Apex Legends S11 | Storm Point - Lightning Rod Hard Surface Terrain

I had the opportunity to work on the hard surface terrain for the Lightning Rod POI. It was one of the first bit of hard surface terrain work done for Storm Point. The style used elements from past IMC terrain work as well as the updated IMC Storm Point style created by Brooke Olson and Richard Rude. Many of the materials used were new ones created by both of them for the Storm Point IMC style.

For the terrain it was important to have obvious pathing for players. As a battle royale, players need to have a clear read from the sky and quickly understand where building entrances and exits are. It's sometimes a challenge to find the balance of good pathing, but also a clean read. There was also an extra challenge creating this area, as it was so early in the production of Storm Point that many of the buildings as well as the Lighting Rod itself were still in blockout and would have slight footprint adjustments.

Besides the general terrain, I also created two interiors - A service hallway and a building interior. For the building interior I borrowed a lot from Brooke Olson's IMC building styles. These were a lot of fun! I also created a simple modular elevator and scaffolding for this area.
