Concord || Robot Ruins Decal Kit
Based off of the moss material I created, these decals helped to blend large moss pads with the ruins they sat on.
General lichen and moss discoloration and weathering decals.
This recessed edge decal was both used on its own, and as a support element to the 'reveal' decal that shows stone blocks beneath it.
Created with a combination of decals, meshes, and materials, these reveal decals were instrumental in selling the ruined look of the stone architecture in this level. Stones by Mak Malovic.
Kit of metal dents made for Robot Ruin, but then used throughout nearly every level in Concord.
A set of 'weird surfacing' that I created based on some shapes in Kunrong Yaps concepts for this map. We leaned into having these feel almost skin like, and make the player feel like this map was other worldly.
Fiberglass reveal decals based on some Josh Lynch graphs that he authored early on in pre-production. I adjusted the graphs for our needs, and then created decals shapes off of them.
A significant part of my work on Concord was in the creation of decal kits. These ranges from full material kits like the moss, to more normal focused decals like the metal damage and weathering. The decals shown here were created with Robot Ruins in mind, but I also considered their use throughout other maps, and tried to keep them semi universal within their material expression.

The plaster damage decals were a collaboration between Mak Malovic, Evan Liaw and myself. I created a set of shapes that our team needed, and then used Substance Designer to create different versions of damage or patches. Using these, and different modeling and material techniques, we created some reveal decals that went from plaster to Maks awesome stone blocks.

All of these were really fun to work on, especially the more 'weird spacey' metal weathering decals. I took inspiration from Kunrong Yaps concepts for this map, and tried to translate some of his sketchy lines into real surface expression. We took inspiration from animal skins and shells, and odd patterns that we found in our reference hunting. These were all made as normal only decals, so they could be placed on any surface without the need to make multiple color versions.
