My Role in the Project:
I was the Technical Artist for this project. As the Technical Artist, I acted as an in-between for the artists and the programmers. As I was the only member in the group who had experience in creating games in multiple game engines, I used my knowledge to help my teammates with integrating their work into the engine. For example, I helped the environment artist learn to bring their models and textures into the engine and I implemented the work of the character artist/animator. I also helped the programmers understand the game engine. I helped with the organizational structure, getting version control set up, and helping them learn ways to bug-test their code in the engine. I also handled technical tasks that the artists needed help with in their workflow, such as rigging and helping with modeling and texturing.
