Floating Island is a project that I’m still working on for a friend.
The Idea of floating islands isn’t new. That’s why it is not so easy to create something special and different.
The modeling part was easy. Everything is done with MAXON Cinema 4D.
The most challenging part is to put the island in a scene in a special way. Choosing the right angle, lighting, or positioning the clouds is very time consuming.
These are some stages of my work. Please share your thoughts. I would appreciate any comments about this.
Pure rocks:
Rocks with more details like grass, roots and different light settings:
First test with a monster big tree ;-)
The tree object is free preset included in Cinema 4D for free use.
