Reading the fandom wiki of Star Citizen, one of my favorite games, I decided to imagine a biome on an existing planet of the game’s lore.
The planet Vosca (Elysium III) of the Elysium system has not yet been publicly developed by the studio and is therefore not yet in the game, which is also why I wanted to make a visual and personal proposal of it.
Vosca is described as arid, desert and excisively prone to thunderstorms and sandstorms.

From this I wanted to develop a mineral identity that would be unique to this planet.
By mixing the parameters of storms and sand desert I was inspired by the phenomenon of Fulgurite which consists in the vitrification of sand under the effect of the heat of a thunderstorm lightning, forming sinuous tubes of natural glass.

I extrapolated this phenomenon in its size, frequency and materials to create a forest of fulgurites and thus imagine modulable assets and use them in procedural generations, while also thinking about the technical constraints of optimization of the initial game.

By the density of forests of fulgurites I also wanted to think of a gameplay challenge in the practice of low fly of Star Citizen, which corresponds to flying in spacecraft at very low altitude by crossing obstacles on the ground.
