World of Warcraft: Guardians of the Dream - Amirdrassil, the World Tree

Amirdrassil is a World Tree found in the Emerald Dream in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight. It is based off of a key art image provided by Gabe Gonzalez. I was responsible for modeling and texturing the tree, which was no easy task due to it's extremely large size. This was the first tree I've made with a standard canopy and branches so it was quite a challenge!

Big thank you to Gabe for providing the base design for the glowing runes on the tree bark and to Amber Hill for setting up clouds and particulates in the canopy of the tree to make things feel more magical. The roots that are placed under the tree and throughout the zone, but separate from the World Tree model itself are made by Cory Carrilio. I also worked with Carson Marlow and Sarah Benyona on the World Building/World Art teams who ensured the tree was well situated in the environment and everything was tied together nicely with light rays, ivy, etc.

My lead, Matt Heyman, was also a big help in providing feedback and teaching me some useful ways to approach the construction.
