With my scene created, I started looking into ways to add animated elements to my scene. One of the major examples of this I wanted to do was a simple floating animation for some of the islands to add to the aesthetic of the scene. While this was one of the simpler animations to do, it added a lot to the scene in my opinion.
Next up was the part I was excited for: animating a seal playing a saxophone. After some searching, I was able to find a decent rigged model of a seal that fit the style of my project, and a saxophone for him to play. After some tweaking, and creating the animation, I had it.
I added a few other animated elements where I could, including some from Mixamo, and some more custom ones made for models I created like an airship that flies around.
