Microsoft Mesh Avatars

Some of the work I contributed to during my time at Microsoft working on Mesh Avatars. As a character artist, my responsibilities included creating clothing and other avatar customization items, skinning/weight painting, and engine integration ensuring their maintained functionality at the target spec. Joining the team of artists, designers, and engineers early in the process, I had the opportunity to contribute to the template systems and pipeline that informed the asset creation guidelines and work with outsourcing partners providing feedback and approvals. Overall it was a great opportunity and learning experience!
