Fantastic Environment

this was a 5-man team project in which we were tasked with creating a 3D environment that was entirely fantastic. We chose to go with an alien planet concept, in which a mechanical tree is the source of all organic life on this planet. we had three levels, an initial crash site in a desert-like area, a jungle night-time environment, and a mechanical futuristic level. I primarily worked on the middle jungle level, focusing on conceptualizing and creating the plants and particles.

i did a paintover of a greybox back in the prepro phase, just to get a feeling for how populated and lush the environment should feel. here is the before and after:
