As an AI Tutor at xAI, I'm responsible for analyzing information on a host of topics, and ensuring the delivery of high-quality data.

At Doorway, first and foremost, I'm responsible for creating hand-keyed animations and cleaning up motion capture data for in-game and cinematic use, primarily using Autodesk Maya along with Rokoko/Move One/MoveAI. I iterate upon our animations in response to feedback from our Art Director. After finalization, I get these assets imported into our project in an organized fashion, where I will apply them in cinematics we base on storyboards or where they'll be applied in-game in Unreal Engine 5. Another responsibility of mine is environmental design and lighting, mainly for cinematics, in Unreal Engine, using assets provided by our artists, or pre-built assets such as Quixel Megascans. Lastly, I work closely with our Art Director to explore the integration of generative AI software (Stable Diffusion [ComfyUI and Automatic1111], various GPT-based tools and ChatGPT, and Midjourney) in our game and, more broadly, in entertainment. Thanks to this experience, I've grown to have a strong interest and understanding in generative AI tools, and have even trained various models under Doorway Studios.

On my team, I animate as well as clean up motion capture data for 3D characters (Maya), assist with sound design (Audition), video editing (Premiere Pro), and cinematic production (Unreal Engine 5, Stable Diffusion/Midjourney, and Blender).

Animating 3D characters using Maya and creating cinematics in Unreal Engine using those assets.

Using Maya, I was responsible for animating and rigging various 3D assets, including props, characters, and vehicles, and would implement those assets in Unreal Engine 4 and 5 for use in games and digital twins.
