Final Render
Inspiration
My goal was to create a fantasy place inspired by the mountains in Zhangjiajie, China and by Kinderdijk in Holland.

I made this procedural tree by expanding on this video by CGI Nerd.
Assets for the island
I made some relatively low poly tulips for a tulip field like you can see in the Netherlands. I also worked on a procedural tree and rock.
I also gave the tree some object level controls making it easier to create different trees without digging through the file.
I made this tree starting with lines extending off other lines and a polywire to give thickness. The trunk is the base; the section for the trunk is in black. Each lighter color box contains smaller set of branches that extends of the previous branch. The green box contains the leaves.
I'm using these procedural rocks as the base for the islands.
