Tree of life

This is part of the New Jerusalem theme I have been thinking about. This one is inspired by the tree of life spoken of in the book of Revelation. This is still a concept so I will keep working on it, but I quite like this composition and camera lens effect. I also experimented with the compositing to try and get a golden appearance and make it look like the life is coming from all around. Also the people glowing white in their white robes of light. It’s quite a challenge to get it to look quite right, or as I imaging it to be anyway. The models are downloaded from Quixel, I was just going to experiment with the panoramic camera in Blender Cycles. Then I just continued on developing the scene, practicing with camera angles, lenses, lighting, volumetrics, glow materials in cycles etc.
