Gears 5 Escape : Barracks

This is a collection of barracks escape tiles I worked on, escape was an interesting challenge due to such stringent performance requirements and the desire to keep all tiles consistent yet recognisable.
-
The First tile shown (Conservatory) was one of the hero tiles and I had Tibor Toth working alongside me, this tile was meant to be instantly recognisable at great distance and as such we had a bit more creative freedom on the lighting side.
-
The second tile (Grand Stairway) was one of the high re use tiles and had two meshing options allowing reuse of the tile without repetition. I was the sole world builder on this tile until bug fixing where Matthew Macer helped allowing me to partially move onto one of the MP maps.
-
Responsibilities included:
World building from initial blocking in and iteration to finalisation and bug fixing.
Creation of architectural elements and simple props using existing materials.
