theHunter: Call of the Wild - Alberta Askiy Ridge Skywalk

Located a bit off the beaten path this skywalk offers the best views on the whole Alberta reserve, as long as you're not afraid of heights. Making this really made me wish we could use a wing suit in COTW! It's based on a real life skywalk located in Canada which has purposely rusted steel plates making up the structure. Normally I'm not a fan of this style of surface treatment on buildings but for this structure it grew on me, making for a pretty nice contrast against the surrounding rock, snow and sky.

I was responsible for modeling, texturing and set dressing this location. Working on COTW makes for an interesting challenge with very few artists sharing the load and short timelines, so you really have to pick and chose your battles and come up with workarounds to engine limitations. Special thanks to my lead Frederik Ostyn for his invaluable feedback!
