Have a look at this stunning 3D render of a withered tree vine showcased by 3D Artist XiaoMing (小明).

The artist worked on the texturing of tree vines on a highly realistic dried-up tree trunk, featuring twisted branches and lifelike greenery such as moss and grass, based on an artwork by Concept Artist Zhu Weiwei.

The setup was created using ZBrush, Maya, Substance 3D Painter, SpeedTree, Unreal Engine, and Photoshop.
