Hey all,
My professional background is in drafting, infrastructure design and management. About 3 years ago, for various reasons I gave all of that up and went back to school to develop long forgotten skills in photography and art.
I started out in a Multimedia program planning to focus on 3D, but after the signature was on the line, the school eliminated the 3D program so I was stuck with choosing another path in the field, which was general multimedia principles. It was a bore and came far too easiliy for me so I chose to learn 3D on my own along side of the schooling.
Currently I am a independant student focusing on various aspects of production art for filmā¦ learning alot in a vacuum with guidance from a few industry folk, a few communities such as CGTalk and the Pixel Corps. I run a private inn (on the weekends) at a major university and do little design jobs here and there to keep above water and in the new tools I need.
I know only two things:
1.) Thereās alot to learn.
2.) I can do it.
Primary Focus: 3D Lighting, Shading & Rendering
Secondary Focus: Texturing, Matte Painting & Compositing
Tool Focus: XSI/Mental Ray and Photoshop
