If you go down to the woods today
3D Render by AndyMacA young woman enters the wood with an offering of flowers to the ancient goddess who has ruled from her wooden throne for centuries. Unfortunately the woods are displeased, and like others who have come before her, she will stay here to feed the trees.
I've really enjoyed doing this as it's been a way of getting back into blender after a long time of false starts and delays. It's been good to try and remember all the stuff I'd learnt and forgotten over time and revisit tutorials and tips and experiment. The main woman was my first attempt to create a character in Daz and then pose and dress her. I had to amend the pose a bit in blender and also sort out the textures. The other characters were taken from mixamo and amended poses in blender as well. For all scattered plants and trees I used the free gscatter add on and some of its assets and others from poly haven. Anything else I created or used a free model as a base and amended to how I needed.
Then lots of lighting and colour tweaks and a mist pass. All within blender, no overpainting etc.

You mean by "texture stretch" the way the tree bark looks like a ghost's face? That's cool regardless.

Fri, Sep 26WOW I hadn't even noticed that! It's all I can see now, great spotting. I'd meant the sections where the path drops down but I've done alot of work to it now so it's less obvious and hidden by scattered plants etc. Good luck if you take part as well.
Been learning how to create the woman I want in Daz. Never used it before and pleasantly surprised. Also there are great learning resources in the site and around youtube so managed to make her and happy with the result.

I've changed the lighting and camera angle to give more drama. Added lots more detail of skeletons and skulls and the skulls around the throne. More to do with how the girl gets attacked and blood etc.
