RAD Environment Team, The Order: 1886 Art Dump
Hello Polycount!
Ready At Dawn Studios released The Order: 1886 a few weeks ago and we thought that now would be a great time for us environment artists to start showing off some of our hard work. A big thanks to Lead Environment Artist Anthony Vitale and Art Director Nathan Phail-Liff for their help, critique and encouragement through this process. This has been an awesome project for us all to push the boundaries of what we can do as game artists. Couldn't have asked for a better, more innovative, creative group of artists to work with.
Keep an eye out for Tony's forthcoming tutorial on our Overlap Sculpting process, a staple in our texturing pipeline.
Enjoy!

Environment Texture Artist, Ready At Dawn Studios
As an Environment Texture Artist working on The Order: 1886, I was responsible for the creation/selection of materials used in the United India Company exterior, Hospital Lobby, and Tesla's Lab. The images below are a few of my favorite material creations, the ones that I am the most proud of. Some of them are used directly in a level and some of the studies are part of a common library of materials that we all draw from.

Most concepts were from Brandon Bien, Mike Sekowsky, and Joe studzinski (hopefully not missing anyone here...)

To reach the quality expected by the art director the production was break down in multiple teams with their own specialty and make those images the work of multiple persons.
1st I have to call out my Lead Anthony Vitale, a very technical guy and a great artist too (something you don't see everywhere), who established some great pipelines for multiple departments.
Then thanks to Technical artists Brett Dixon and Joe Ferfecki for making those tools.
In some area especially for the E3 levels other environment artists helped:
David Budlong, Edgar Martinez, Nestor Carpintero and James Rosenkranz
The textures/materials was done by a separate team.
Megan Parks was in charge of making / assigning / layer blending / optimizing most of the material of the whitechapel maps.
Some materials used too have been made by the rest of the textures team for some elements ( Erin McKown, holly Wilson, Alberto Rodriguez, Bobby Rice and Hugo Beyer).
As for the lighting it was done by : Paul Gimm , Huan Tran and Nathan Phail-Liff
The Fx were created and placed by the FX team:
Sabra Goebel, Orson Favrel, Eric Cloutier and Brian Merril.
The far Vista area was the work of:
Brandon bien, Ethan Ayer and Martin Bergstrom.
The prop team made tons of objects and material:
Jo Watanabe, Juan Hinojosa, Brandi Parish, Scot anderson, james tran, Arin Robinson and Derek Hise.
Great support from the concept team and the art director with drawings and a tons of photo references. : Nathan Phail-Liff, Joe Studzinski, Mike Sekowski, Brandon Bien, Steven Wen and Tobi Kwan.
Thanks to Heather Howard, Mark Judkins and Lucas Sparks for the support on visibility and collision.
Play the game to have a real feeling of my work and see the rest of my talented colleagues levels.

Exceptional work all of you! Y'all deserve double your salaries! :P
My work at Ready at Dawn for The Order:1886 consisted of Prop Artist and also as an Internal Outsource Artist.
As a Prop Artist I created Low poly, High poly, UV maps and Bakes on all of the props below.You can view the final in-game assets at https://www.artstation.com/artist/juanderbread or http://juanderbread.carbonmade.com/
As an Internal Outsource Artist, I would review incoming Outsource assets for quality to ensure it met all visual and technical requirements.
I also ended up doing a lot of optimization and integrating the assets into our game engine.
I worked on the levels prototype, all architecture and furniture assets, lab equipment, inventions, and set dressing.

There's.. so much work here.
too beautiful...
Great work!!
great work to everyone, your hard work really shows.
Also this art dump is so good i don't think my brain realize it's awesomeness yet.
Awesome job!
Thank you for sharing this, it is awesome that we can see how you made it.
So inspiring and depressing at the same time! thanks
I hope you'll release a talk about the material pipeline that is more art-centric, the ones you had were quite technical. I especially wonder how you went about painting the mask while having a quick turnaround/real time preview at the same time.
This is just insane guys! Thanks so much for sharing! Makes me feel like a total noob!
