This involved quickly understanding these studios' partly completed content pipelines, GPU/memory maps, performance targets, technical and visual requirements, and teaching all of these to CA's internal art staff, as well as a full share of IC work on these games.DOOM 4 (Co-development, PS4, XB1, PC)Led external (with id Software) and internal (Certain Affinity) communication on art technologies, and trained the art team on idTech 6.
