Made entirely with Blender, including the trees made with the sapling addon, this is my first real attempt at creating a detailed landscape alone, using the techniques from Andrew Price's Nature Academy.
Inspired by a visit to Yosemite Nationl Park years ago. I wanted to recreate some of the grand vistas of 19th century American landscape painting, or at least give it a shot.
The mist is made with three z-depth compositing nodes, one for the close ground fog, one for middle distance trees and the third for atmospheric falloff.
