God of War Ragnarok - Foilage & Sculpting of Realm Between Realms

Video of wind set up on leaves and branches

Realm Between Realm foilage was a mix of cherry blossoms and driftwood. Originally we had the trees more bare with less leaves but when that was implemented, I felt it was missing a lot. Adding the cherry blossom look really helped sell the visuals of this type of mystical realm, free from danger. The foliage, mushrooms, tress and moss are blue because it is infused with the Yggdrassil tree, nodding to the Realm Travel room in Midgard Tyr's Temple from God of War 2018. So we wanted to keep that look, even though we revamped all of RBR from last game.
I was responsible for the entirety of the foliage creation via modeling and sculpting / materials / set dressing / wind set up.

As for the sculpts, these are various sculpts that I made for Sindri's House itself that I feel like I wanted to show.
