FUTURISTIC WORLD

This was a fun concept that I saw through from start to finish. The scene shows a post-apocalyptic world, with just one living plant remaining - the tree you see here.
I really enjoyed every stage of the process, from developing the idea and building the base models, right through to the final render.
Originally, I planned to create a semi-realistic city with detailed textures and a cartoony outline style. But when I brought the textures from Substance Painter into Maya, it didn’t quite land the way I’d imagined. That pushed me to pivot and go fully stylised with a toon shader instead, and in the end I think it worked out even better.
