Shadow of the Colossus: Grass

All of the multiple variations of grass I created for the GPU rendering and placement for SotC. There was strict limitations on how many tris I could use in each group due to the GPU rendering. I pushed the limits of what I was told I could do much to the engineer's dismay but it runs! MegaScans were used as a base for these materials. Megascans were a huge help for this project as I am the only vegetation artist at Bluepoint.

Very early example of GPU grass rendering. Once the ground was vert painted to support grass the models could very easily be switched out for a different look for the same area.
