Star Wars: Smugglers Gambit is a new Fortnite island developed internally by Disney Games and Digital Entertainment.

I modeled, UV'd, textured, polished, optimized, and set dressed the cantina (Scuttled Sparrow) in the Hub in Star Wars: Smugglers Gambit, a new Fortnite island that released on August 16th. This is an area where players can be immersed in the world and get to interact with Nexa Jette and the bartender for new quests. Inside the bar tap liquids I included some easter eggs, like a new creature I designed (a Mothbat) which can also be found in the wilds. A huge thank you to Stephen Zavala from ILM / Lucasfilm for his amazing concepts and concept models! Thank you to Brian Beppu for making the final materials and architecture polish, and thanks to my art lead Martin Teichmann, as well as my art director Ken Morse! Special thanks to the immense contributions from everyone in Design, Concept Art, VFX, Character Art, Animation, Engineering, Sound, and Production Teams. This project is a result of the huge team effort and collaboration across our entire Disney Games and Digital Entertainment teams.
