Heavy Metal : Terrain Shaping Prototype is a client project at the ETC.  In this project we are developing a 3D visualization system to work with Caterpillar’s remote and autonomous control systems for their heavy equipment.  This also includes developing a graphical user interface and preparing a cost-benefit analysis of different game engine platforms that could be used in future projects.

In my capacity as Producer I am responsible for the following:

  • Client coordination
  • Implementing a production schedule and methodology
  • Managing the tasks of my team members
  • Ensuring that deadlines, both internal and external, are met

In addition to these responsibilities, I will be taking on the bulk of the cost-benefit analysis task. This will include, performing the necessary research, working with the vendors to get pricing and other technical information and preparation of the overall document.  I will also incorporate any technical input as necessary from my other team members.
