Before the World Woke Up
This 3D environment created in Blender captures the quiet beauty of a hidden mountain lake surrounded by dense forests and low-hanging clouds. The scene aims to portray a moment of untouched stillness before the world awakens, when nature exists in complete harmony and silence.
The project focuses on realism through detailed vegetation scattering, natural lighting, and atmospheric fog simulation. Every tree, rock, and wave was designed to contribute to the sense of depth and tranquility. The lighting emphasizes early morning tones, creating a soft, dreamlike glow across the water and forest canopy.
"Before the World Woke Up" is a study in mood and environmental storytelling. It explores the balance between realism and serenity, inviting viewers to pause and feel the calm that exists just before the first rays of sunlight break through the mist.

Before the World Woke Up was calm and satisfying to build. I focused on soft morning light, fog, and natural tree scatter so the lake feels real and quiet. I’m happy with the mood and depth, and next time I would refine terrain materials and add tiny wildlife.
