Lead Modeler
Ares Security Corporation
Albuquerque, New Mexico Area
My tasks included making 3d artwork assets with quick turn around times, and working to ensure model building processes were developed and maintained. I met with skilled professionals in the fields of DoE, DoD, Port Authority, Commercial Nuclear, international interests to acquire the physical site information I needed to then make a 3D model version of a real-world site. I also created 3D assets that populated that site, ensured the model met design, software, and customer specifications. This included raw data collection, conceptualizing 'areas of interest' and modeling it in appropriate fidelity, UV mapping, texturing, and occasionally animation for promotional and informative presentations. I would organize meetings with customers to ensure we are on track for project completion, document customer interactions to provide upper management the data they need to track model development. I would frequently work closely with the software development team, providing feedback and cataloging bugs when appropriate. I would also work with analysts to ensure the model met internal software expectations.
