A misty August dawn

Hello everyone I present to you my creative work on the theme “Foggy August dawn in the countryside”.

Soft: Blender 5.2 | Cycles render | Photoshop
Year: 2026

I have long wanted to do a creative work dedicated to an early summer morning in the countryside. Now, in August, the sunrises are especially beautiful, and watching them every day, I was inspired to create this work. By the way, some of the work was done by reference — this is a common frame with cows. I took the landscape and the location of the objects in the frame from the reference, and I did the lighting and the remaining frames myself.

So, I sketched the landscape, arranged the objects, set up the scatters, set the lights, added fog, and performed color correction in the composer. To give the visualizations a rural flavor, I added cow models, because cows are found in almost all villages. At least in the village where I grew up, they were definitely there. I also really wanted to add a tractor model, my father has a tractor, and we very often drove it to the forest, to the field, to the river and for various construction materials. I have very fond memories of this tractor, so I tried to find the most similar model. The differences from the model in the render are small — our tractor does not have windows in the cabin, and it is completely red, but otherwise they are very similar.

In general, despite these minor discrepancies, I wanted to put a piece of those warmest childhood memories into these shots. I hope you enjoy the atmosphere and mood that I have tried to express in my work.

Technical points: I used Nishita Sky for stage lighting, the Alt tab easy fog addon for fog in the scene, Geo-scatter and Gscatter for environment, and AGX for tone mapper. Post-processing in composer and a bit in photoshop. The work was performed without the use of AI.

Great atmosphere! Really well done. I drove a tractor almost exactly like that for many years. Brings back memories.

Oh man this takes me back to my teens, looks almost exactly like the area around a stretch of dirt road I traveled many early summer mornings on my moped with my friends after a night in the next town over

Good times

Thanks! It’s cool that you drove a tractor, my father tried to teach me a couple of times, put me behind the wheel, but I didn’t do a very good job, all I could do was depress the gas pedal and turn the steering wheel. Switching speeds seemed impossible to me))))

Thanks! I’m glad you like it, you also have very cool work in the blender!
