Star Citizen - Temperate Ferns Plants

Hello!

The Temperate Ferns were my onboarding task when I joined CIG back in 2022. It was also my first time using SpeedTree, and I’m grateful to the team for allowing me to learn as I went. Looking back, I remember being too nervous to even doing anything 😄

These assets can be found in MicroTech, one of the planets in Star Citizen, particularly in the greener regions (forests and grasslands). MicroTech is a frozen planet undergoing terraforming to become habitable, which allows for lush vegetation and breathable environments.

I was given a lot of creative freedom with this fern, and I wanted to add something unique, so I introduced plant buds and residue details to help break up the typical silhouette.

Big thanks to the CIG Organic team for their feedback and support, especially Daniel Peres for his mentorship and guidance on improving vegetation workflows.
