Commissioned to create two larger scale hard surface assets for an unannounced game project. Was responsible for conceptualizing those assets to fit within the game's art direction and then taking those designs to high poly, textured low poly, and finally, full asset integration into Unreal 5. Coordinated with design to assure assets met the game metrics for player use/traversal/interaction.

Redwood City, Ca, Us

Coordinated hard-surface, weapon, and vehicle efforts across multiple studios within the Battlefield franchise. Identified hard-surface needs for campaign and worked closely with design to call out priorities and game-play needs. Created asset lists and projected time estimates for production planning and backlogs. Collaborated with sister studios to find solutions to use all assets economically across the different game-modes, taking performance and technical limitations into account.

Middleton, Wisconsin, Us

Responsible for a team of 5 artists, ranging from junior to expert level. Coordinated hard-surface and vehicle efforts across multiple studios within Activision. Effectively managed artists across the premium campaign and Warzone projects. Coordinated across multiple disciplines to make sure assets were handed off properly and the pipeline flowed smoothly. Worked heavily with production to identify asset needs and plan my team's workload. Was constantly implementing opportunities for artist growth and development on my team.

Middleton, Wisconsin, Us

Responsible for the creation of multiple AAA hero assets ranging from in-game and cinematic quality vehicles to first person equipment and gadgets. Created concept work for many of those assets, to include a vehicle and other equipment. Coordinated effectively across disciplines to hand-off work and followed-up to make sure the final asset met/exceeded the quality expected.

Middleton, Wisconsin, Us

Create next-gen assets (vehicles, props) for the Call of Duty franchise. Concept various assets for SP (Single Player) and MP (Multi-Player) and took those concepts to textured in-game assets. Worked effectively with animation, engineering, concept, and design to deliver assets in the most efficient way possible. Able to work with minimal direction to build models and textures. Utilize Physically Based Rendering (PBR) workflow to create materials that meet or exceed the quality demanded of a AAA title.

Middleton, Wisconsin, Us

Responsible for creating high quality 3D assets and materials for current and next-gen platforms. Worked within Radiant engine to help build and optimize single player environments, and setting up props/models along with corresponding materials for use within Radiant. Coordinated with design, animation, engineering, and other departments to make sure the assets I created worked within the aesthetics, game-play design, and animation needs of the levels. Researched and crafted solutions for various artistic and technical roadblocks. Responsible for fixing bugs within Radiant and maintaining a strict level of quality and performance. Assisted other teams with modeling and texturing needs as well as bug fixing.

Responsible for modeling high and low poly level assets for the game "Anomalous". Also performed texturing and shader creation in UDK (Unreal Development Kit). Reviewed and approved assets created by other environmental artists before being implemented in game. Provide mentoring and assistance to other environmental artists. Inventoried and took existing assets and brought them up to the level of quality desired by lead by means of optimization, adding geometry, and material creation.

Dallas, Texas, Us

Art Creation student focusing on high and low poly hard surface 3D modeling for video games. Studied various game engines including UDK and CryENGINE 3, refined workflow for importing and creating materials for game assets. Created three student team games (one 2D game, and two 3D games) while working closely with the level design and programming disciplines.

San Francisco, California, Us

Working as a 3D modeler on "Castleville". Create 3D assets for props and decorations based off on provided concept artwork. Texture and render assets using proprietary tools to create 2D assets of 3D models. Work closely with animators to prepare 2D characters for animation.

I handled the 360/720hour PMI (phase) inspections, a detailed inspection of the helicopter and which involves disassembling a majority of the aircraft, inspecting components, repairing/replacing components, and reassembly of the aircraft.. I reported the status of the team's progress to our supervisor, checked on the status of ordered parts, filed necessary paperwork for tracked components and inspections completed, and supervised/trained junior mehcanics on maintenance procedures. At the completion of the inspection I assisted the maintenance test pilots with maintenance test flights, ground runs, maintenance operational checks, and rotor tuning before releasing the aircraft back to flight status. I was also a crewchief and performed scheduled inspections and unscheduled maintenance for the flyable aircraft in our fleet. This also entailed being on flight status and maintaining flying currency in the aircraft, weapon systems, aeromedical properties, and night-vision devices.

4th dimension Development Studios is a team started back when I first started pursuing a career in game development (circa 1997). The name has stuck since and I've used it as the team name for the games my team has worked on, Flowers of Doom: Planting the Seeds and Golf Car Rally (currently in development). A previous game 4th dimension has completed was a remake of Space Invaders called, ironically, Space Unvaders. 4th dimension is devoted to creating unique games with graphical flare and compelling gameplay. As we continue to build our library of games, our experience grows and who knows...Maybe someday I'll be able to pay these guys and gals :)
