Working on Gears 5 was an amazing experience. I had the opportunity to work with and learn from many knowledgeable and skilled individuals. These images from Act 1 Chapter 3 - This is War, are some of the areas where I contributed through additional set dressing and art polish tasks. Some of these tasks included vertex painting, decal placement, adding additional rubble and debris, creating proxy meshes for the environment art team, and working on custom road meshes.

In Act 1 I contributed to several areas of Chapter 4 - The Tide Turns. This first set of images covers the beginning of the level through to the hotel's kitchen. For these areas I contributed through additional set dressing and art polish tasks.

For a personal side project I sculpted two lion statues. One was posed growling while the other was posed alert and ready to pounce. I sculpted the high res version of these assets in ZBrush and finished the low res version in Maya. I created the base concrete and mossy materials in Substance Designer and painted the prop in Substance Painter.

This is one of the props I created for a personal side project where I explored creating a game environment in Unreal Engine 4. I sculpted a high res version of this asset in ZBrush and finished the low res version in Maya. Materials were created in Substance Designer.

This was my first side project in Unreal Engine 4 that I used to learn about and explore modular kit building, tileable textures, and material creation in my personal time. Looking back on this project there were many valuable lessons that I learned along the way that have influenced and changed my approach when working on these tasks.
