Im excited to finally share my teams submission for the Beyond Extent team challenge: ''Kingdom below''.
The 5 of us had 5 weeks to create an environment from scratch.

Shout out to our team mentor who guided us through the process and gave fantastic feedback throughout:

This was my first time taking part in a Below Extent challenge and I had a ton of fun working alongside everyone, learning more about creating environment art.

I was tasked with creating the rocks and roots in the scene along with some other misc tasks including vfx, composition and post-production. I took this opportunity to learn a new program, material maker, to create the tileable materials which took a while to wrap my head around but very fun none the less!
We were heavily inspired by Wayfinder for this project and aimed to achieve a similar visual quality overall to the games evironments.
