On this project, I was tasked with creating a forest set extension for a particular shot.   On set, there were only a couple of plants.  I was responsible for filling out all of the foliage with CG that matched the footage. I also sourced lots of Megascans assets and used speed-tree for the foliage. I did asset upgrading and creation where needed.   I did the layout, set dressing, and lookdev of the foliage and rocks in Houdini.  I set up a procedural foliage painting system with a lot of natural randomness in Holudini.  I also had ways to art direct it on top of the randomness.  I did the rough lighting and slap comp once I got the shot working with all of the assets.
