Our ancient Ambi bridges and structures are inspired by ancient Roman arches.
I was lucky to go see many of these arches in person this month. The sheer amount of arches throughout Italy was impressive. Arches appear to be a central motif in old Italian design.

Today I’m showing off my AutoFoliage tool. With one click, terrain fills with foliage!
By leveraging splines, instanced meshes, and a bit of trig and geometry, it generates natural, varied greenery to highlight terrain boundaries and add visual contrast.
