Shootmania Storm

Early Prototype Researches [GameDesign, Tech and Styling]

From 2010 to 2012, I worked on Shootmania : Storm pre production and prototype.

Was in charge of "The Castle Kit / Walls".

I worked with Francois-Xavier Delmotte to define the modularity than made all the according blocks from modeling to texturing and lighting. Also worked on rocks, cliffs, and vegetations.

Challenges :
- Defining the visual foundation of Shootmania
- Working on what will be Shootmania [While we knew how to make a Trackmania, we had to figure out the FPS mania recipe].
- Set top notch modularity system.
- Once reconstructed environment got to be credible.
- Photo sourcing textures. [Diffuse, Spec, Glossiness, Fresnel, Normal Map].
- Optimizing the data [Tri Count, Lods, UVS, Lightmaps].
- Set lighting on my own blocks so they could look nice in all moods [Morning, Day, Evening, Night].

The team was really small for a such quality : 4 persons.
