Mountain Passes - mountanous open-world area (Bus Simulator 27)

Mountain Passes

The mountainous region of the map was by far the largest and most complex area I designed for the Bus Simulator 27 project. It is not only the most vertically elaborate zone but also contains multiple sub-areas, including the Iberian village, the overlook hotel complex, and a scenic canyon route accommodating both the highway and a functional railroad track.

To achieve the desired effect, I leveraged extensive landscape sculpting, spline meshes, procedural generation, and many other tools I became familiar with while developing previous zones.

The following screens speak for themselves, though it’s worth noting that collaboration with the project’s art team was exceptionally effective, both aesthetically and technically.
