Cloudy Summer Day

Cloudy summer day.
While walking through my neighborhood, I kept noticing wildly overgrown gardens, which eventually inspired me to create this image.
I’ve also wanted to learn about geometry nodes for a long time, so I took the opportunity to look into it.
During the process I learned a lot about plant and leaf shaders. By using different lighting scenarios and perspectives, I was able to bring them close to what I had in mind.

Most of the basic assets are from the megascans library. The shaders are mostly done by me. Some smaller assets had to be handcrafted by myself.
