How to make an AMAZING mossy forest river with giant tree: Making a Scene Vol #6

Get access to my new tutorial ebook series! patreon.com/higheyeworkshop.

(The ebook tutorials are now Patreon rewards, along with early access to YouTube videos. Any information given in the video about previous Patreon rewards may be out of date.)

This epic video will show you how to make an amazing forest river with foam, epoxy resin and a few modelling supplies, as well as with a giant oak tree made from wire and putty.

The end result is an incredibly realistic model forest scene.

If you want to know how to achieve stunning results when making a wire tree, look no further. The tree in this video is, I think, about as realistic as it gets. The bark is hyper-real, complete with moss and lichen and cracks.

The rest of the scene consists of a gentle river made using epoxy resin and Mod Podge flowing between mossy rocks and banks. The video shows you in detail how to model water effect, how to model moss and create perfect vegetation.
