My Duties at Hayes Davidson have involved the management of projects including Liaising with clients and interpreting plans from within Auto-CAD Modelling the scheme's from Auto-CAD plans using 3DS MAX Texturing, Lighting and composition set-ups Photo-realistic rendering and photo-montage View verification from survey data for planning and marketing purposes Photographic Retouching Co-operation with team members on both still and animated sequences Working in architectural visualisation, one of the main skills is communication. Communication with the client is key to understanding the scheme and choosing the correct composition and treatment to sell their ideas. But also communication with fellow team members is crucial to aid the smooth running of the project. During my time at Hayes Davidson I have also had the privilege to work on numerous iconic buildings working with renowned architectural practices.

Worked in house at a London based architectural practice called RTKL. I worked alongside their existing in house visualisation team, and this gave me the first hand experience of working in a large and busy architectural practice.

My duties required knowledge and experience in a wide variety of disciplines. Modelling - Required to design and build many of the environments in the game, as well as many in game objects and a small amount of character work. Texturing ­ - This included both UV unwrapping geometry and designing/painting the texture maps. Lighting ­ - Design and implementation of vertex and dynamic lighting with regards to real time rendered environments. Currently take credit to two published games: Zapper (2002) Bad Boys 2 (2004) Games development requires a large team effort, often requiring much liaising with numerous members of the team. A good team spirit was required with good social skills, and an ability to effectively illustrate points to others both verbally and visually .
