​During my time with Gamm Minus as a character artist, I had the pleasure of working on their flagship game "Cold Comfort," (CC) working with a fantastic multidisciplinary and multinational team. CC is a AA 5v5 PvP zombie survival game that combines elements of left for dead and Rainbow 6: Siege. Whilst working here my primary responsibilities included the creation of high-quality photorealistic character and zombie models for use in Unreal Engine 4 that utilised modern PBR and skin texturing and rendering pipelines, starting from concept through to the finished product. Furthermore, I was responsible for creating character and clothing sets that were optimised for the procedural generation of zombie NPCs', I also designed and implemented character materials in Unreal during RnD and zombie texturing materials in Substance Painter.
