Royal Caribbean Swash Buckler
Swash Buckler was a 4 player VR Co-op game for Royal Caribbean's cruise ship. It was a 4D experience that involved 4 physicals stations that could be interacted with to propel the story. I worked with a bunch of other artist to bring the environments to life.

Ark Encounter VR Ride
The Truth Traveler was a VR ride made for the Ark Encounter museum in Kentucky. We used Unreal 4 with mix of live-action, pre-rendered footage, and real-time assets. I was tasked with modeling and texturing P.O.D the robot guide and the ship itself. Using a model provided by the client I cut it into planks for a time-lapse of its construction. Additionally I helped out with the interior of the time machine. I modeled the seat and did some of the wall details.

4-H Using AR and Gamification
To celebrate "el Día de Muertos" (Day of the Dead) We created a decorated altar that played animations when you interacted with them. Additionally you could use you camera to take a selfie within the flora arrangement. To save on space I created the tavern environment in blender and rendered a 360 photo to act as the environment map in app white the altar was real-time.

Up Next in Commerce by Salesforce (VR)
Modeled and textured environments for Salesforce's VR training game. I lit the environment for the Canopy and did additional environment work in the treehouse and campsite. We made a simple texture atlas to keep material count as low as possible.
