Introduction
The idea for this image came to me when I saw
Walli's dry grasses in the Cornucapia3D store. When I saw them, I was already working on a series of mineral landscapes and so my image "Chaos" was organized (atmosphere, color of rocks...) starting from the grasses, which are in foreground.
The steps are as follows:
- The terrain
- Atmosphere
- The materials
- Placement of the main objects (dry grass, tree)
- The Ecosystem painting and Ecosystem
- Render settings
Here are three images that I've created with these techniques and this same atmosphere (Fig.01 – Fig.03)

Step 1: The Terrain
To start, I have disabled the following options in the camera parameters so that the camera remains fixed and doesn't move with the terrain or objects (Fig.04):
- Lock height above ground
- Always keep level
