Laying out the background bones and giving it flow and movement was tons of fun!
One key element we wanted was lots of bird poop, I went a bit heavy :). As a bonus, convinced FX guys to add said birds that are the culprits.
Set dressing and repurposing existing coral assets was tons of fun!

It was important to get a different view of the skeleton from spawn points on either side of the island.

All of it in motion. I set up the ocean water, foam and waves here.
Re-textured and up-rezzed version of this Tetrapod asset that was used in Titanfall 2. Was fun staying true to the original while adding more fidelity to it.

After some back to back ownership of large zones in Tropics, it was nice to play a support and polish role on Habitat 4, our newest Arena map. Tri Do headed up the map, and Leah Augustine and I were supporting him in a relatively quick production of a couple of weeks. I worked on setting up the periphery ocean (its foam painting, waves painting/direction, detail color, etc.), laid out/composed/set dressed the Leviathan bones in the mid-range vista (all existing assets with material tweaks) and re-textured old props and vegetation with higher res textures and shader updates for foliage movement.
