Step 5: Background Objects

Goal : To add some context to the scene by creating some rough
background geometry.
Input : My original rough sketch.
Tool : SketchUp.

I created rough geometry for the cliffs and the wave surface by using
the free-form curve tool to create an organic shape, and extruding
it along a path. The result was not pretty, and certainly would not
stand up to texturing or rendering. However, it took only a matter of
minutes to create, and was more than sufficient for my purposes.
