Snowball Fight (AAU Collab 2021)

I was the 3D Art Lead for the AAU collab project in the spring and fall of 2021, working with a team of model and texture artists. We worked with the design teams to help build out game levels to fit the narrative, follow the level design, and assist player pathing.
This game is still in an early alpha stage.

- Performed live demos when questions came up from team members
- Made modeling adjustments to meshes when necessary
- Built out the environment in Unreal Engine to replace the block-out while adhering to established level design and player pathing
- Performed all environmental staging throughout the level
- Created lighting and atmospheric effects
- Imported meshes/textures and created materials in Unreal Engine
- Created LODs in Unreal for assets
