Gears 4 & 5

Centerpiece facade in the center of MP map Asylum. Blocked out in unreal, exported to modo, and painted over in Photoshop.

Asylum was basically a courtyard in the center of a single building, so this shot was to describe that general architecture.

Once a library of props are built up it's super easy to design things in Unreal to get 80% there. On the left is an example of a paintover, and the right was distant enough geo that didn't require any paintover design.

Security exterior and interior paintovers.

Unique cover prop for Security.

Gears 5 map Museum centerpiece. This was a complicated set piece that included a triggerable laser trap that I worked closely with design on.

Gem display case that was located on the previous bridge.

Modular props that had to be reused throughout Museum. The display case had to be fit to a huge assortment of cover shapes if needed.

Gears 4 cover props for all maps. I had initially blocked all of these in with the intention of finishing maybe 2, but we decided to just use all of them!

An example of how the cover props can combine to create a larger piece for the design team to use.

Harbour needed a modular railing that could be used throughout the entire map.
