As a 3D artist for the last 7 years, I have emphasized my work in character development, and specifically in character animation. I was hired in January of 2006 at Ocean Visual FX as a Character Animator and Head of Character Development, which is an open palette for me to expand my artistic talents, learn from great people and contribute to the studios ongoing productions. Recent past studio work includes Character Animation and general 3D duties on the PC game title "Wild Life!", produced by Clear Crown Studios. Recent freelance work includes completed 3D duties on a pre-visual animatic for a new Betty Crocker "Warm Delights" commercial, including camera animation, modeling, lighting and texturing environments, props and the “Warm Delights” packaging.

 

Over the course of my career, I have experience using Lightwave 3D, pmG Messiah, Maya and 3D Max. Due to my diverse technical knowledge of 3D applications, I can learn new software, tools, plug-ins and techniques very quickly and easily. I am a motivated and goal-driven character animator who responds to feedback, and works great with a team. I have also been working diligently at applying the "Principles of Animation" and traditional methods of animation in a 3D environment.

 

The skills I bring to a studio include;

 

Pose to pose and straight ahead character animation

Modeling of characters, architecture, environments, 3D text and props

Character rigging using both forward and inverse kinematics

Development of texture maps for characters, architecture and environments

Development of morph maps, weight maps and displacement maps

Experience with many 3D plug-ins and Lscript

Experience with lighting and particle systems

 

You will find I am a highly motivated and dedicated person with great technical skills. My resume will provide you with details of my recent experience.
