Cinematic Act I - Chapter II
Responsible for Skybox, background Vistas and city extension.
To match the meshing and lighting in Unreal I exported all the model and texture assets and re-assembled the city in Clarisse. I populate trees, created masks for the window lights and built a Matte system using scopes for projection layers in nuke.
Concept for this location, experimenting with time of Day shifts for the returning cinematic later in the game.
Concept pushing a more gloomy and oppressive feeling to this area for the returning cinematic later in the game.
Some rough composition and lighting concepts to support cinematic meshing and lighting goals in this location.
Gears 5 - Act I - Chapter 2: Diplomacy
The development of the upheavals in the background went through a process. Early concepts were chunkier and direction guided us towards something more angular and sheer.
Development Process:
World Machine (Base shapes and variation) > Zbrush (Refinement and Optimization) > Clarisse (Texture, scattering, lighting and rendering) > Photoshop (Enhancement and cleanup) > Nuke (Assembly of Texture sheets > (Maya to create cards and uvs) Unreal Engine (For implementation, final tweaks and atmospherics).
