At ILM I’m the primary developer for Generalist department. I’m located in the San Francisco office, but I meet the development needs of a department reaching about 250+ artists in San Francisco, Vancouver, and Singapore. I’ve built up an asset pipeline from scratch that ties into the existing pipeline of the greater company with minimal impact on the way the Generalists prefer to work, which is very different from the other departments. The biggest thing that separates this department from the rest is that we’re on Windows while all others are on Linux, and we’re using 3dsmax as our primary application. I’ve been able to set up an array of asset tools for publishing, and importing with all manner of different options that allow us to share work between departments. Generalists can create an asset and publish it over to Maya, Zeno, or Unreal, and likewise we can ingest assets created in those other applications. We’ve also developed in-house scene description frame works that allow us to publish entire scenes including all assets, particles systems, and lighting back and forth between packages. And so much more...
