Call of Duty - MW3 | Sledgehammer Games | Lead Technical Artist | 2023

On Modern Warfare III, I led the Character & Weapon Tech Art teams at Sledgehammer Games. Supporting a high-volume AAA character & weapon pipeline. Where quality, speed, and performance all have to land at the same time.

In addition to day-to-day production leadership, I also pushed forward ML research for auto-skinning as an exploration into faster, more consistent character deformation workflows.

Key Contributions

  • Led the Character & Weapon Tech Art teams; trained and managed internal and outsource artists.
  • Developed and maintained modeling, rigging, and animation workflows to support large-scale production.
  • Created proprietary tools for animation, rigging, game preview, and cloth simulation to improve iteration speed and reliability.
  • Skinned high-fidelity characters, including celebrity likenesses (including Snoop Dogg!).
  • Balanced and optimized character assets for in-engine performance while protecting deformation quality.
