Basically everything. From client acquisition to IT maintenance. I was also modelling, texturing, animating and rendering (my tiny render farm cowboy) in the meantime. I delivered images for various multi million projects like new Leeds trolleybus line, four decommissioned nuclear sites, river Humber gas pipe or the new Manchester tramway line.

I was the only architectural visualiser in the office. I was responsible for all the in-house produced visualisations, animations and photography. I have had to create and maintain the 3d models and texture database. That involved bespoke modelling of elements like furniture, light fixtures, door and bathroom fittings and creating textures and shaders to match materials chosen by the designers. I also liaised when it came to exchanging 3d information in formats other than Revit e.g. 3d printing.

My main task was to provide suitable illustration to help designers talk to the client, go through public consultations and planning permission process and in some cases help client to release funds for their projects. As working at the same office with architects and taking part in the design process I have had to be able to create models basing on 'handkerchief sketches' or phone instructions. Remodelling buildings 20 minutes before the competition deadlines happened more than once too. When asked I was also doing minor IT and renderfarm maintenance. I introduced the 3d team to AutoCAD modelling, using xrefs for modelling, 3ds Max DWG linking and network rendering.

I was one of the few 3d graphics in a 500+ strong team of graphics, editors and writers preparing Universal Curriculum e-learninig platform. My main task was to create animations and illustrations for electronic (on-line and off-line) school books. I had to create a script and storyboard to match editors written description and pre-record voice over. I was responsible for the whole chemistry section for the Malaysia ministry of education project and also dozens of other animations and illustrations mainly in the field of natural sciences like physics, mechanics and astronomy.
