Could you speak generally on what techniques you used? Like is this all mesh geometry, textures, lights ans fog? Cause it looks awesome
Sure!
All the foreground stuff was modelled first, then sculpted with rock textures / general wear (posts, steps, cliffside, etc). The giant spires were sculpted from a cube. Textures are mostly procedural, a few texture maps but I prefer doing things procedurally as I don't have to worry about UVs and seams. The vegetation, moss, ivy, trees, etc were scattered using a few add-ons (Baga Ivy, Geo-Scatter). The landscape was made with noise textures and masking in TT5 add-on, then sculpted slightly afterwards to get the exact shape I wanted. I used the same add-on to texture the landscape with masks. The clouds and fog are all volumetric using noise textures, and the human is built from the HumGen add-on which I made to resemble me (it's a good way to watermark my art - hard to remove digitally, distinctively me and less intrusive than a big logo or something).
Hope that makes sense. Happy to answer any other questions if you have them ๐
This is awesome... many thanks from me
