[$250 Bounty] Build this scene in Unity

An article by mgear

Lets try something new, I’ll offer 250usd bounty to whoever makes the best 3D scene based on this image above, using Unity.
*Scene should be 3D, you can use mesh instead of terrain, no FPS limit (so it can be heavy scene with lots of objects & effects)

Rules:

** DEADLINE IS NOW SET: December 11th 2016

– Scene should be real 3D scene (not using the original photo in the scene or 2D trees cut from images :p )
– There is no deadline, but winner will be selected when suitable scene is founded (but certain time period would be given for others to try beat the currently best scene, a week or 2)
– Payment with Paypal only (you must have paypal account or other means to receive paypal paid gifts)
– If no winning scenes are submitted, best available scene can be rewarded with lower bounty (for example $50 or $100)
– I’ll post comments about the scenes, so you will know if your submission qualifies or not yet
– Rules can change if there is need to add some more information / limitations

How to submit your scene:

– First: Just post image link to the comments section (you can post video links also)
– If image is good enough, I’ll ask for video clip and images from unity editor showing the scene
– Or if you want to submit it privately for inspection, email screenshot or link to me (or pm in forums)

Why:

– I want to see if Unity can be used to make high quality forest scene 🙂 because i’m trying to make one myself, but its still far off..

FAQ:

– (Q) Can I improve my scene after submitting first image? (A) Yes you can and you should improve it based on comments too. Feel free to post WIP images also.
– (Q) Can I submit multiple (different scenes/styles)? (A) Yes
– (more to be added – if there are any questions)

Tips:

– Using Substance materials would probably work well
– Using Speedtree trees most likely gives best results (although unity speedtree shader might need modifications)
