Tree Village

I did terrain sculpting, terrain paint & vertex color, asset & grass placement, lighting, polish:




A comparison of my work vs. what was there before, same locale as above:

Volcanic Beach

In this level I created an animated volcano & sky, the water, and the lighting.




The volcano "reveal" from the player's perspective.




The layers I created for the volcano:

How I created the ocean waves:

Mountain Peak

I did level design, terrain sculpting, terrain paint & vertex color, assets & grass placement, lighting, polish. To the right is the "before" shot.

Mountain Valley

Here I did terrain sculpting, terrain paint & vertex color, assets & grass placement, lighting, water, polish. Before image is to the right.

Jungle Coast

This was a small area I did to finished quality, what we called an "alpha pocket". This was done as a proof of concept towards finishing of the rest of the level. On the right is how the terrain used to look beforehand.




A video of the layers I used to make the terrain:

Wild Forest

This is another "alpha pocket", a small section to show the team what direction to go in. I did terrain sculpting, terrain paint & vertex color, assets & grass placement, lighting, water, polish.

This is from a tutorial I made for the team, showing how vertex color can soften the transition between meshes and terrain. Left (with) vs. right (without):
