Northern Lights River

All starter scenes · Original project background

Flowing green aurora above snowy pines and a winding blue river.

Keep the sky open

The aurora is the main feature, so avoid covering it with large objects. Add details along the riverbanks and leave a clear line through the water.

A small exercise

Use the flip control on repeated trees to make a pair feel less identical. Keep their sizes different to suggest depth.

Make it your own

The landscape is a single background image. Open it in the editor to add movable trees, buildings, animals, and other details. Opening this starter does not replace your browser save until you choose Save.
