  I had the pleasure of working on Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered as Art Lead at Stellar Entertainment.
  
  As a team we took the original game and original engine with the aim of bringing it in-line with the art and technical quality of Horizon Forbidden West.
  
  We worked closely with Guerrilla Games, Nixxes and Weasletron to complete this project with each team focusing on different areas.
  
  At Stellar Entertainment we primarily focused on remastering the lighting and ambience, clouds, robots and landscape assets.
  
  My primary role was to Lead the talented team of Stellar artists, of various diciplines, and also worked on reflections and helped with lighting.

  It was an amazing experience seeing how the, beautiful, original game was made, learning their techniques and workflows and helping to improve it with todays technology.
