Einar Martinsen is a VFX Art Director with a distinct and unmistakable style to his art - whether digital shots or plein air oil paintings.

He has worked on many major motion pictures and TV shows, with credits to his name such as Avengers: End Game, Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power, among others.

The Foundry invited Einar to create the splash screens for their new Nuke family of products. As a nod to Nuke itself, he chose to embody the spirit of this software in this magnificent "Node Tree".

As this epic vista deals with expansive environments, he chose Gaea to create the terrains for this world.

"Using Gaea for this project was great as it served as a really strong foundation to build out the fantasy world. The erosion and flexibility Gaea offers is both fun and yield amazing results!

Gaea is intuitive and I only scratched the surface of it so far! I'm looking forward to dive deeper with it and use it for VFX and concept art alike!"
