About

​     Working on this project allowed me to grow into more of a technical animator role through implementing crowd simulations in an assortment of our pre-rendered scenes. (You can see my crowd simulation reel below)

     I've also acted in a supporting role as a liaison between the cinematic department and the design team. Here, I work with design to determine where our scenes starting and ending locations are as well as to maintain a consistent feel as the player moves from real-time to pre-rendered conditions and back again. 

     Whenever characters and props change in our ever-changing game cycle, I need to make adjustments to our motionbuilder assets to ensure a 1 to 1 matchup so all animations play correctly.

​

Other day to day duties:

• Preparing and organizing MotionBuilder files for layout and animation

• Wired up cinematics in-game through use of the Lith-Tech editor and it’s proprietary scripting

• Used Maya to convert game characters and objects for animation within MotionBuilder

• Responsible for creative direction, creation and management of all crowd simulations using Miarmy for Maya

• Placement of set dressing for all cinematic scenes

• Created custom IK/FK rigging in non-humanoid characters using MotionBuilder

• Rendering and storage of scenes
