We've reached the end of our sprints, and from here on out we're polishing and fixing up stuff. For this sprint I did a good amount to make up for some stuff I was behind on, and completed a couple other extra things. For this sprint I handled foliage almost exclusively- in the screenshots below you can see all the plant life that was added to fill up the play space. I positioned it so that it was more recognizable and closer to the movie, and then I messed around with the materials to get a good color going. Once that was done, I was getting some extra shadow information I didn't want, so I decided to "paint" with lighting- a couple very low intensity lights set in a channel analogous to the bushes kept them illuminated and looking healthy while the rest of the scene went untouched by those lights.
Since I was already messing with lighting, I decided to tweak the values and positions of a couple of our lights to bring out the color saturation of the scene a bit more. I also adjusted the skybox so the light coming from it made the sky resemble the last vestiges of a sunset, and tuned down the moonlight to get rid of overly shiny/washed out surfaces. I also turned up the firelight so that it was warmer and reached farther, making the scene feel a bit cozier and more intimate.
The last changes I had to do were to add flowers and cattails, the last of the vegetation I needed to get through. I gave them a wind node and played around with some colors, but made them small and placed them sparsely to avoid overpopulating the scene. I have a mind to make some color variants for the flowers, but that can come later.
