Project Work
Silence Falls: Mystery at Bay of Bells (UDK) Game Level- Senior Capstone
I was one of two team leads for this 1st person murder-mystery game level. This level included an opening cinematic and a playable indoor mansion. I aided in creating the concept, storyboarding, and developing a full 3D production pipeline that included over 20 team members. I was also the lead for the 3D modeling team. I allocated assignments and created deadlines for those assignments. I also constructed, unwrapped, textured and retopologized models.

Creatures Classified- MacArthur Foundation/HASTAC

I collaborated with the 3D team to create the opening cinematic for Creatures Classified, an educational game created by IUPUI professors and students. The game focused on the education of 10 to 11 year old students who were studying the science of classifying animals according to the biological classification system of scientific taxonomy and utilized the Spore Engine. Recipients of this grant were IUPUI PI: Professor Mathew A. Powers, and Co-PIs: Professor Tony Faiola, Professor Jennifer Stewart, and Professor Clint Koch.
