Apex Legends S11 | Storm Point - Barometer Organic Terrain

I had the opportunity to work on the organic beach terrain around the Barometer in Storm Point. This area was a nice change from the other terrain work I did on Storm Point. For this area I used the beach style created by Jake Virginia and tried to match the look of the surrounding zones. We wanted to keep this zone mostly sand, with foliage only on the outer edges of it. This was to help distinguish it from the other beach zones from the sky as well as allow the Barometer to stand out as the focus.
ㅤ
This zone was unique as it is an island and is surrounded by several smaller islands and water before it touches another zone. It was important to try and find a unique look for each of the smaller islands as they were easy to confuse for one another. We found that bringing in elements from the neighboring zones help orient those islands better.
