Horizon Zero Dawn - Asset Benchmark Concept

Early in the world building process for Horizon Zero Dawn, I created this concept to act as a visual benchmark for asset development.

Art Director JB Van Beek wanted to push everything to the next level - so even an individual set of stairs needed to demonstrate the fine craftsmanship of Horizon's cultures. I researched wooden construction techniques and then built this stair unit in high detail

I really enjoyed moving from tech to woodwork on this project - many principles are shareable between new technology and older approaches :)
