On Forza Horizon 6 I had the opportunity to lead one of the Assets and Outsourcing Teams, which is part of the Environment Art Team at Playground Games. I was jointly responsible with Simon Hughes for the creation and visual quality of man-made Assets in the environment which are not the roads, including Buildings, Modular Buildings, Bridges and Tunnels, Props and much more. I’m really excited to be sharing some of the incredible work we’ve managed to achieve together on the Assets Team.

Some of my responsibilities for Forza Horizon 6 were: managing an internal team of Assets Artists and their schedule, developing and guiding the workflows for assets creation and ensuring the highest quality for all assets. Alongside this I also managed the work that we sent to our Outsource Partners and supported them throughout production to realise the vision of the Art Directors.

Within this post is a collection of the work that I was responsible for and contributed to. Below are the members of my team and OS partners during the project. As with anything this project was highly collaborative with lots of support in many areas so thanks to all who worked on Forza Horizon 6!
