I created a 200’x200’ grid to represent the park area and placed cuboids at each grid point following the assignment steps. The size of each cuboid is based on the grid spacing, while the height is controlled by a sine-based function that depends on the distance to an attractor point. This creates a smooth wave pattern across the surface. The main parameters I adjusted were the grid density (number of points, depending on the step), the amplitude (which controls how tall the waves are), and the number of waves (which affects how quickly the height changes across the surface). I also used a base height to make sure all cuboids stay above the ground plane by setting it at least equal to the amplitude.
