Proximity Vegetation
This is a game concept whipped up using Unity3d and C#.
I figured it might look interesting to see procedurally generated trees spawning in, and growing, as the player moves. The tree variance, growth rate, and spawn locations are randomized. New tree spawns are triggered by the player’s movement. Something I’ve never seen done with foliage in a video game before.
Watch the video.
