About the video: Adding Natural Elements and Details 1
Overview
“Let's add various natural elements that will really take the scene to another level of photorealism! In this lesson, I will explore using images as textures (including ones I have photographed myself). I will specifically show how I photographed a coastline and used those images to create a crashing wave texture to use in my renders. Next, I will focus on realistically scattering plants to make my scene more believable. ”
