really love the skybox on broken moon, so complex and beautiful.

just wondering, was there a gameplay reason to not go for a darker / more extraterrestrial color? for example like the sky on the Encore arenas map. curious what the reasoning was for going with brighter blue skies here if that’s something your able to share. assuming it might have to do with player visibility? thanks again for your incredible work.

Great job on this. You can ask my teammates, I'm constantly admiring the sky on Broken Moon.

Tu you're a legend and it was such an honor watching you pump out amazing art over the years T_T

(Also don't worry about them taking away your Dev status, they'll probably just adjust it like they did mine :P )

Did you make Olympus’s most recent skybox, with the city below? That’s my favorite view in all of Apex and Titanfall, it’s amazingly done. This new skybox is also really great! It reminds me a lot of Avatar, with the sky waterfalls and stuff

Last art for Apex before bye bye (shivering with emotion and memories)

Broken Moon Skybox is one of the most ambitious, technically
challenging, and fun skyboxes I’ve worked on.
I left Respawn while the Moon map is 6 months from ship, so lots has changed by the time the map was released to the public. (Mod may take my Respawn Dev status away.
After 12 yrs with Respawn, I needed a break rejuvenate my health and
art passion, and to spent more time with my son and soon baby boy.

What you see here
1. early production work and ideation of Broken Moon sky, set extension, and fx animation
2. Encore moon sky
3. finished production of World’s Edge season 13 skybox (team up with Marcos Shih)

Hope you guys enjoy! More details and concept art here or other Apex and Titanfall Art

My favorite work of yours is still World's Edge S10. The rainfall where the volcanic air and climatizer air meet is such a neat touch, and shows you gave genuine attention to the weather implications of it - a real treat for a meteorology student. The whole skybox really sells the idea of two airmasses colliding.

Also, if you're still in contact with them, please tell the artist(s) who did Storm Point's skybox that I love them.

I'm here in advance just to say:

Respawn artists are NOT responsible for the games constant freezing and other issues. Please do not harass this dev for those issues.

Hey everyone, to those experiencing the freezes, can you try adding this line to your launch parameters "+watchdog_time_milliseconds 30000". Then once the game freezes please wait about 30 seconds, a prompt should show up saying "The game is not responding. Press Retry to wait or Cancel to quit the game.", we need you to hit cancel. This won't fix the problem but it should help us get some more information to get it fixed ASAP.

How to add command lines:

EA App:

From “My Collection”, click on the three dots in the upper right corner of the Apex Legends tile and select “View Properties”.

Add "+watchdog_time_milliseconds 30000" in the text box under “Advanced Launch Options”.

Click “Save” and launch the game normally.

Origin:

From “My Game Library”, right click Apex Legends -> Game Properties -> Advanced Launch Options

Add "+watchdog_time_milliseconds 30000" to Command line arguments
