Halo Infinite Forbidden Foliage

For Forbidden, I assisted in creating foliage and organic setdressing, as well as in providing work orders and outsource feedback for our partners. I made foliage from scratch with SpeedTree and Zbrush, and also built with MegaScans - examples in the last three images.

Forbidden came together through the talents of many individuals! Thanks to Forbidden's level designer, Cliff Schuldt, for this credit list:

Contribution: Foliage assets and organic set dressing. The roots are a combination of solid meshes, two tiling root alphas that could be added or subtracted from each other, and smaller root clusters baked to cards.

An example of some root structures I setdressed. The root set had secondary material variants to support the "dry" side of the map, as well.

Contribution: Root set. All roots were kitbashed from this set and combined with card bakes and the tiling alphas. The bark on the roots, dry and mossy, were done by our internal materials team.

Close to the final atlas made in SpeedTree. I used the climbing fig MegaScans for the source textures, with post work in Substance. Large cards supported by small details that would LOD out quickly.

I used chestnut leaf MegaScans for the magnolia leaves by displacing and sculpting over them in Zbrush, with post on the final atlas in Substance.

And holly fern textures were turned into a huperzia plant, the final atlas arrangement in SpeedTree in the upper right and one of the arrangements in the lower right.
