I want nothing more than to work in 3D. Currently working as a Synthetic Environment Developer at Collins Aerospace has given me a keen insight to Synthetic Environments for simulators. I feel priveleged to be able to apply my games industry skills into simulation. I have worked at Collins over 2 years and have thoroughly enjoyed and feel motivated to work everyday. Also, I am a Masters Graduate At Teesside University studying Computer Games Development.
Considering myself as an artist broaching the areas of traditional and digital art, I enjoy all kinds of themes and genre of games or movies. I tend to try to be as original as possible when creating concept art and 3D models, even if it’s a bit unusual. All forms of weapons, and particularly guns, appeal to me.
My previous study has been creating a realistic game environments as well as a convincing water shader within the Unreal Engine 4 and a study on how metal is affected by salt water. Other areas of interest involve looking into 3D work on trees and other plant life.
