Finalizing the Landscape Scene – Lighting, Rendering, and Compositing

Now that you’ve created your landscape scene, you’ll probably want to try rendering it. In this chapter, you’ll learn how to aim your camera, render a scene, and apply some compositing tricks.

First, we will make some adjustments to the landscape shape, including improving the water material to make it better fit our landscape theme, and then set up some realistic lighting using an HDRI map and jump into rendering and compositing.

In this chapter, we’ll be covering the following topics:

  • Adjusting the landscape shape

  • Setting realistic lighting in our scene
  • Rendering our scene
  • Compositing the scene
