const texture = useTexture('/fake_forest.webp')

where can I get this texture?

Hi there! this texture is just a PNG of a tree. I can't give you the one that I'm using in that project but you can use any PNG texture and it will work, okay? You can even create multiple instances of this Forest component and use different textures, passing the texture name as a Prop. That would give you more variations!

I hope it helps!
