On this game I created several buildings using custom normals as opposed to baking. I was also responsible for the prefab setup and the dressing of buildings with modular assets. I am currently working on Elite Dangerous, which has allowed me to create more organic creations such as space creatures, seeds and space molluscs. These were sculpted in Zbrush, Retopologized then baked in Substance Painter. Show less
