Experience (8/09-Present)Environment Artist, ZeniMax Online Studios, Hunt Valley, MD- I have been an Environment Artist primarily on the Biome Team for the past 6+ years. As the first member of the Biome Team, I helped set standards and procedures for production as well as help to decide the look and feel of our natural environments. I also worked closely with the graphics programmers as they built the engine to help get the technology we needed for development online. I've gotten to do a lot of world building in our alpha pockets, or test areas, that we use to show the world builders how we envision the assets we create being used. I often address concerns and requests from world builders as they build new zones. I created almost all of the terrain textures and clutter in the game as well as a large amount of trees, plants, and crafting nodes. I contributed heavily to our more nature-based architectural sets for the Bosmer and Argonian cultures.
