• Create benchmark environment assets, 3D block-outs, modular architectural sets, lighting setups, paintovers, and orthographics to set the visual quality bar for the project.
• Draft comprehensive environment design briefs, style guides, and architecture breakdown documents that clearly define rendering techniques, lighting, and shape language.
• Establish and maintain project design boards using digital whiteboarding platforms such as FigJam or Miro to streamline the review pipeline and support cross-discipline alignment.
