-Summer 2002-

Having a very proficient knowledge of the major 3D packages and the sub-skill-

sets; Digital Modelling, Animation, Texturing, VFX, Rigging and Rendering. I have

been using 3Ds max for 7 years so I feel that I have a pretty competent CG

generalist with modelling and texturing being my best competence. I believe my

strongest ability is to Draw and Paint, I’m highly creative with a strong knowledge

of Environmental spaces, Anatomy, Colour theory and good eye for detail. I have

always been strong 2D-wise but I believe my time spent training in Matt painting

with FramestoreCFC has expanded my ability exponentially.
