Thrive in Silence

Last scene I have been making during my time off on my laptop.

It was a nice opportunity to put some things I learnt past years into something more personal. Sometimes growth is hidden, patiently doing its work in silence, waiting to shine in the light. I guess that is what this picture is all about ?

Technically wanted to make everything procedural from the columns to the placement of trees, ivy and leaves scattered around the scene. I may use this setup to explore more illustrations and mood later since I have the flexibility to change any parameters/features may as well have some more fun !

Big thanks to Redshift (runs so fast on my laptop...even volumetrics OMG !), SideFX and Speedtree for their support. Love these guys, will definitely develop more content around them very soon ! stay tuned for some tutorials and free tips. ;)

Floor and vegetation lookdev, displacement is revealing more or less water. Geometries bellow water got some of its diffuse absorbed by water.  + procedural scattering test of leaves around the tree. and ivy growth created with Houdini plugin IvyTaming.
