Windswept Tree

The tree awaits its visitor.
.
Focused on shape language, texture, lighting, and atmosphere in this one.
Sculpted the base of the tree, primary roots, primary branches, and rocks in Zbrush.
Created the smaller branches and roots in Houdini using placed sphere primitives to drive the starting location and end location of the branches to maintain the ability to art direct the location of the branches.
Used a mix of masks and Megascans for the materials.
Background fog is from EasyFog by William Faucher.
