A japanese temple, forgotten, in a maple forest.
This scene was built while I was following this course: https://www.artstation.com/marketplace/p/gMYKP/japanese-environment-in-depth-tutorial-course
While doing this scene, I furthered my Designer skills by creating materials with presets and attributes which can be edited in Painter. It was also my first foray in the realm of custom foliage using Speedtree
By far, the greatest challenge of this was to get the lighting sitting as I wanted to capture the serene-yet-mysterious mood I wanted to convey.
