My job at Monolith involved many different tasks including working with designers to layout the level, creating environment assets, overseeing a small group of in house artists, and working with outsourcers to deliver environment assets for our levels. Early on in the project I generally work with a texture artist to provide visual target assets to help.

My job at Visceral mainly revolved around world building and asset creation. I modeled and textured props including high res meshes to bake out normals, create shaders, and work with the designers to detail out our maps in DICE's Frostbite level editor. While at Visceral I worked on various titles including the Battlefield 3: End Game DLC, Battlefield 4.

My job was to take mockup geometry from level builders and lead a small team in fleshing out the environments of the various levels. When needed, I also modeled both high and low res props, painted textures, and created shaders.Titles shipped at Guerrilla:--Killzone 3

Whether it was through one on one communication with the in house artists or giving feedback and artistic training to the outsourcers on our forums, my job at Ignition was to help the artists reach the visual goals of our game. I reviewed individual assets, helped create pipelines and artistic/technical guidelines for our work, modeled and textured.

As the lead environment artist on Call of Duty: World at War, when I wasn't actually creating props and textures, a lot of my job was to give feedback to the environment team on individual assets, and to the build teams on the overall look of the levels. I was also responsible for polishing my levels before shipping including texture balancing, decal work.
