Hello everyone, this is another breakdown post of my 3d renders. This is the artwork called "The Fireflies" .
At first, I created a plane and sculpted it to make it look like a terrain and added a camera and positioned it to make a composition. Then i added the tree trunk asset from the Quixel Megascan. I modeled the glass jar and applied the glass shader and added some imperfections on the surface. Using MASH, i scattered the small twigs and grass on the terrain. Then i quickly added the spheres inside the jar and applied the incandescent shader to make it look like fireflies. After that i added some spheres using MASH to make it look like some particles floating on the scene. I added some lights and depth of field to the camera. I started to test render the scene and play around with the settings until i was happy with the result. Then i rendered out the image with some AOVs and composited them together in photoshop.
This is the final image.
Thanks for viewing my post. I hope, i was able to walk you through the process briefly.
