“Peter have been working for Grin during a total of nine years. During that time he ́s worked with many different things and had a number of different positions within the company. Regardless of his main tasks he ́s always maintained a width in what he is doing, and at all times has he aided other artists with directions and feedback in their daily work.The work that Peter have done for Grin can be summarized into three categories.
1. Design
As a designer Peter have been working primarily with image creation for a variety of applications. He has visualized large parts of the content for a number of different games, material which have then been used as a foundation for final production. He have experience creating everything from landscapes to weapons, architecture, vehicles, characters, props, technical schematics and level layouts, as well as paintings in full color of complete environments. He have also been creating images for marketing purposes. One of Peters strongest abilities have been to break down and explain technical contraptions, everything from how a machine works mechanically to in which steps and by which components it can be constructed/broken down into. The main tools Peter have been using are Photoshop as well as regular pens and paper to create illustrations and paintings both analogue and digitally. During the years he have been working with main focus on design he have shown huge improvement of his skills. Peter have also done a few freelance jobs outside the main company activities and gained much appreciation from those, which were also beneficial to the company.
2. Production
As a 3D artist Peter have contributed with a large amount of content for many different projects. Production involves the creation of the final assets used in the games as well as various types of technical setups. He have been working with a focus on environments, and created architecture, landscapes and many types of objects, everything from vehicles to light posts. Many times he have been creating assets using his own illustrations as a foundation. As a 3D artist he have also been working with effects and various kinds of interfaces. Another huge part of the production work have been to create textures for objects, something he have done effectively and exemplary due to his artistic talent. Other techniques involve normal-mapping which are a common thing in modern games, and which he is very experienced with. The main tools for Peters work as a 3D artist have been software for construction of 3D models such as 3D studio MAX, Sketchup, Zbrush and Mudbox. During one period he also worked with creating physical models out of clay, then scanning those models into the computer using 3D digitizing technology.
3. Leadership
During several years Peter have had a role as as leader in his capacity as a senior artist. In practice this involves helping less experienced staff with everything from their personal (professional) development within the company to hands down direction, help and feedback on their daily work, and also to introduce new employees to the work they have been assigned to do. Peter have at many times been a part of analyzing, creating, and distributing assignments for other artists, as well as reviewing the same tasks when completed. Another very important part of his work have been to create and develop foundations for how work is to be done, which not only involves creating visual designs but also technical specifications and explanations for how things are to be done, and arguments for why.”
