THE GRAND TOUR GAME

ENVIRONMENTS

These environments were based on real world locations with tracks that were mapped using satellite DEM data. The goal was to make the player feel like they were playing the show with seamless transitions from filmed footage into gameplay. Thus, a lot of attention was spent studying reference and arting up levels to match real world locations.

Responsibilities I held include:
Landscape painting, sculpting, set dressing levels with assets, decals, and foliage creation and optimization, vista creation and population, creation of some environment assets, textures, materials, vegetation, and some environmental effects.

Environments were created in a collaborative effort with artists :

Chris Mcleod, Charlie Kim, Daniel Davila, Eric Joo, Shashank Verma, Elpidio Loveranes, and Dorothy Chen, with support from Amazon artists. Art direction under Scott Chiu and Amazon Game Studio Leads.

TEMPLE OF CALIGULA

UE4 ENGINE

I led the art direction with a team of 4 other environment artists to develop this Roman ruins scene. 

My primary roles were creation of materials, meshes, textures, post process, lighting, set dressing and world building the environment. I led the art direction of my team to create an environment that visually relays the story and world expression of the reign of despotic emperor Caligula Caesar 3rd Emperor of Rome.  

The concept was Inspired by Ryse, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, the House of Black and White from Game of Thrones, and the crazy film Caligula directed by Tinto Brass and Bob Guccione.
