He continued to document and create tutorials for the art team and company pertaining to Havok Cloth, Havok HBT, R&#038;D on\u00a0 environmental and vehicle destruction and building material systems. Throughout development, he would continue to directly implement assets into the game and work directly with concept artists and designers in the creation, preplanning and execution of new map levels. Steve continued to investigate other pipelines for future monetization opportunities for Infinite Crisis by weighting equipment, creating hats and investigating the process for incorporating couriers into Team Fortress and DOTA 2.\u00a0 For possible Mobile considerations he investigated and documenting the process for mobile development, with a focus on maintaining the existing pipeline so that minimal changes would be needed. He led the team on Android development using Infinite Crisis assets across a variety of different material shaders; reviewing PBR, RTT and current texture methods for best practices and performance on different mid to low end tablet devices to get a decent cross section of what min spec systems to focus on under his own initiative.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #af9d75;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Georgia','serif';\">Getting back to his production roots, Steve accepted a position as Senior Environment Artist at Proletariat.
