My name is Nguyen Hai Dang, I'm an architect and CG artist from Vietnam.

After my post "Winter In My Mind" on Evermotion forum I received a kind proposal from Evermotion to prepare a tutorial about making of this scene and share the knowledge with our community. I'm very honored to do that. I would like to give best thanks to Evermotion for offering me a chance for doing this. I want also to thank members of Evermotion community for the great comments about my work. Thanks all again!

LIGHTING

The scene lighting setup is very simple, I used a Hdr map in the set of Peter Guthrie (1928 Dusk Sun) plugged in to a vraydome light for environment light and combined with vraysun.
