CHINESE TEA
This is the 2nd deep dive into Blender. And boy oh boy did I learn a lot. Its so thrilling to expand in a new 3D package. You can use a lot of your preexisting knowledge but there also are so much new things in there that you constantly have to develop your thinking about how stuff is working.
Choosing a topic for my new artwork I thought of something I would enjoy right now. It turns out in those troubled times I wand something relaxing and calming. Something for your soul. So I decided the topic to be a Chinese tea ceremony.
As always I hope you like my work. Thank you for your time.

I used Animation nodes to position the leaves in that cube and simulated them from there.
Later I used another animation nodes setup to replace the simulated leaves with instances.
