Title : Moments before Volcanic Eruption

Volcanic eruptions are powerful and awe-inspiring events that have captivated people for centuries. From natural disasters to the beauty of nature, the motivations behind creating a volcanic eruption scene vary. In movies and TV shows, volcanic eruptions are often depicted to show the devastating impact of these events on communities and the environment. Here we have an active volcano site where people have come to look at its activity.

As a team, we generated a multitude of ideas for the scene through brainstorming techniques. These ideas were then evaluated and refined, taking into account the project goals and technical limitations. We first thought of making a volcano surrounded by others, but that required very big scenes that have to be created. Then there were some ideas which were rejected due to feasibility or relevance to the project goals. For example, an idea to depict an underwater volcanic eruption.

We then researched and found out most volcanos are around sea areas. So we tried to made this.

Technical

The scene was constructed wholly but modelled partially in Blender. The volcano torus and the sea plane were hand-modelled in blender. Helicopter and fisher boat were sourced from the internet.

The scene contains 21431 triangles. We tried to render the scene with all the point lights, materials and textures, but unfortunately the shading didnt take effect on final render (we still cant figure out why??). We were able to generate all the aspects of a ray-tracer such as materials, lightning, texturing etc, in our assignments, however, due to some unclear reasons, we couldnt reproduce them on our rendering competition scene.
