Day 5 - Umbrella

I was trying to think of the things that are at a beach/tropical island. I think colorful umbrellas and benches give just the right feel.

Creating an umbrella is super simple, just create a circle and extrude that for the pole part. For the top part, create another circle extrude up, scale down to 0.1 on XY axis.

And the result will be something like the image below:

I also tried to create a color texture to see if it’d look more beautiful if we had simple colors and simple shapes but I think I like PSX style more. Here’s the palette I used:

I think I’ll try to mix two techniques of using realistic materials with using simple colors to see if it’d improve the visuals.

Please let me know which texture you think that look better!
