Section 2.27 - Mid-Section Challenge - Island in the Distance

[alexme]

Hi! I originally wanted to do a scenic shot of a cave but really liked a rock formation I made so I turned it into an island. Also wanted to mention that the “water” is just a blue plane, but I managed to get that effect while playing with the Roughness of the material.
Really enjoyed this one, but I had some problems while exporting with Cycles (that’s the second image), since some noise appears on the boat whenever I render or use the Renderer Shader. Anyone got any ideas on why that might’ve happened?

Eevee

Cycles

Don’t compare eevee with cycles. Two completely different render approaches.
You will learn.

Yeah it happens with Cycles sometimes, but there are ways to deal with it. Not to worry, as @FedPete said, it is covered more later in the course.
