This was really about using Gaea to make some terrain but then I decided to knock out the rest... Because why not? It was really fun using a sun lamp and a gobo texture to get the shadows and godrays. I could have spent hours alone rotating the sun lamp, aligning things until I was happy. The rocks and plants were from Quixel and the HDRI was from Poly Haven. This was a really fun render to do and I'm super excited to be featured here on BlenderNation!
