I have a hand-coded personal ...

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!
