Hey @jammingammon , so pleased you like the challenges and decided to take part. It is a great way to practice what you learn from the courses.
A campfire scene is a good idea, I can’t wait to see your progress and result.
Your grass looks great, maybe you could weight paint the density, to leave a bare patch where the campfire is. You will need to add a ground material though. You could use a lot less hair to help keep your computer running smoothly, if you find it an issue later as the scene grows.
I can already taste the marshmallows 😋
