PCG Plant Growth

This experiment started by me wanting to explore how to use PCG points to spawn objects near the player. I scattered points all over the map with PCG and saved the locations out into an array. Then in Blueprints, I measured the distance of each point towards the player and spawned these Plant-Alembics on them, which I created in Houdini.
To optimize the system I implemented a partition-system and used proper plant pooling to make it scalable. it was a lot of fun to figure that out in Blueprints. I will make a blog-post explaining the setup in detail soon.

The environment I made in PCG, I used assets from the NordicConiferBiome from PixelGoat Store.
