Cypress Swamp
Inspired by a visit to the
Congaree National Forest

After visiting Congaree National Park, an old growth forest filled with some of tallest Cypress, Loblolly Pine, and Oak trees in the world I immediately wanted to base one of projects off the environment. Having started to dive more into Unreal Engine I wanted to try and capture the surroundings and emotions of the environment in a scene.
