Wilderness Study (Maya / Arnold)

Had a go at creating a forest scene in Maya to try out some instancing with MASH... So many trees! But thankfully the instances don't take too long to render! I used some Megascans for some of the trees in the foreground and created the instanced ones with leaves myself. Gave the character a red shirt to contrast all the greens, and tried to find a nice angle for the light... thanks for looking!
