For my environment I wanted to do something that I could go back to for reference and even create my own textures to make it look exactly the same if not better.
I decided to use my parents Conservatory as it involved both interior modelling and lighting as well as exterior which would be the garden, it also gave me a lot of challenges with the multiple windows which I liked.
This is one of the millions of photographs I have taken of the conservatory and the garden. I liked this view as it's kind of framed by the doorway, the candle and the plant.
This is a painting I did of the view to get my head around where everything was placed. When I model this I will have all the blinds up so that the garden can be seen as behind these windows is a fence with lots of plants and flowers growing up it.
I am going to model this very realistically however i will make a few changes as I think the garden as it is would make for a boring model, I've also decided to cut out the washing line.
To add some extra life to my model I am going to have a flame on the candle and possibly have the TV and the ceiling fan on.
