Splitgate 2 - Fracture Biome
This Biome was quite a challenge to concept out, we went through multiple iterations as it initially started with an idea of: Floating Rocks. We ended up with making it a SSL facilitated arena around the fractures of a broken-planet. Hence the name: Fracture! Here's a collection of images and concepts done for the Biome!

Initial Key Art that really sold the idea of what this Biome would become!
Fracture Player POV Key art 1
SSL Arena Tube - It's very rewarding to see some of your concept meshes end up in game that close to the original!
Vista shot done after most of the concepting was done, this was mostly to provide context to the team how the skybox should look like.

POI Concepts
Concept that was a bit more out there and ultimately wouldn't work for a franchise like Splitgate with this much fidelity and negative spaces!
Concept for the Center structure that we ended up re-using in a different way.
The Meatgrinder POI overpaint, Love this POI in game as its just pure chaos when you have the capture the center point!
Beauty Corner work - basically we worked on 1 area of the map first to get to a certain quality bar and then apply that all over the biome.
Fracture Rock Assets Concepts
More Rocks - Additionally illustrated how the Soil Horizons of this Biome would work.
Blender Viewport Flythrough - This Biome was so much work to get done but the end result is incredible!
Final in-game Biome - shoutout to the entire art team for pulling this one off!
