step 1 of 8

The rocks where made with asteroid belt-script. Bring them only into one x/y-layer, but keep the accidental order. Chose a few of the nicest and delete the others.Then scale and rotate the rest after your fancy.

step 2 of 8

Add a huge plane to your rock field, subdivide it several times and give it a built in cloud texture. In edit mode press â€œNOISEâ€ button until you feel your landscape is nicely shaped. Arrange Rocks in your landscape on z-axis.

step 3 of 8

Add another even huger plane and make it your ocean. Check on your landscape and make a well shaped shore.

step 4 of 8

Build a simple little house. Itâ€™s only a cube with an extruded roof, some holes for doors and windows and then door and window shutters.

step 5 of 8

Add some cubes and form planks of different shapes. Build a jetty.

step 6 of 8

Add a sphere and cut it in half. Use the upper half and scale it up (maybe not too much in z-axis) to be your heaven. You could also use an open cylinder, but if you ever feel like taking pics of anything in the sky above the cam you might get problems.

step 7 of 8

Add a cam and use around 20 mm to make the scene look tiny. You need to almost drown the cam in your ocean. Also make sure to use dof and distortion (compositor) to make the effect stronger.

step 8 of 8

Texture all your objects and check on different shading types, base colours, lightings and everything. The sky will be the most time consuming. Try different alignments by rotating the sky sphere to get the best effect.
