Production Pipeline

As Principal Artist, I authored this development pipeline to coordinate team efforts and to visually expose inter-departmental dependencies to all team members. Once implemented, the amount of re-work and wasted assets drastically lowered. Additionally, all project milestones hit their delivery dates despite several script re-writes we received from Pixar. This pipeline improved the overall efficiency of level production and secured the iteration time required to ensure the high quality standard demanded by Pixar Animation Studios.

In addition to managing the art team for Disney/Pixar's "Up" the game, I also designed a pipeline that enabled us to export multiple assets to Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii without having to branch the levels. This effectively meant that all art assets had branching properties that created two distinctly different artistic directions that were aimed at different core audiences, one for the Xbox, the other for the Wii, yet the assets could be managed within a single repository. The final product shipped simultaneously for Wii, Playstation 3 and XBOX 360 in over 40 countries in 2008.

For Style Studio I also directed the clothing pipeline. We created tools that allowed users to design and apply their own original fashion patterns to their entire clothing inventory. Because clothing morphed along with body shapes, we were able to create fashion archetypes that could be combined into any conceivable style of clothing. Every single outfit in the app was user generated and .
