Ghost of Tsushima - Envioronment Art - Kikuchi Estate

The Kikuchi Estate was one of the larger locations I worked on towards the end of the project. I was responsible for taking the initial layout past the template and creating a location that was not only polished but also met the needs of the mission designer. The work I contributed to this location consisted of Layout Modification, Terrain Sculpting, Terrain Texture/Wetness/Foliage Painting, and all interior/exterior set dressing. I also needed to build snow caps for a majority of the buildings and props in this location, since a lot of these assets were being reused from areas with less snow. One of my favorite parts of this area is the Shishi-odoshi near the frozen pond.
