COD Warzone - Rebirth Hell - Scare Package

This is the unique Care Package I made for the Rebirth Island Halloween event. Wanted to make something in line with the theme but not less gross-out and more cool.

For Warzone's Halloween 2024 event I was in charge of retheming Rebirth Island to a Hell theme. The look is derived from the work we did on Das Grosse; a red tendrily, sticky horror growing across the world. We added the idea of glowing portals and cracks in the world that the Hell spawn grows out from. I and one other artist we're tasked with re-theming every area of the level. I even got to make a Flying Shipment creature you can control and land on!

Probably the biggest challenge was getting a unique look while staying within the constraints of Warzone memory and perf requirements. We are drastically limited artistically on Warzone because we're pushing the engine well beyond what it's best at. Basically halving all our material layering, insanely aggressive LODing, almost no transparency overlap. Additionally, we had to build on top of what was there so we had to be careful not to blow the budget on the new content.
