I spent an incredible amount of hours working on it. Often, I felt like I will never finish it. Fortunately, I did it, you can watch it, and hopefully, get something valuable out of it. I know it´s not perfect, a lot of things could be done better, but as the quote says: " Better done than perfect" Blender 2.82 + Octane engine.
In this tutorial, I will lead you through the process of creating nature close up renders in Blender.
Fast-paced videos cover the details of all necessary technical aspects, including creating materials, lighting, rendering, and a bit of post-processing.
However, this tutorial aims to teach you more than just a step by step process. My goal is to reveal to you also my reasoning behind this project, so you can understand why I made certain decisions. I believe that after watching it, you will be able to use acquired knowledge for your next projects.

Being Honest?
I really am interested in the way you showed the “Camera’s Lens” in the shot.
Everything else I understand [But cant do ]
But how did you make it look like it was shot through a lens? I mean the light falling on the lens
Now I’m curious: "why would you suspend a Mason jar in a tree like that?"
I know that jars are used to make various kinds of bug traps – like the ones we use at our house to catch carpenter bees every spring – but what was this for?
Camera Lens is actually meant to be the view from another jar - it was made by placing the camera into a glass jar and using DOF - At the beginning in the first seconds of the tutorial, there is a short animation I made where the camera is swinging back and forth as it was placed in a jar on strings.
This is pure gold. Thank you so much for teaching us novices.
