Star Wars: Battlefront - Twilight on Hoth - Frozen ice lake
For the "February 2016 Update" DLC for Star Wars: Battlefront I assisted Pontus Ryman on his level Twilight on Hoth with the area at the end of the level.
-
I created a frozen lake with ice blocks sticking up with their respective shaders. Level art for that gameplay area and the backdrop behind the lake (extended lake, mountain ridge, glacier and landed transport ships.
-
I created the lake and the blocks ice shaders and set them up to blend in snow to transition with the terrain, added paralaxing distorted layers of textures, negated cubemap for faked translucency to make them feel more transparent.
