I seriously had so much fun making this one. New rendering challenges, new workflow techniques, it was just all around a blast. I hope you enjoy something different!

‘Turns out, plants really like sunshine. Who knew?’
If I ever were to take up gardening, I would need to grow mushrooms. Sunlight irritates my skin (I use a parasol when I go out) and I darken my rooms with thick curtains, so I need plants which do not mind that.
The gymnosperms and cryptogams continue to enjoy a flowerless existence, even if flowering plants have supplanted most of them. They should get more love.

I dislike describing cultivated plants as man-made or ‘manipulated’. The variations involved would occur naturally, and the maize plant grows according to its own, unaltered nature; man’s only part in it was to maintain an environment where they could thrive, whereas they would have otherwise perished as freaks of nature. This fine point should not detract from how I enjoyed this film as a whole. I would quite enjoy more botanical discourses on your channel.

I am surprised you have got a Discord channel now after saying you disliked the site. What inspired you to create one there?

It's specifically for the Patreons. I thought a lot about it, and I can't really offer a lot of perks in general at this time, so that seemed like a reasonable one. Most people that use Patreon already link up their Discord accounts for other folks, so it wasn't like I was forcing people to join it or anything. That said, I encourage everyone there to be active here, because this is where I want the actual conversations to happen. That was the whole point of the forum, after all

Loved seeing your new environments with all the plants; It's super inspiring to see your technical workflow improve from video to video. (Also hbomberguy cameo whaaaat) Regardless, I've been inspired to hop into blender later today to see what I can put together lmao. Thanks!
