As the first 3d artist brought onto the Simcity project. I prototyped and created a good portion of the games residential, commercial and industrial (RCI) assets. I was influential in delivering the distinctive Maxis style and prototyping the visions from art directors, production and tech art.
We had incredibly tight polygon budgets that required critical thinking to work effectively. I was able to document several workflows that detailed the pipelines to new artists and outsourcing partners.
I did a large amount of technical data side setup for in game units. Placement for actors, lot objects, cars, dumpsters, signage, fire/smoke effects, lights, rubble, walking paths, foliage, bounding boxes, ect…)
In addition to modeling buildings,
I animated a great deal of the buildings.
- Hand authored 3 levels of LODs for each building assets. *This work was done by hand because our models were non manifold geo.
