Final Form - Battle Environments
Some previous iterations of the battleground environments for the unreleased project "Final Form". I was the 3D Art Supervisor and Lead Environment Artist for these. We inherited the scenes from an outsource studio, so a lot of what I did involved re-arranging existing assets to match updated concepts and to have stronger compositions with a more clear focal point, as well as setting up some first pass lighting to match the mood and colors of the concepts. I also did a fair amount of model cleanup, adjusting existing materials or making new materials as necessary, and scene optimization. Beyond that, we added additional assets to the scenes, some of which I did myself, but most of which were done by our asset artist Alexander Martin. I provided feedback and guidance on the new assets, in addition to supervising and providing feedback on the final lighting (Tony Alexander) and VFX (Mateo Gil Rios).
