HW-2

Design

Originally, I was drawn to the idea of having the environment being lost in a forest and having a Marco - Polo type interaction. I found this tutorial that I hope could help me create trees out of simple polygons.

Unfortunately, due to a family emergency, I ended up having to pivot due to time constraints. However, I realized that a point of inspiration from my original idea was still applicable - the starry night sky.

Thus my final interaction is a scene set in a space, where fictional planets exist. It's perhaps not the most functional setting for a social setting, but I wanted to explore creating the immersion .
