Cat Farinas

Here are some materials I created for my senior Thesis, Shoot to Kill! Created using the material editor in Unreal Engine 4, the final product can be seen in my portfolio screenshots or the vimeo video here!: https://vimeo.com/215870233

The first material is a hologram material I created from scratch! Featured on the Wanted Board of West Iron.

The second is a collection of signs I hand painted on a base of existing wood and metal from the level!

The second material is an example of the texture blend and vertex paint abilities for the sandstone and brick used in the buildings in West Iron!

The last is a parallax material put on a bumped up plane to create the illusion of depth while saving polys in the dirt!

A herringbone pattern brick material made 100% in Substance Designer! It's completely procedural, and can be edited to have less or more brick showing as needed.

I drew inspiration from Overwatch's Eichenwalde map and wanted to reflect the brick and grass/moss feel that map has!

a stylized and hand painted diorama I made! Reference was gathered, and modeled in Maya and brought into Substance painter for texturing. Then brought into Unreal 4 for materials and rendering!

Screenshots of the new resort area for Flashpoint on planet Copero! 
My primary role as an environment artist on SWTOR is to build the world. In this level I was responsible for set dressing, terrain sculpting, vertex painting, lighting, level polish and optimization!

The goal of the resort was to create a space the felt lived in and created a fancy, upscale looking resort while keeping the themes of a tropical getaway. In this post, i included a park area, back alley market area, resort and the first boss fight arena.

All assets were built by other artists over at CGbot! 
Special thanks to my environment team, Carrie Meade, Jason Moulton, Zachary Schlanger, Colin Wagner and the rest of the SWTOR team!

The goal of the ship assembly room was to create a giant room that showcases the tech cave's scale and size while having a purpose. The top roof doors open as the player comes in, and ships fly in and out of it onto the play space area!
