This Project was extremely fun to work on, definitely a change for me. I was assigned with creating matte paintings, texturing of the car and signs. It was fun to take a break from modeling and focus on just texturing in Photoshop as opposed to modeling characters. Some of the original road signs designed were very elaborate adding a very individualistic look to each terrain ( Rain, Snow, etc) the wiper blades encountered, unfortunately though the client preferred road sings that were a tad bit more relatable to the everyday driver.
