Ghibli Forest

Coral, bio-iluminated from the inside, triggered by an unknown stimulus.

Full version with music can be found on instagram.
A clumped composition inspired by Studio Ghibli's imaginative blend of hard fantasy and familiar natural elements.
There is a strong association between coral and bio-luminescence, this piece breaks that concept by focussing the light to internal wiring.
Alternate material that took about 2 hours to render
