If you’ve ever played RDR2, you probably noticed when you walk over snow, it deforms as you walk through it. And its not just your character, anything that interacts with the snow affects it.

How the f**k does it look so good?

Strap in, another massive 🧵

Integrated my friday night sketch into the town. Also reworked the city entrance area and added some more poses for the mannequin. #UnrealEngine5 #gameart #leveldesign

Currently working on a map of the entire Velvet Road world and in the meantime - welcome to Nogroth - one of the youngest and fast-growing city-states of the Wild Sea Coast, where life is not so easy under the cold sun…

Did a rough blockout/sketch of the town church. #gameart #unrealengine5 #leveldesign

⚡️SOME NEW STUFF IS THERE⚡️
