  Wonderful. Maybe work on creating your own rules and purpose for each choice and placement of foliage object, whether adhering to current trends or not. Use thought and reasons for each decision. For example, I wrote several personal rules some time ago, such as groups of trees with darker trees centralized and surrounded by lighter trees reducing in size and spreading outward from the darker, becoming more sparse as they spread out. I'm unsure if that works in the game, but this is my food for thought. Deciding rules and purpose and remaining consistent with those throughout the map as a sort of art style. Keep up the excellent work, and enjoy yourself.

  So so cool to see a french park that isn't Parc Astérix!!!! I've never been to nigloland but I have a lot of admiration for the Gelis family. I hope you finish the project, very curious to see the result!

  @Timothy Cross
  I've been really bad at foliage for years, it undermined my parks way too much. I've been watching tutorials made by other players and it helped. Thank your for your insight, it will be useful to help me create more realistic foliage!

  You've made a version of Parc Asterix, now it's my turn to recreate another French theme park lol! I had the chance to meet the current CEO of Nigloland years ago while attending a coaster enthusiasts meeting on the premises. He's such a nice guy! Nigloland is basically the park that saw me grow up, my family lives 1h drive away from there. So this will be my tribute to this very charming theme park, that became the 3rd most visited French theme park as years went by.

  Lovely to see a new screen from you. There is not much to see here, but it definitely has some potential. I think regarding the foliage 'less is more' is always a good tip. Don't know mich about your source material, but usually real theme park foliage doesn't look that wild. It's more well maintained.

  Ooh, I'm excited for this! I visited Nigloland in 2022 and it really liked it. Of all theme parks I visited over the past two years, if I had to reinterpret one, it might actually be Nigloland.

   

  This is what you recreated right?

  There's a few things I think you could improve here. Replace the fences on either side of the path with actual brick walls, get rid of the fence in the middle, and include the metal gates between the columns. The columns themselves are a bit unrefined. Even just a trim around the top part can make a bit of a difference.

  @RWE 
  Thanks! I watched Sssamy's tutorial on YouTube. Anyway, Nigloland is a family owned theme park located in a valley full of woods, so the foliage isn't really well maintained in some parts of the park (mainly the oldest part of it). But I'd also loved to master the art of making realistic well maintained foliage, à la Disney.
  
  @Liampie
  Yes that's exactly this ride. Obviously the screen I posted is still very early WIP. I posted it to show that, well, I'm still alive and playing from time to time! I'm taking your remarks into account and will change a few things here and there soon.
