I felt inspired to begin an environment lighting project after restarting playing Alan Wake II but was unable to find a suitable forest environment that fit what I was looking for. Therefore this turned into a slightly larger task than imagined as I needed to create that too, I am however pleased with the final result and how I overcame issues like these whilst working. I wanted to create something that whilst not a direct copy from the game, its inclusion would be plausible alongside other sections.
