This April we’ve seen a lot of action and dedication as much of the world works from home. Turns out, y’all can get a lot done in your pajamas! Here are five spectacular projects from April 2020 we thought were worth looking back at!
Ale Barbosa – Anhanga
From the moss on the river rocks to the dense vines hanging from trees, this flowing composition is a treat to take in. Creating hanging vines on your SpeedTree was recently covered in a tutorial by Adrian Lambert, another artist appearing in this month’s top 5.
David Abadia – Down the Stairs
David Abadia’s landscape offers a satisfying blend of stylistic shapes with realistic detail. The unique structure or the bonsai trees were likely created using SpeedTree’s hand-drawing feature.
Anton Gonzalez – Mortal Shell Environments
The forest in these Mortal Shell Environments is almost fairy-tale-like in how massive and foreboding the trees within appear. The branches and knots of roots were likely produced through the use of forces, first a magnet or directional force for the reaching branches and a mesh force attracting the roots.
Adrien Lambert – Unexpected Path
“Unexpected Path” stood out to us with its splendid flowing composition. The complimentary green and red make the jungle SpeedTree pop against the backdrop of fog. That classic canopy silhouette is achieved in SpeedTree through the planar force.
Constantine Chesire – Experiments II
Our last piece is a twisted gnarl of vines and floating islands. Experimental and heavily leaning on SpeedTree’s collections and force mesh features, Constantine layered in a rich tangle of roots highlighted by an afternoon glow. It’s a departure from the artist’s usual work and we can’t see where they take them!
Build your next project with assets inspired by April’s Top 5!
Coastal Live Oak
(Cinema)
Our Coastal Live Oak would thrive in Anhanga’s creek-side scene, its moss resembling the vine laden trees within the jungle.
Rocky Mountain Juniper
(Cinema | Games)
The complex, sculptural structure of the bonsai in “Down the Stairs” reminds us of the similarly twisted trunk of our Rocky Mountain Juniper.
