The Last of Us: Part 2 - Santa Barbara Swimming Pool

This was an early concept for Santa Barbara, a pool behind a mansion.
We were given a 3d block out of the whole area, and I used Modo back then to do a quick render of the light and shadow.
I had a hard time on this one due to the angle and a sudden shift in types of trees.
Personally not very satisfied with the final outcome but I did learn a great deal from this piece.
Really enjoy doing this set of concepts during that time.
I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoy making them!

I was working on these series with my awesome teammates too! Check out their work on the Santa Barbara pieces!
