2XKO - The Brazen Hydra

This was the third stage we made as part of the 2XKO stages team, and one of my favorites. The Bilgewater tavern aesthetic and lively NPCs always gave me a theme park vibe.
As the Lead environment artist, my responsibilities included overall layout, lighting, set dressing, modeling and texturing, some shader work, internal and outsource feedback and performance optimizations. Modelling of the Buhru statue and surrounding bar structure (excluding the bar counter), kitchen area, staircase, broken ship segments, general architecture such as pillars, walls, railings, and setting up our trim textures layouts. A lot of the final texture were done by Juliano Yi.

Our stages are a massive team effort, and I'd like to shout out the Stage team, especially Juliano Yi, Kiel Whitaker, Alex Gonzales, Servando Lupini, and Victor Yang for being such a fun, creative, supportive team to work with. Also thank you to Brandon Vuong, Sarah Tudor, Katon Callaway, Mike Henry, along with other contributors across Riot.
