Wonder Forest is a scenic program, which simulates a small forest with interactive lighting. Based on Disney’s Tangled, this project is laid out with a random assortment of trees and a lake in the middle. There are also random campfire-like objects in this program. The main goal is to light up all the lanterns and create a more ethereal feeling, much like the movie.
The main inspiration of the program is to combine Animal Crossing: New Horizon and Disney’s Tangled, to create a cute, comfortable scene. Here, lanterns are supposed to fly up and have various models to make it look as smooth as possible. For the sake of my computer’s rendering time and my personal sanity, this program has been reduced, but given better technology, more can be implemented.
