    Incredible work!! Question about the process: Do you create a scene and then hunt for a great angle to shoot it from? Or is it the other way around? Do you build the scene out from a vantage you envision? Thanks!

    I’ve never used Blender before, but sixty hours is a lot of work! Which part of the process was the most laborious/fiddly? (I saw the 40hr mark shot in another comment, which kind of gives me an idea)

      I spent a very long time on the terrain textures, particularly getting the masking just right (for areas where snow has melted, patches of deeper snow, the path having very little, etc). I tried lots of different approaches but didn’t like the effects or they looked weird.

      And then lots of troubleshooting errors like weird speckling effects in the trees when rendering, trying to balance the sky contrast so you can still make out clouds when the sun is so blinding, odd displacement errors on the terrain causing weird shading.

      I’m sure I could probably streamline my workflow a bit. The little tweaks always take ages for me. They probably don’t have to, but I love trying things and often get lost in making changes that probably don’t even matter that much 😂
