This project was created over an 8 week period. 

The environment is based off this awesome concept by Grady Frederick - https://www.artstation.com/artwork/1nLrlG 

The aspect of this environment that encouraged me to make it was the atmosphere that it gives off. It also gave me inspiration to use Houdini for terrain generation and use Speed tree for some of the foliage.

The hardest part about this environment was the lighting. it was extremely difficult to light the environment since the main light source in the environment is the sky, and creating an interesting environment with low contrast lighting was a really big challenge.
