For "The Climb" I was part of the two men vista group and created together with Finn Meinert Matthiesen all the backgrounds.
Overall I focused more on the asset side, creating modular mountain, rock, building and river sets for the settings and Finn took care about the whole Vista art direction and focused more on the composition. But ín general we basically splitted up the work and collaborated in many areas.
For the USA setting I worked on the Mountains modules and was in charge of all the rivers and waterfalls in all the scenes.

The foreground and the gameplay areas where done by Tom Deerberg (LeadArtist), Björn Wimar, Maximilian Keilich, Sebastian Schulz, Philipp Schmidt, Ron Fröhlich and Matthias Wagner. Credits go also to Robert Stephens and Patrick Gladys.
The global art direction was done by Pascal Eggert.
The main challenge was to achieve all this on target spec with 90 frames per second.
