3.Scene hierarchy

If a scene contains only buildings, it may lack a sense of layering and spatial depth. To enhance the spatial perception of the scene, I incorporated various elements into the composition, such as dead trees, fog, fences, etc. Among these elements, fog sheets were used most frequently. I strategically placed fog sheets of varying shapes in areas such as around buildings, on the ground, and along water edges to enrich the depth and complexity of the scenes.

The fog sheet is a semi-transparent plane generated by blueprint. Then I developed a material for the semi-transparent fog captured by the camera and subsequently integrated it into the blueprint follow by a tutorial. This material features multiple customizable and adjustable channels, including transparency, color, and attenuation depth, enabling its application across various scenarios with distinct requirements.

In the close-up area, I used some plants, tree stumps and fences to construct some “frameworks” of composition forms.
