*Environmental modeling/texturing, environmental lightingI have been brought on board at Specular Interactive to create assets for props and levels for an upcoming title. The demands are huge, but that is the way I like it. :) **UPDATED**Still working at Specular and having a good run.**UPDATED**I'm now a lead artist/Art director! Someone out there likes me.

*Environmental modeling/texturing, environmental lighting, technical problem solving.During this period, EA contracted most of Savage Entertainment employees to work on-site on MOH: Rising Sun and Goldeneye : Rogue Agent. I worked on Goldeneye: Rogue Agent as a 3d artist, where I modeled/textured environments, set up simple streaming and design nodes, assisted the lighting team occassionally, and implemented environmental FX.I quickly learned some of the quirks of EA's game engine, EAGL. By some strange twist of fate, I fell into the position of EAGL 'go to' guy for many of the artists and designers at EA. I was given a S.P.E.C.T.R.E. ring, the project's equivalent to employee of the month.

*3d character modeling/texturing, character animation, rigging, educational/scientific art, web content.This job was a freelance job I took for a few weeks. It involved modeling and animating an oviraptor laying eggs for DNA Studio's Jurassic Park Institute.
