Thomas has created a procedural toolset that allows him to generate block out worlds procedurally.
In this session, Thomas Tobin, Lead Technical Artist at Rainbow Studios, covers creating a framework for efficient asset creation and best practices, allowing an art team to prototype significant scale levels that appear as finished worlds rapidly. Thomas will highlight the key workflows to increase the quality level dramatically with minimal effort.
