Army Service

In Finland, every man is required to complete military service. Because of my education, I worked as a virtual trainer with the army combat simulators during my service. This involved developing and hosting combat simulation exercises for other conscripts, modeling military equipment in tandem with other virtual trainers across Finland, and servicing the base's simulators and hardware.​

Key outcomes:

Because of the nature of my work in the army, the only work I can show are some of my 3D models.

​

• Level design - creating and designing specific combat scenarios for different companies on the base. This involved planning how the conscripts would face enemy attacks, their defensive positions, and their mobility in the terrain.

  • Example: Leveled convey defense with landmines

• Environment design - creating realistic environments for combat scenarios

  • Example: Creating urban areas for combat around buildings

• Live balancing and QA - adjusting scenarios live in difficulty while conscripts are completing them to make the practice meaningful and ensuring they train the correct actions

• ​Managing sessions with up to 50 participants​
