Forza Horizon 6 - Towns & Rural Assets
I am incredibly proud to have worked on Forza Horizon 6. I co-managed the Assets and Outsourcing Teams within the Environment Art Team at Playground Games alongside my colleague Nathan Doye.
-
I was responsible for managing the quality and delivery of the work produced by the Internal Artists on my team as well as for one of our Outsourcing Vendors at Glass Egg (a Virtuos Studio).
-
During Concept and Preproduction, I was responsible for building the Assets & Outsourcing Teams at Playground Games and creating and maintaining a high-level vision for the workflows and quality which we wanted to ultimately deliver on. I assisted in planning and scoping as well as onboarding our Outsourcing Teams.
-
During Production and Shutdown, I worked with my direct reports and Glass Egg on behalf of the Environment Art Lead and Art Directors to deliver on their vision for the project.
-
Within this post is a collection of some work that I was responsible for and contributed to with regards the Towns and Rural areas of Forza Horizon 6. As with any project of this scale, it was highly collaborative with lots of support in many areas so thanks to all who worked on FH6!
