Realm Between Realms Fast Travel area...AKA "The Donut"
The donut refers to it being a large endless circle that Kratos or Atreus runs around until the Realm Gate opens. We decided to completely redo the look of this area compared to God of War 2018 because we wanted to match the art to Sindri's House, that also lives in the Realm Between Realms.
I was responsible for the entirety of this areas environment art such as asset creation, materials, sculpting, layout, and set dressing.
A challenge of this area was the fact that we needed the level to be extremely low memory in order to load immediately. Having a lot of foilage and trees proved to be an optimization challenge in order to get this area in memory budget.
I re-used all the assets and materials I created for Sindri's House in Realm Between Realms. Take a closer look at that project on my profile for material and asset breakdowns.
