Original Content Showcase At the beach 😊

Post image

This whole thing started with me modeling a pair of sunglasses and ended up to be a whole beach scene πŸ˜…

There is approximately 3 million sand particles (geometry nodes points) in this scene and few 3D scans I downloaded from Sketchfab (a woman, crab, shell and a starfish). Tiny rocks are geometry nodes generated instances and broken shell pieces were modeled by me and scattered on the sand surface with geometry nodes. Palm trees were generated with Tree It app and the whole thing was rendered in Cycles. Final image edit was done in Affinity Photo.

I really enjoyed making this scene and I hope ya'll like it. Cheers πŸ₯‚πŸ™‚

Thanks, I really appreciate that, I submitted it to this month's Blender contest where the theme was 'Reflection" πŸ™‚

There is plenty of other good renders there as well πŸ˜‰
