Skybox Art / Matte created for Board Gamelandia on the Meta Horizon Worlds platform!

I had an amazing opportunity to work with an excellent team for creating a translation of board games into a virtual reality environment!

This was the crux for establishing the feeling of being tiny in a huge game den, filling the room with just enough details and features to create the appropriate atmospheric feeling. The additional challenge here was to generate three different skyboxes with three different color moods based on the location in the room, and have them all correlate appropriately with one another.

Board Gamelandia is Developed by Nerd Ninjas in partnership with The Op for the Horizon Worlds Platform by Meta. ‘Tapple’ and ‘Hues and Cues’ are created and owned by The Op.

As a team member, I was responsible for the Skybox assets shown here. Art Direction by Cara Jones. Some models in the skybox such as the arcade machine were created by Justin Kupka.
