Nature Monument: 3D Modeling and Animation

Take a walk through a nature monument to escape the busy city noise for a peaceful moment that brings you back to nature.

For my nature monument, I drew inspiration from the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest in Japan, a Japanese onsen, and the Zhangjiajie National Forest in China. I combined these elements from these nature environments and created a monument that represents a nature oasis in the middle of a bustling city.

Process:

Z Brush - creating the mountain rocks and small rocks

Maya - creating the bamboo, pond, city environment, and animation

Substance Painter - bamboo texture
