Rio - Overwatch 2

I had the honor of working on the beautiful Rio de Janeiro map for Overwatch 2! The map was close to being finalized when I got on it, so I spent a few months doing a bunch of art and gameplay polish including reworking buildings, interiors, and props, doing set-dressing, working on UV's and materials, decals, making collisions, slippery passes, optimization, lighting charts, and lots of polish bug fixing to bring the map up to 100% finished. Like all the maps in Overwatch, this was a huge team effort. Credits go to Thiago Klafke for making the downtown / favela architecture and texture sets, Phil Wang, Daniel McGowan, Philip Klevestav, and the many talented people on Team 4 at Blizzard including the amazing Environment Art team. Special thanks to Lucas Annunziata for all of his help and knowledge, and also to our wonderful QA team!
