Forrest was responsible for much of the environmental art you saw during the campaign\u2026 and he\u2019s working on some spectacular new things now that we can\u2019t wait to share with you! You\u2019ll be able to meet Forrest this Friday, live on Wingman\u2019s Hangar (11 AM CST.)\n\nHow did you get started in the game industry?\nI started by working in architecture converting CAD plans into 3D scenes. Then created materials, lighting and rendered out fully 3D renderings. This lead to a career change as a game artist doing environment art. Were you familiar with Chris Roberts\u2019 games before Star Citizen?\nI was, being a fan of the Wing Commander series when I was younger. I was a big PC gamer, so each game in the franchise was a must have for me. What will you be doing for Cloud Imperium?\nI will be concentrating on the technical art aspects throughout the development of the project. Being a Technical Artist on Star Citizen\/Squadron 42 what are some of the exciting elements of development?\nBy far working with CryEngine 3. It has allowed us to create gameplay elements never thought possible over a decade ago. Graphically, we have been able to push modern hardware and have had incredible results. When the crowdfunding trailer first launched it was a lot of fun reading people\u2019s debates on whether or not the cinematic was in-game\u2026 when it was all captured in the game! What are you most excited to see in Star Citizen\/Squadron 42?\nI am most excited to see PVP dogfighting in space\u2026 in an asteroid field\u2026 in stereoscopic 3D! What are you playing right now?\nWhen I find the time I\u2019ve been playing Borderlands 2 and Mass Effect 3.

Forrest war f\u00fcr einen Gro\u00dfteil der Umweltkunst verantwortlich, die Sie w\u00e4hrend der Kampagne gesehen haben.... und er arbeitet an einigen spektakul\u00e4ren neuen Dingen, die wir nicht erwarten k\u00f6nnen, mit Ihnen zu teilen! Du wirst Forrest diesen Freitag treffen k\u00f6nnen, live im Hangar von Wingman (11 AM CST.).\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWie bist du in der Spieleindustrie gestartet?\n\nIch habe zun\u00e4chst in der Architektur gearbeitet und CAD-Pl\u00e4ne in 3D-Szenen umgewandelt. Anschlie\u00dfend wurden Materialien, Beleuchtung und vollst\u00e4ndige 3D-Renderings erstellt. Dies f\u00fchrte zu einem Karrierewandel als Spielk\u00fcnstler f\u00fcr Umweltkunst.\n\n\nWarst du mit Chris Roberts' Spielen vor Star Citizen vertraut?\n\nIch war, als ich j\u00fcnger war, ein Fan der Wing Commander Serie. Ich war ein gro\u00dfer PC-Gamer, also war jedes Spiel in der Franchise ein Muss f\u00fcr mich.\n\n\nWas werden Sie f\u00fcr Cloud Imperium tun?\n\nIch werde mich bei der Entwicklung des Projekts auf die technischen Aspekte der Kunst konzentrieren.\n\n\nAls technischer K\u00fcnstler auf Star Citizen\/Squadron 42, was sind einige der spannenden Elemente der Entwicklung?\n\nBei weitem die Arbeit mit CryEngine 3. Es hat uns erm\u00f6glicht, Gameplay-Elemente zu entwickeln, die vor \u00fcber einem Jahrzehnt noch nie f\u00fcr m\u00f6glich gehalten wurden. Grafisch gesehen waren wir in der Lage, moderne Hardware zu entwickeln und hatten unglaubliche Ergebnisse. Als der Crowdfunding-Trailer zum ersten Mal auf den Markt kam, war es eine Menge Spa\u00df, die Debatten der Leute dar\u00fcber zu lesen, ob der Film im Spiel war oder nicht.... als alles im Spiel eingefangen wurde!\n\n\nWas freut dich am meisten in Star Citizen\/Squadron 42 zu sehen?\n\nIch freue mich sehr, PVP Dogfighting im Weltraum zu sehen.... in einem Asteroidenfeld.... in stereoskopischem 3D!\n\n\nWas spielst du gerade?\n\nWenn ich die Zeit finde, spiele ich Borderlands 2 und Mass Effect 3.\n\n\nB\u00fcrgerkarten\nDenken Sie daran: Dieser Freitag, der 15.
