-Developing the look and theme of the Hawaiian environment from beginning preproduction to final art.
-Managing confluence and documenting authoring and art guides.
-I was the sole World Builder for this game and set dressed the entire environment.
-Grayblocking environments and iterating with level designers.
-Modeling and texturing the entire terrain and minimap.
-Modeling and texturing many props, buildings, and vegetation to be used in the environment.
-Creating Maya and Photoshop templates for model and texture authoring for improved efficiency and speed.
-Using blueprints to create ambient movement in the scene, including birds, kites, and hanggliders.
