I worked on the Metkayina Commons area, the main gathering space in the Metkayina village. The goal was a space that felt lived-in and sacred at the same time, while still fitting naturally into the massive tree roots and nature around it. I was one of at least 5 artists working on the entire set, and I built and refined the bamboo framing that was reused throughout structures, fabric and garments using large texture sheets for repeatable use, dressed the roots and surrounding environment, and built the props that fill the space.

Hero Props and Set Dress

• Was part of the team who were initially tasked with bringing the marui to life, with aid from concept art I helped figure out how various marui would be built in 3d space, modeling and texture various homes throughout Metkayina village.

• Modeled and textured various baskets and vases to be used as set dressing in Commons area.

Structure and Look Dev

• Modeled and refined walkway for Lo’ak’s emotion driven scenes.

• Made sure the Commons area was structurally sound with the straps holding it in place using the environment around it, and helped develop final look for the large straps that hold up structures throughout the village.

Layout and Asset Generation

• Modeled, textured, and dressed a wide range of reusable assets and textures for village and Commons sets.

• Helped our team fine tune the look of the walkways through texture and shader adjustments.
