The studio worked with an aging proprietary engine, lacked dedicated Art Direction, and maintained highly manual pipelines with almost no in-house tools. Artists frequently relied on fragile MEL snippets to export assets, and production required balancing multiple simultaneous mobile projects. Technical constraints of mobile hardware set tight budgets for models and textures, and with a smart art team, everyone contributed broadly across tasks.

delivered vehicles, props, and environment assets across all three titles, collaborating closely with another 3D Artist to establish naming conventions, structure, and visual direction - particularily on Rail Racing, where we defined the aesthetic ourselves. I integrated assets into the engine and optimized meshes and textures for mobile performance. I also created a UI wrapper for our MEL exporter, replacing a manual export process and marking the first step on a longer journey into Technical Art.
