Professional Work Coventry ACT-UK Simulation Centre
Virtual environments created for the £8.7M ACT-UK Simulation Centre to transform the UK construction industry. One of the first major projects that helped Makemedia break into the educational simulation industry.
Working within a four-person team with diverse skill sets, we created five stages of construction development, from excavation and foundations through to fully finished homes. My role first focused on reviewing large volumes of reference material to accurately model assets in 3ds Max and create terrain textures using Cinema 4D, BodyPaint and ZBrush. I produced diffuse, specular and normal maps, and supplied textures for other team members, including an architectural consultant.
Accuracy was critical, with brick sizes, measurements and trench shapes needing to match real-world references. After setting the visual benchmark, I focused on scheduling, workflow strategy, assembling in-engine scenes and improving pipelines for better team cohesion and delivery.
The project won a Presagis Best Visualisation Award, helping establish Makemedia, later Make Real, in the industry.

Some footage taken with a mobile phone while company director stands in the foreground moving around the location. Best way to give the sense of size and the challenge to keep textures especially sharp. Although the footage isn't great at seeing the results the team achieved.
