Forza Horizon 4: Fortune Island - Terrain

While working on Fortune Island I got the opportunity to work on the Terrain Team, owning an area of Fortune Island. This area included the festival town, the woodland, beaches and mountain side around it.

My responsibilities included:

- Sculpting the terrain
- World Machine erosion
- Painting the Splat Map (materials) for this area which informs a lot of the ground cover vegetation placement as well
- Seasonal painting of Splat Map materials
- Beach sculpting and wetness setup
- Cave interior terrain
~~~
Terrain is a largely collaborative process so credit goes to the whole Environment Team for the final look of the environment.

The large area which I worked on included the valley leading up to the mountain.

I helped define the look of the forest floor in the woodlands area which was then used across other areas of the map.
