• Environment Artist at Soft Rains

  Remote, CA

  May 2024 - Present

  Ambrosia Sky is a Unreal Engine 5 first-person game about cleaning up a deadly fungus contamination, on a sci-fi colony on the rings of Saturn. I was the primary environment artist for most of the production up to release.

  Created most of the level art, modular kits, props, and environment tileable textures.
  
  Lighting and post processing for all levels.
  
  Authored environment master materials, including the vert painting material used to give our environments a distinctive high contrast style.
  
  Assisted design and tech art to help form our lighting blueprint setups. Light states were fully changeable in game due to the players ability to turn them on and off by cleaning them.
  
  Guided and reviewed the technical requirements and quality for assets delivered to us from contractors.
  
  Assisted in running marketing booths at PAX West and Vancouver Game Garden, showcasing to gamers and media.
