Starting out we really didn't know much about Unity.
This required us to learn a new software in a short period of time. A majority of this terrian was sculpted/created through trial and error and through using resources like Youtube Tutorials.
ADDING IN DETAILS
In order to make sure the environment felt a bit more realistic we had to take a step back and examine some examples from both the real world and digital environments.
This included images of Forests and local parks like Madison Square and Prospect Park.
ADDING IN HARDWARE
Using the HTC Vive allowed us to really set the ton for the immersive feel of our environment.
After multiple days struggling to get it running eventually we were able to have the software and hardware connected and in place.
