The concept of my project is a journey that takes the character from the real world into the Other World of Silent Hill mythology. The adventure begins in an abandoned small town (Scene 1) where the character awakens to find symbolic artifacts scattered throughout the scene. As the character moves forward, they enter a swamp (Scene 2), where humanoid creatures begin to chase them. The landscape becomes increasingly eerie, with a sense of foreboding in the cold, dark atmosphere. Ultimately, the character arrives at the final destination (Scene 3), the Other World, a desolate, rusted environment filled with dusty, decrepit buildings. This scene must convey an ominous, unsettling ambiance of fear and despair. | |||

I began by utilizing the Terrain Toolbox Asset to create up a large terrain for three scenes (Free). This phase was challenging for me since I initially believed that I needed to make three distinct terrains and arrange them next to one another.
