I wows inspired by where I grew up, which is in California and thought of creating a landscape that displays palm trees, the beach, and ocean within a night scene. It was very challenging for me to properly randomize some of the objects at first, that made the whole scene flow when it was running. However, I did enjoy putting thought and colors into creating a new environment that allowed me to express something personal.
