Eywa's Bioluminescence

As a longtime fan of the "Avatar" films, I sought to capture the unique natural beauty of Pandora. Perhaps the most extraordinary feature is Pandora's bioluminescence. 

My build, centered around the Tree of Souls, was designed to emulate Pandora's nighttime glow. I utilized strategically placed transparent pieces in both the base and the rock formation to allow light from below and behind the model to shine through.

Soaring above the model's glowing centerpiece is a microscale Great Leonopteryx - crafted with only nineteen pieces. Higher still are the striking stone arches and the iconic floating mountains in the distance.
