Tropical Jungle Environment

Stylized jungle scene exploring atmosphere and lighting for an upcoming animated short titled *El Patio*.

This project focuses on building a dense tropical environment that feels alive through layered lighting, volumetric fog, and controlled color contrast.

The goal was to guide the viewer’s eye using light shafts, depth cues, and compositional framing while maintaining a sense of natural chaos in the vegetation.

Procedural techniques were used to scatter foliage and control variation, allowing for rapid iteration on mood and density without sacrificing artistic control.
