- Establish 3D look for an unannounced preschool animated series.- Contribute to creative development in notes and brainstorming sessions.- Model, UV, texture, light, and render stylized environments.

• Create low resolution assets, textures, and environments.• Build simple rigs for props.• Creatively solve design problems in a timely and efficient matter for quick turn-around.

- Sculpt high resolution characters and oversee contractor and vendor sculpts to ensure quality.- Review and note all passes for retopology, UV layout, and surfacing via draw-overs, documentation and sync-ups.- Give feedback on expressions, rigging, and lighting passes.- Work closely with Producers and Art Director to ensur3e look and feel of show remains, unifies and on brand.

- Oversee the creation of all 3D assets, including characters, environments, and props, from previs through rigging.- Manage a team of up to 8 artists, tasking and noting all assets in Shotgun, and QCing all files.- Ensure the handoff of data to and from contractors and outsourcers is supported and respond to any requests and notes from vendors.- Work closely with directors and production staff to properly scope the project, and to adjust creative to match realistic goal sets.- Provide guidance to artists and establish efficient strategies while developing the asset pipeline and workflow.- Create hero assets and sets in maya and Zbrush, texture in Substance Painter, and create shader networks for rendering with Redshift.- Recruiting and hiring of modelers, texture artists, lighters.

-Create models, UVs, textures, and shaders for characters, environments, and props-Look development for real time and offline rendering-Sculpt blend shapes-Evaluate and plus-up models and textures submitted by subcontractors-Define and optimize pipeline and workflow for emergent production technology -Liaise between Production, Art, and Engineering-Provide technical and artistic expertise during the creation and development phase of pre-production-Build out show schedules from greenlight through delivery

I work side by side with some of the most talented character artists, bringing their creations into 3D. I block in, sculpt, texture, rig, and create facial blend shapes. I also implement those characters into Unity to be used in our application. Additionally, I’m responsible for all environment and prop models and textures, and build out node-based shader graphs for use in Unity 2019.
