Japanese garden, maple and moss — the finished design

Showing the Summer frame of this design

How this design was made

Our own render of a planting bed, shown in three seasons. All three frames are image-to-image passes over a single base composition, so the camera, layout and hardscape hold and only the plants and the light change. None of them is a photograph, and there is no before here — this is a planting study, not a rebuild of someone's yard. Planted from the “Japanese garden” starter set — a researched assortment from our own plant library.
