Diorama

After numerous trials and iterations, the polished final product has emerged. Spanning three weeks of dedication, I poured my heart into this project for university, then invested an additional week refining its features to perfection. The animation may not be fully functional at this stage, but its core elements are in place - the flickering flame from the candle and the flowing water. Unfortunately, I'm still stumped on how to activate it seamlessly. In contrast, the initial prototype suffered from crippling issues: frequent crashes and an inability to load due to excessive materials and a staggering number of faces. To overcome this hurdle, I significantly reduced the model's face count and vertex density, allowing it to load without incident. However, this optimized version still falls short in one critical area - its inability to be rendered in high definition (HD) due to another set of problems: an overwhelming number of textures or a texture resolution that's too ambitious.
