Done in Blender and Substance Painter. Post processing was done in Photoshop and Gimp.
This image took us quite long to make, about 40h.
I started by drawing some concept art for this scene. After that Colin blocked out the scene and I started modeling the question mark block as well as the coins, bob omb, bones and bone fish. After that we textured the assets in Substance Painter and started adding more details to the scene, such as a lot of plant particle systems. We also refined the water and dirt shaders and spent a long time figuring out the ideal lighting for this scene by trying a lot of different hdrs.
For this project we used assets and textures from Graswald, botaniq as well as Poliigon.com.
I hope you like the scene, we’d be very grateful for feedback in order to improve in the future
If you’re really motivated try to count how many bones I placed in this scene

The image looks great, though have you heard about the real thing similar to this image opening as a theme park in Tokyo (not as realistic, but has all of the classic Mario stuff)?
Interesting to see this image bumped right when the park is nearing completion.
I recently watched a short documentary about that park. It looks really cool indeed. Who knows maybe they’ll decorate it to look neglected for Halloween or so?
