Description of my work on this unanounced project:
Shortly after completing Blacksite: Area 51, I began working on an unannounced project with Midway. It wasn't a project that i was particulary interested in, but the other projects within the studio were at their infant stages and not ready for artists yet. So I was asked to help out on this unanounced project for the next few months.
As a Senior Environment Artist on this project, my responsibilities include:
* instructed and aided other artists in creation of game art and techniques
* developed workflow techniques and guidelines for environment art creation
* documented those techniques and presented them to art team for shared use
* optimized game art for performance
* Environmental art creation (3d models, texturing, material creation)
*
Artistic Level Design
* Defined overall shape/layouts of certain levels
* Character and environment lighting
* scripting in game events in kismet
* setting up in game cinematics and scripted cut scenes
* prototyped environment asset creation
* defined quality bar with prototyped game levels
* created advanced materials and fx
* animated special events in editor, and created prefabs for reuse
* worked with designers in game level function and game play
* modeled and rigged mechanical skeletal meshes such as vehicles
* created paint overs and concepts for environment art, props, and floor plans for game levels
