Level Artist - Modeler
During my time at Reflector, I got to the work on the vertical slice of the game and one of the early levels. I was responsible for the entire cave level shown below based on the level design blocking I was given. Some of the assets and gameplay elements were made by me as well
Following the vertical slice, I moved on from an organic level to an urban level. I made my first modular building kit and built out all of the level while collaborating with my level designer through each section of the level.
My tasks were to:
-
Layout from L0 to L3 while collaborating closely with level design and other departments.
-
Use layout tools such as Unreal's blueprint, landscape and foliage tools.
-
Create assets as needed (modular, gameplay and set dressing) following the production's guidelines
-
Work closely with the technical artists to test tools such as blueprints to keep certain pipelines optimal and document it to help other artists
-
Work with the cinematics/mocap department for scripted moments in my map.
Software used:
- Ground shaped and textured with Unreal's landscape tool - Foliage and ground details spread with Unreal's foliage tool - Vine kit and ground elements made by me
- Layout of the area made based on a design blockout - Collaboration with FX and light department to create opportunities for guidance and presentation.
- A Kit of stalactites and stalagmites with 4 pieces total was used across the cave.
