About
I'm a 3D artist and modeler with professional roots in the game industry. I started as a 3D Animator at Dynamix (Sierra) in the late 90s, shipping titles like Trophy Bass 3D and 3D Ultra Minigolf Deluxe, working with motion capture, character animation, and 3D Studio Max.
Today I work in Blender, building production-ready 3D assets: hard-surface and organic modeling, character rigs, UV mapping, and clean topology optimized for real-time use, 3D printing, or rendering. I run an Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra 16K resin printer, so I understand the full path from model to physical print — wall thickness, supports, hollowing, and print orientation.
Recent work includes a 26-character animated dinosaur asset library for an augmented-reality children's book (WebAR via MindAR and A-Frame), a VR vehicle inspection training simulator, and custom 3D-printed product designs for a holiday product line.
I take on 3D modeling, product visualization, 3D-print-ready design, character work, and CAD-adjacent modeling tasks. Clear communication, fast turnarounds, and files delivered clean and ready to use.
