRIs (HDR images) that can be freely reused.
Next step: the other elements to add to the cake, texturing, and probably other things.
I also discovered the British series about an unconventional heist, Steal starring Sophie Turner, known for playing Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones and soon to be Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider series by Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag, Killing Eve, Indiana Jones 5). Well, it’s not bad at all, but I can’t say anything without revealing spoilers, just like the famous Pluribus that I just started watching, and it’s very good so far. In the fourth episode, there’s a Panic Pete.
