The fifth in my Taiga series. I like how the changing light brings out different details in the mountain. Next up…dusk.

I’m going to try another dynamic style wallpaper sequence, but this time something a little more earthlike. The “taiga” is a type of boreal forest which also happens to be the world’s largest biome. Since this is a far northern environment I am going to keep the sun angle very low and the day short. Maybe two or three more 🙂

Taiga

Multi-Screen Render

It’s hard for me to play around in Gaea without wanting to take the mesh into VUE for a full landscape render. For this scene I used VUE’s “spherical landscape” model to (hopefully) more accurately model predawn sunlight on a mountain top. I used some tricks to fake it in “Oasia (Dawn)” 🙂

This might be another good candidate for the dynamic wallpaper treatment, but I will admit that I haven’t seen what it looks like during the day yet.

Ready for 2020 to be over??
