The Day It All Started

This project started with a simple idea. I wanted to model a water fountain with sunflowers growing on the inside instead of water. I searched the internet for reference pictures of water fountains. Than my eye got caught by some screens of the Unreal 3 Engine. Crazy amazed i was, bud this gave me the inspiration to model my own fountain. Modeling the fountain itself wasn’t the thoughest part on this project. More about that later.

The Feeling Of The Fountain

When i Made the fountain i felt that the floor that was laying under the fountain should be very real and tough. In Holland we call these stones “Kinderkopjes” which means childrens heads, cause the stones are rounded on the top, just as an human head. A Displacement map that i made in photoshop should create this realistic effect.
