hello Chris I'm looking for a long long time.
A few years ago I worked with the Creative Director of the LOTR series (responsible for the overall visual and motion design of the
Battle Middle Earth user experience; I guess he works for E.A.). I think he can help you in solving problems on AIData & modules, Global Tuning Paramaters, and of course, help you how to achieve improvements visual design, efx and animations. If you are interested you can mail me: tylerdarden78@tiscali.it.
see you.
