Pitfall: The Lost Expedition Position Technical Artist Responsibilities Modeling/texturing/animation 3D User interface design/implementation Particle effects Developed For PS2 XBOX NGC Programs Used 3D Studio Max Adobe Photoshop My first task for Pitfall was to design, model, map, weight and animate the latest incarnation of the pit. I created several 3D animated concepts ranging from a collapsing sink hole to the final toothy pit monster. My next task was creating the pause menu interface. I proposed and conceptualized a hybrid interface which combined animated 3D models with a screen-based UI system. I spent a good amount of time working with programmers to create, refine, re-work, and test the system, working within the limitations of our memory budget. I also created many effects, for gameplay and real-time cinemas. This included a variety of particle effects, breakables and shader effects/sorting. I worked closely with programmers to evolve and test the functionality of the tool, ultimately assisting in the creation of a new tool during the next project.
