New 2018 samples focusing on lighting and technical Illustrations, Service manual Images and structure Available for new projects, onsite mentoring, full-time, part-time, remote projects or ?. TESLA, Fremont, CA January 5, 2017 – October 31, 2017 CAD Production Technical Illustrator

Designed and implemented workflow improvements to meet goals for Model 3 service and parts manuals:

• Architected and maintained CAD models (using source data from Catia).

• Built system to manage customer requests and fulfillment using JIRA.

• Designed and specified file server for CAD file sharing (RAID, fiber 10Gbs network, remote desktop access).

• Produced, conservatively, 10x more usable illustrations in the same time as the old workflow.

• Exceeded customer expectations for style, accuracy, and speed.

• Achieved production of 800 images in 2 months towards the Model 3 Service Manual

• Trained other illustrators on the new system in less than a week Images above were created for the service manual from Catia engineering data. 5% Photoshop retouching used.

The Initial request was to produce over 1300 images for the Model 3 service manual. The existing workflow delivered images at an average rate of less than 3 images per day. The estimated time to deliver all requested images would be about 1.6 years in person-hours.

Using my new workflow, we delivered all requested images in about 3 months of man hours. My final, improved workflow consistently delivers images at a rate of over 24 images per day. Peak days exceed 40 images produced, and rework is extremely low. I easily trained other illustrators on the new system, and they also produce these results.

Because of the efficiency of my new workflow, resources allowed for expanding the illustration requests to support new features for the manuals:

• Full graphical drill-down using splash images for each level

• Splash images that support reuse for training, parts, and reference manuals

• 2K and 4K images that support VR, AR, and voice-over walkthroughs

• Wow-effect to encourage use of the manuals

• Unique systems graphically explained for first-time users

• Inline images of special tools and bolts in procedures DTWICK, Wichita, KS April 2012 – January 2017

3D CAD Technical Illustrations / 3D CAD Cutaways / 3D CAD Art from Catia and other engineering programs Developed website to cater to small companies during slowdowns to help with their projects on a part-time basis. Developed new process for fast mockup of a CAD model combining new surfaces with exist engineering surfaces to create high quality presentation model which can be imported directly into an engineering program.

Global Interactive Review

Responsibilities included quality control of the 2013 Ford Global Car (PDM) Portable Data Models construction, final approval, and delivery to the Ford representative. I achieved lowest turn round average in deliveries and received a positive written recommendation from the Ford quality control representative. http://www.dtwick.com/automation/fordmustangautomation.html BOMBARDIER / LEARJET, Wichita, KS December 2006 – November 2010 Senior 3D Aircraft Artist / Lean Digital Automation Specialists / Business Analyst (Contract) Customer Giveaways and Hanging 3D Art on site

• When customers came in for their deliveries, they would ask for the renderings off of the wall. https://www.behance.net/gallery/7467227/3D-Aircraft-Illustration-Art-Hanging

• Renderings with customers paint scheme over their city. https://www.behance.net/gallery/7466983/3D-Aircraft-Illustrations-Art-for-Customer Design Development Learjet 85

• Link shows Learjet 85 design development renderings for NBAA. The designer concept was to show the interior as shades of grey to appeals to as wide of customer base as possible. http://www.dtwick.com/development/designdevinterior.html

• This link shows the original concept loft rendering created in 2007 along with the state of the design in 2010. http://www.dtwick.com/development/designdevexterior.html

• During the design development customers pilots wanted to see the cockpit. Cockpit assembly comes form several different suppliers and CAD formats.

• Developed the ability onsite to complete multiple thirty-minute draft renderings in a four-hour specifications session with the ability to switch seats show options, globally change veneers and materials to show the customer his renderings choices. This was followed by a better quality rendering a week later in a sample confirmation package, note quality of the veneer, all materials on site were converted to digital to eliminate scanning time.

• Customers would not sign off on materials to get their aircraft built without seeing an artist rendering of their choices first. Learjet no longer had an artist on site, a weeklong visit was suggested as a consultant to evaluate the current environment and make recommendations. During the visit a PowerPoint was created with input gathered from stakeholders to move forward, the link below has a couple of those slides. Six weeks later, the position was finalized. The position lasted for four years. https://www.behance.net/gallery/7482297/Business-Analyst-3D-Aircraft-Build-CGI-Ability-2006 Production Aircraft M45 and M60

• Stylized interior renderings per designers requirements and lighting conditions. http://www.dtwick.com/production/productioninteriors.html

• The engineering data was not reduced or simplified to the normal polygon workflow, instead the engineering data used at full tolerance to achieve very accurate side views. This allowed the designer to aware of openings and parts that were not painted, avoiding future maintenance issues. http://www.dtwick.com/production/productionexteriors.html

• Backdrops for digital customer workbooks, using the cad data eliminated manually intensive 2d illustrations. https://www.behance.net/gallery/7467131/3D-Aircraft-Illustrations-Workbooks-Styles https://www.behance.net/gallery/7466715/3D-Aircraft-Cutaway-Art-Illustrations FREELANCE. Oxford, MI June 2004 – November 2006

Graphics Specialists / 3D Consultant “Engineering to Final Art” Developed workflow processes using Maya for Brochure Quality Images for BBDO In this plan, the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) save money and the agency adds additional service capabilities.

Created a presentation for Dodge truck in regards to a new workflow for a CGI rendering process, demonstrated renderings to Ford for the 2007 concept Cougar, and created work for BBDO advertising that appeared in the 2007 Jeep brochures as the featured center spread phantom views.

• Created the LDM3 Workflow Business Analyst workflow, titled “Live Digital Master Math Model” automation of the future creative digital workflow as an alternative that kept the data in house for security reasons. https://www.behance.net/gallery/7482623/Business-Analyst-Alt-CGI-Rendering-Process-2005

• Ford management wanted to see the progress of the 2007 Lincoln and 2007 Cougar. When the renderings were shown the 2007 cougar was abandoned. This project demonstrated the need to have renderings produced during the development process for management oversight. https://www.behance.net/gallery/7494599/3D-Automotive-Real-Time-Visualization-ICEM-2004

• Using Icem, created real-time renderings of the manufacturing math data to create 90% photo realistic images for a photo artist to finish.
