Project Date: 2010
\nCreated with:<\/strong>\u00a03ds Max, Photoshop, & Unreal Engine 3
\nResponsibilities:<\/strong>\u00a0Environments, Props, Lighting, Shaders, & Kismet Scripting<\/p>\n

Environment Breakdowns:<\/strong>\u00a0During production, I was responsible for four levels and various smaller cinematic or hub environments.\u00a0 For the Roman Ruins level, I built a set of ruined wall pieces, arches, pillars, and small buildings to dress the labyrinthine level design.\u00a0 It was determined that there weren’t enough vertical gameplay opportunities in the original layout, so I worked with the design team to come up with creative solutions to the problem.\u00a0 For the Roman Villa, I built all of the architectural pieces and dressed and lit the area as well.
\nFor the Taipei Warehouse and Grand Hotel environments, in lieu\u00a0of concept art, I relied heavily\u00a0on reference from two real-world locations and began to create sets of assets to mimic those environments.\u00a0 I then dressed and lit the areas, working very closely with the design team to make gameplay areas that also mimicked the real-world locales.
\nI lit the Yacht environment and built the surrounding vista for it as well.<\/p>\n

Prop Breakdowns:<\/strong> I made a great number of props throughout production.\u00a0 These were all created in 3ds Max and textured in Photoshop.<\/p>\n
