Time Traveler
Summer 2003
Time Traveler is a game demo produced in conjunction with El Camino Studios, another small studio like my own. They developed the code for the game, and we created all the concepts, artwork, and music (thanks to Smartsound Quicktracks). The demo was created as part of a Maya for Games training program at ITU. Characters were modeled in Lightwave (UVs done in both Lightwave and maya), textured in Photoshop, and rigged and animated in Maya. A copy of the demo (as yet unfinished) for PC is available on CD. If you would like a copy, email me.

GameTutorials.com is a web site dedicated to providing tutorials to programmers for developing games. The authors asked me to create a medium-count poly "avatar" for them. Modeled in Lightwave (then exported as OBJ), textured in Photoshop with one 1024x1024 map.
Praetorian Online
Fall 2001
Praetorian is a film that was being produced (current status is unknown) by Worldtek Productions using Lightwave and 3D artists from around the world. I was one of the modelers for the film. The soldier was the test model required to be allowed to work on the team. The soldier's gun and the control stations were my assignments. Textures were to be completed by the texturing team.
Jubal Online
1997 - 2002
Jubal is an online gaming company, and using mostly Bryce I've created more than 200 images for their strategy rollplaying games. To see some of the work I've done for Jubal, go to the Dardalani screenshots page - all the shots are mine except the two city gates shots and the image with the blue sky. Here are some screenshots of the game itself (my images are in the upper left corner of each shot, obviously): Streets of Dardalani, Sanctum Library, The Great Hall of the Innocents, The Hall of the Moons.
