• Point for environment fx • Led a team of 5 artists - 2 mid level environment artists, 1 associate artist, and 2 QA personnel in FX placement work. As well as training on adjusting underlying FX assets. • Created the FX that hold up the majority of the look for Vanaheim/ Jotunheim /Niflheim, as well as created much of the kits used for Svartlheim and Asgard. • Worked on textures specific to various needs in these realms.• Cinematic fx work• Character fx work • Odin - Bifrost attacks, God state, Evasion, Whip • Realm Glider - All for both Vanir/Aesir • Brok - rework of various attacks • Sindri - Flame pillar, time lock, bifrost attack• Texture creation • Responsible for many textures seen in the game, from the pollen/motes that hold up many environments, to drips, sand falls, and various decals. • Responsible for normalizing fire/smoke textures, optimizing them down to one texture and then creating a unified fire ramp for coloration of assets throughout the game. To help I expanded a personal script to output our proprietary JSON ramps allowing me to match the coloration of reference footage.
