While working for Offbeat Media Group, my primary responsibility as a new Unreal Engine Generalist was to create environments that would be later used for future Virtual Influencers to perform in. I had to provide feedback on the art direction as it informs environment development and I made improvements and upgrades to existing environments under the direction of our Art Directors.
