Volition - Alien Flesh Planet - (modular) assets, materials & foliage

For 6 months I have been working with a team on a game, called: Volition. With the art department we spent our time designing and visualising an alien planet. The planet is a living organism, consisting of meat, veins, skin, a breathing system and a blood circulation. We spent a month on researching how this living planet was 'born', how it eats, reproduces and reacts to outsiders. In order to make the planet feel completely otherworldly, we came up with the idea to make a vertical world. The living planet consists of huge pilars of flesh and skin, reaching so high and deep the player can never see the end or beginning. We deliberately made the environment to be disorienting.
I have had the pleasure of working full time on the 3D fleshy alien environment. I have enjoyed working on the project and have taken on many interesting challenges. The design of the enormous pillars turned out to be the major challenge: they had to be modular customizable but also organic and random.
Here follows the rest of the team.
