TRAIN SIM 2 REDMOND, WA, USA MICROSOFT - 2003

This was a short contract job to create assets for a Train Simulation. game. Working with the flight Sim team at Microsoft, we created assets for this game.
Much of my initial work comprised of creating scenery object assets for the game from buildings to cars at different levels of detail complete with specular and opacity maps.

Later I was responsible for taking on some troubleshooting of character setups in our game using Character Studio in 3ds max. Along these lines I recreated a few character skins and skeletal setups and applied and blended existing motion capture data to the skeletons using Motion Builder.
Involved in this was a lot of troubleshooting of transferring these animations successfully to the game engine with the old London Studio programmers.
These are some sample low Level Of Detail (LOD) characters with 256x256 maps.
The highest LOD mesh is shown below with a UVW map created for texturing.

These are sample scenery objects. Built from references on a fast turn-around (approximately 1 per day with associated texture maps), they needed to have 3 to 4 LOD meshes and an opacity, and specular map and sometimes luminosity map attached.
