In case you didn't know, before becoming the brilliant Digital Character Sculptor we know him as today, 3D Artist Sherif Dawoud primarily specialized in environment art, and to start the new year on a fresh note, the artist recently revisited his earlier passion, showcasing a series of cozy 3D dioramas created as part of his environment studies.
Made entirely in Substance 3D Designer, the dioramas depict breathtaking slices of mountainous environments that feel like they were cut from a larger scene. Additionally, the creator used Marmoset Toolbag 5, the latest version of the software introduced last October, to handle the rendering tasks. Attached below are some of the renders and WIP breakdowns shared by Sherif, you can check out more by visiting the artist's Twitter and ArtStation pages:
