The Sims Position Character artist UI designer/artist Responsibilities Character modeling/texturing/weighting Character R&D 2D User interface design/implementation Object Modeling/animation Organization/asset management Developed For PS2 XBOX NGC Programs Used 3D Studio Max Adobe Photoshop Microsoft Excel I was one of two character artists on The Sims and was responsible for all female characters in the game. I also worked with programmers to create a system to allow for the necessary variety required from the Create-A-Sim feature. The result was the combining of multiple models and the dynamic layering of a number of textures onto a single texture. I was also responsible for the user interface. I was very involved in the design, troubleshooting, creation, implementation and testing of every aspect of the UI, working closely with both the design and programming departments. Additionally, I dealt with object animation which was restricted by the functionality of the original Sims PC engine and managed all game assets.
