VRChat world - Furry Grotto - need help with design

LidoBunny · Mar 14 2025

I am seriously cooking with this, and people who bother to come see it really seem to like it, but there is just something unfinished and missing about it. This whole center area is strange, and I am just having a hard time making things look good. I need help. Thank you in advance for any critique or advice.

imo some context would be helpful if you want feedback. I'm a character artist but I'm noticing obvious tiling in your grass material

I think lighting and color balance is a big part of why this looks "off". The darkest parts of your level look almost black.

I thought this blog post from Riot Games about League of Legends was really insightful, about the usefulness of carefully designing the color palette for a world:
