  Middle Earth: Shadow of War is a big project with contributions from so many talented individuals across multiple disciplines.

  I’ve been fortunate enough to contribute to the creation of action props, optimization of various assets, & shadow geometry throughout these maps. Working with the game-play team I supported in many collision meshes, the creation of drake mount collision shells, some movement adjustments, & boundary player collision. Working with the Visual Effects team I was able to assist in the integration of weather effects through each of the maps and on many of the buildings throughout the game.
