I got to work on the giant kit of trees you find in the forests of Dorn with my fellow Environment artists, Alex Creamer and Brandon Ray. I got to take Alex's tree blockouts and work on getting them closer to a polished look. I was in charge of constructing the canopies and welding the branches to the trunk, as well as getting a basic unwrap on the models and adding more form to the trees themselves. I got to add 2 more variants to the main tree kit which brought it up to 5 total models and 2 fire bee versions. From there I made a bunch of stumps and logs as well as slabs of wood for the lumber yard. Alex worked on all of the trunk textures which turned out amazing. He then took all of the trees to final trunk polish which included better mapping the UVs to his completed textures and welding all the roots to the base of the trunks. He then popped out a lot of detail on the model once the UV's were in place utilizing the detail from his textures and texture blending. Brandon joined in to help us polish up the geometry on the stump kit as well as finish polishing the texture for the wooden slabs and polishing up its geo as well. Our World Builders and World Artists did a great job using this giant kit to create a beautiful forest for the zone.
