Forest/Nature Renders

A couple of renders from a forest I was working on a while back. The forest consists of native Irish species such as Hawthorn, Hard Fern, Silver Birch & of course, lots of moss. These are some rough sketches I made as I was researching ancient Irish forests for another scene.

This scene isn't too complex, mostly relying on multi-scatter. Since I don't have the best GPU I focus on optimisation a lot. Which is difficult when trying to reach realism in complex scenes. That's where multi-scatter and cloning helps.

All scenes 100% 3D. No Photoshop. Grading in Davinci Resolve. Full ACES workflow.
