After choosing your image for the ground and sky, you can start filling your landscape with elements and positioning them in 3D space. Lighting effects and atmospheric haze are built in to the elements, so their brightness and colors are affected by their distance from the camera, and by whatever time of day you set the clock to. Once you have built up your scene, add some finishing touches from the Effects folder, such as 3D titles, fog, wind, heat haze, insects, birds, falling leaves, auroras, and floating pollen. Add subtle camera movements to create parallax and show off your 3D creation.Template Features:Element Library - 1,000 high-resolution images of various landscape elements, ranging from individual flowers to large mountains.

Add the included "Beach" effect to create custom beach scenes.Auto-Sky - The Auto-Sky feature allows you to change the lighting and mood of the scene with a single "Clock" control.
