VALORANT - Lotus
My contributions to the Valorant map Lotus.
I was quite surprised the first map I'd be helping on would be a India temple themed map and it was so exciting to learn all the new tools while working on this map. I joined the team while they finished out the blockout of the map to help with production and some material research. Special thanks to Sabrina and Del who kept answering all my questions during the beginning lmao.
I mostly worked in and near the spawn areas on the map and had the chance to create a few materials and trims that are used all over. Towards the polish phase I kinda went all over the map to elevate some areas with some new rocks that I made and general polish (and fixed so many bugs on god.)
This was a great experience with the best of people:

It's a big one. Go maps team!
Don't think there isn't anyone who didn't have a hand in this shot.
Mostly worked around attacker spawn for this map and hand placed all the vegetation. Thanks to Matt Burdette for the big vines!
Attacker spawn from different angle. Did a big pass on the floors and back wall. Also dressed up the vista at the end. I think almost everybody touched that vista at some point!
Floor work in Spawn. Lots of texture blends and decals, trims and so on. Was fun to get it to this point. There is a hidden tactibuddy in this picture.
The room where it happened. I cut my teeth in this room and brought it to completion. BMart did a sick job lighting this.
Another angle and the vine of my nightmares.
Another stellar example of BMarts lighting .
I made a few new rocks to place around the map and added them to the vista that George Sokol had made.
Also worked in Defender Spawn + Bonus view of George's vista.
