Hello guys! 😁 After a bit of a break, I’m back to share my latest project with you, result of the seventh chapter of the CG Boost “Master 3D environments in Blender” course, this time a special night scene with northern lights! Upon seeing the result, I wished to bring it alive and also include a short animation to go with it! Final results below, hope you enjoy! Short animation: [![](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/d/e/2/de2ac14a26f03f8cd64e0421021a2b7b26cfe840.jpeg "Guided by the Northern Lights") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xK2caIdSvU) 16:9 aspect ratio: ![Aurora Forest Final 16x9](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/2/6/5/2658c60b1051747122854b88d26fcf2cba9fdf42.png) Full size: ![Aurora Forest Final](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/2/2/c/22c5a4cb7ad1160b2c9b2081d35d215e3595857d.png) Clay render: ![Aurora Forest Clay](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/3/9/4/394746c18296d363444d8e8648ca742504cb596b.png) Thanks for stopping by, looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Looks incredible! The way you’ve captured the atmosphere with the night sky and auroras is amazing, and the animation really brings it all together. Impressive work! ---

The auroras look very nice. And the rest of the scene (and the music) matches it very well. Yes, richly deserving to be #featured. ---
