We created several environments using CryEngine and were able to introduce architects to a brand new level of interactivity.  For the first time they were able to see their designs in real time and on site.  Opinions on design could easily be made as they saw different proportions, perspectives, and skylines.  This dramatically helped architects communicate with clients as they were able to tour clients through spaces and demonstrate their design beyond explanations and static renderings.

As the technical artist, my main priorities were maintaining proportions and assets as they were brought in from the SketchUpm, into 3D software, and finally into the game engine.  I was also integral in taking advantage of the engine’s capabilities and implementing assets such as driveable cars and scripting.

I had the pleasure to work on several projects while I was at Liquid Development in Portland, OR.   After some various tasks I was lucky enought to step onto the effects team and learned how to work SFX in the amazing Unreal 3 Engine with their tool Cascade.  Cascade was great to work with because of its similarities to 3D packages such as Maya.  Pretty soon I was making explosions, impacts, and water effects for projects such as Damanation and Borderlands.

Currently in my reel I have a fight scene that I animated for a short film that we were producing. It features the genetically altered and technologically enhanced brute, the Pneumatic Soldier against several disease ridden mutated monsters known as the Wretched.
