I was one of the Scene Composition artists in Forza Horizon 5. Behind these screenshots there are so many talented people who are part of our wonderful team, and it's been a fantastic experience to work alongside them on my first game title.
I spent a great deal of time in Guanajuato, having participated in all stages of production and polish. I also had the opportunity to work on managing the planning of the area for the set dressing stage.
The work I did in the area includes:
- Helping with whiteboxing of buildings and plots;
- Planning, costing and making maps;
- Foliage placement such as trees and bushes;
- Barrier placement such as walls and fences;
- Adding props, buildings and set dressing.
I also helped prep the area for the video seen at E3, following reference of the real Guanajuato very closely.
