For my next personal project I wanted to do something with a lot of foliage as an excuse to practice and improve, also to do something different from my usual urban hard surface environments. It all started from a picture of Hibiya park in Tokyo that I had as a reference for my last project , I liked it so much that I'm using it as main reference for this one.
I started by making a list and collecting references of all the main trees and shrub species in the photograph and around the park, modeling individual leaves and branches and baking the hp on top of a plane to make 3 foliage atlases in substance painter.
