This project I wanted to focus on learning SpeedTree so I could make better outdoor environments. From trees, to ground cover, to dead potted plants, SpeedTree really is a super versatile program. I also wanted to push myself to use more Substance Designer and trim sheets for this environment, and I'm pretty happy with the results. The final challenge was lighting a nighttime scene properly and getting the ambiance to look good.
