Magical Tree Spring

Hey everyone!! This piece was the very final project I completed in my undergrad. I decided to go BIG with this project, utilizing all the tools I learned during my time at Full Sail and making something that demonstrates the skills I've acquired here. I first broke apart the concept art to really get a feel of its various pieces so that I could create a more modular scene with quite a bit of repeating meshes and materials. Most of my time was spent, however, sculpting the high-res pieces and hand-painting the foliage. As much as I enjoy Substance Designer, I wanted to try sculpting my own textures in Zbrush to create more unique designs such as the tree swirls.
