As a real-life gardener, designing a Japanese-style garden in a racing game like Forza Horizon 6 is the last thing I ever imagined doing. I merged my profession with my passion for Virtual Photography, building everything on instinct. The goal was to find a geometric yet natural balance, carefully managing visual weight to honor the spirit of Japanese landscaping with the utmost respect. Despite its asset limits, this editor allows for a very fluid World Building approach, letting me apply the same mindset I use every day on the job. More than just placing objects, I wanted to create a place that could actually exist. Right now, the project is a 90% completed draft. Note: The audio is not downloaded or AI-generated. I removed the drone buzz and replaced it with ambient sounds recorded directly in my own garden. I know... it's winter in the game while the audio was recorded in mid-summer (you'll hear cicadas and birds, with a car passing by towards the end), but I liked the idea of making this walk feel more natural @WeArePlayground #ForzaHorizon6 #EventLab #WorldBuilding #VirtualPhotography #GardenDesign
