ABOUT ELIE ROCRAY

I am an advanced lighting artist currently working at Warner Bros Games Montreal where I handle the lighting of the in-game environments while keeping an eye on performance and optimization. • With 20 years of experience in video game production, I know exactly how to meet deadlines and reach milestones. • I’ve held different positions over the years: environment artist, texture artist, and 3D modeler. It made me a versatile artist with a clear understanding of what makes (or breaks!) an excellent asset for a video game. • I had the opportunity to work closely with art directors, programmers, level designers, environment artists and associate producers, which made me fluent in their various languages. • Working on titles and getting to collaborate with so many talented and skilled individuals has helped me acquire valuable technical knowledge and sharpen my decision-making skills.• I’ve also coached junior artists, teaching them best practices and making sure they can hit the floor running. I am the father of a wonderful little girl (who will turn 12 pretty soon.wow!) and spend most of my Saturday mornings taking her either to a flying trapeze class or a ski lesson. I love playing online chess during my commute (winning an average of 3 games out of 5—anyone up for a game?), and I enjoy snowboarding while I dream of a trip in the Austrian alps…
