Witching Hour

“The solstice was coming, the long night of the year when life ebbs, hope is thin and demons rule the air…
And maybe in the years to come we will think of these days as the last of the good times…”

  • Bernard Cornwell

Hey Guys!!
This is my art for Halloween.
It’s the first time I tried to create something “dark”, I like too much of glowing things and it was a challenge to show my dark side, hehe. Hope you like it! ^;^
For the walls I used the nodes to create the texture, the beams are low poly, it was sculped and baked in blender.
The window lights were texture painted, I increased the emission and used the glare node on compositing.
For the roofs I used a seamless texture and changed the color with the Hue Saturation Value node.
The door does exist, I found the picture on Pinterest but couldn’t discover where is from.
The most part of these assets I already had in my collection from other projects, and some of them I created during the course with Professor Rob Tuytel, he is amazing, it was the first course I took of Environment Art some years ago.
The Pine Trees were created with an alpha texture and the Weird Trees using a combination of modifiers.
The Pumpkins was the funnest part, I really love pumpkins - I think you notice, hehe - I used this tutorial to help me >>> (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpZa0l_aCuA&list=PLuOTF4-4FPBs8pdJEjVKlUJsUSWSXGvHV&index=119&t=1686s).
The Moon was created with an UV Sphere, I used a texture I found on this site (https://www.solarsystemscope.com/textures/), used an emission node and increased the strengh.
I created a Skydome arounnd my scene because I wish the stars were more realistic, and the material were created with geometry nodes.
The lights were simples, I used a HDRI texture because only with the skydome it was too dark.
Everthing was created with Blender 3.3 and the render mode was Cycles.
I hope you enjoy!
