Can you make this? Ofcourse! There's a lot that goes into it. But just like my tutorials on other platforms, some core practices remain the same. 1. Use references for everything. 2. Get obsessed with your toolset. Don't follow tutorials but go and explore. Lose yourself in the experimentation. 3. Don't be easy on yourself (especially in the beginning). When you're doing a personal project there is no deadline, so use that time to perfect. 4. Remember this is a journey. Don't start for quick gains, and be prepared for disappointment.

The Rise and Fall of a mighty castle. A fun personal project with the main goal of learning a bunch of new skills. I learned a lot about #houdini Pyro and RB FX. I got lots of practice in #speedtree and #gaea . And ofcourse upped my game in #blender and #geoscatter

To find out more about the pack and my Landscape Material go to: /l/NordicMP Enjoy 25% off on all my Gumroad products with code: HAPPYHOLIDAYS23 / As you can see I created some of the shots as an homage to Aaron Westwood and Quixel Rebirth. All these shots were created with Nordic Mountain Pack assets and the material. Each shot took around 4 days to 2 weeks. #blender #blender3d #blenderrender #environmentart #CG #cgi #cycles #cyclesrender #3d #3dart #animation #mountains #Gaea #Quixel #SpeedTree
