*My next step was to add the gras, flowers and weeds to my terrain. For the parts of the dead forest and the clearing I used a shorter and lighter colored gras type, to make it look like the gras is drying up. | *My next step was to add the gras, flowers and weeds to my terrain.

*Of course, as a next step I added all of the trees but not only conifers. I also sprinkled in some broadleaf trees, bushes and tree stumps. In the middle of the map, I didn’t place any trees to create a clearing. | *Of course, as a next step I added all of the trees but not only conifers.

*When I was happy with how my forest looked, I made some finer detail, like the particles. For the healthy part of the forest the particles give a dreamy feel, like dust particles that seem so glow when the sun shines on them in the right angel. For the dead part, the particles are made to look like ash falling to the ground. | *When I was happy with how my forest looked, I made some finer detail, like the particles.

*I made some tree logs by giving two cylinder models the texture of bark and the cross section of a tree. The cylinder with the bark texture is a bit bigger than the cylinder with the actual wood texture but this cylinder is a bit longer. So, when I moved the cylinders into each other they look like a real log. I played many of these logs on top of each other to create a big and a small pile of them. Piles of freshly cut trees you would often see when walking through a forest. To two of the logs I attached an audio player. When you walk beside the piles you can hear insects crawling around, to make it seem like they are infested with bark-beetles. | *I made some tree logs by giving two cylinder models the texture of bark and the cross section of a tree.

*After being finish with the forest map I created the room the player would start in. Out of cubes I formed the basic shape of the bedroom walls, floor and ceiling. I added prefabs for a bed, shelves, a couch, a desk, a bin, a speaker and a computer. The potted and the window I formed out of cubes and cylinders. Into the window and onto the computer screen I added video screens. What you can see through the window and how plane the room looks is a sharp contrast to the forest you spend most of your time in, when experiencing the project. The video that plays on the computers screen and the dead plant on the shelf are supposed to give the player a hint of what he will see when they step outside of the room | *After being finish with the forest map I created the room the player would start in.

Behind the door and in the forest I placed two teleporters, so that the player can walk through it and get teleported to the other side of the portal. I added some faint sounds of birds chirping to the teleporter in the bedroomand when you walk trough the portal you trigger a short swooshing sound. | |||
