A small preview of our workflows
This Majestic ancient yew tree grows from the ruins of Waverley Abbey, the first Cistercian abbey in England. The yew was crowned Woodland Trust UK tree of the year 2022 and will represent the UK in the European tree of the year competition.

The gnarled roots are intertwined with a small remaining section of the southeast section of the chapel of the main church. The Abbey was suppressed as a result of Henry VIII’s dissolution of the monasteries in 1536 and assuming it began growing shortly thereafter, this would make the tree almost 500 years old.

Everything in this scene is created by me (everything foliage related and Unreal Engine), photogrammetry and Reality Capture processing were done by our CEO Jake Nixon, model postprocessing by Jurand Macioszczyk.
