Lumion Valley

Chosen Valley

The Valley that i have chosen is
The Yosemite Valley Located in California.

It is not from my country of origin. I did not choose a valley from my country of origin. I decided to research on various valleys around the world and this valley happened to have caught my attention so i decided to try and recreate this natural beauty, spectacular and magnificent piece of landmark.

Some info on Yosemite:

- Yosemite (Pronounced: Yoh-sem-i-tee)
- 8 Miles (13km) long and up to a mile deep
- Surrounded by high granite summits such as Half Dome (Granite Dome) and El-Capitan (Vertical Rock Formation), and densely forested with pines
- The Merced River (Pronounced: Mer-sed) runs through the valley; 145 miles (233km) long; its a swift-moving and steep waterway course


Here is a short video clip of the Yosemite Valley:

Final Project

Landform & Monument Progression

This is my Lumion Environment so far. I have been experimenting with shaping and forming the landscape into a more rocky and ragged mountainous terrain with plenty of outcrops and have a winding road that leads up to my monumental space running around it. I made it, so that my monument must be accessible by the public and students. There is also some space within the monument that the public can move around and meet up. My idea was also to have my monument planted on the side of the ragged mountain which can overlook the water. I also took snapshots using Fraps to show viewers the different angles and views of my environment during different hours of the day and sometimes with a perfectly clear sky and sometimes with a more cloudier look.
Since this is my first time using the lumion program, i found it to be pretty easy and simple enough to pick up and learn very quickly. It was very enjoyable creating my own environment and virtual buildings.
