My ideal work environment in the pipeline and will be able to expand my current visual and technical proficiencies.

Some exciting updates here for everyone's viewing pleasure. The first being a great Advergame I was lead developer on for VISI a large ISP here in the Twin Cities area, check it out here. Second being I just launched the first of hopefully many games done on the side for Freaky Tiki Productions, check that out here. Lastly, even though this is an old project it was a very difficult one to manage in Flash dealing with controlling the Flash movie in order for it to line up and work with the video shot of an actor "interacting" with everything, and check that one out here.

Battleground States 2008 is the first full game I developed doing some contract work for Freaky Tiki Productions and Addicting Games. The game was developed in a month's time frame and with one artist and is a comedic take on the 2008 election where you take control of your favorite candidate and try to win.

VISI Advergame - Interstellar Pizza Express is an advergame I was lead developer on. If you have seen Lemonade Stand before it is a take on that style of gameplay. You are taking on the roll of an owner of a space pizza business and you must decide to do an in house server setup for taking online orders, or have VISI host everything. There are options for buying and upgrading various options for protection from the various situations that can occur depending on what elements of protection you have in place which can help or hurt your online pizza sales.

Best Buy for Business was I worked on at Pixel Farm Interactive for Best Buy's Best Buy for Business division. It was to inform businesses of the benefits of Windows Vista, Microsoft Office Small Business 2007, and Microsoft OFfice Live. The video involved a live actor we shot with a backdrop that was we removed in post and had it look like he was interacting with the Flash animation. This was tricky as not only were the videos large but the timing had to be perfect while working on all connection types.

suzieQ is a realtime texture painter that I am working on. I am developing suzieQ in Visual Studio .Net in C++ and I have implemented QT architecture for suzieQ's user interface.

Twonky is the name of a ray traced renderer that I developed in Visual Studio .Net from scratch completely in C++. Twonky takes basic scenes from a simple input text file, and outputs all renders to a targa image.

The Spider Rig you see here is a rig and UI I created for my final project in my Advanced Rigging class. The entire model has a variety of tools and gadgets that are hidden within the body that I rigged as well. The UI works side by side with the joint controllers for full control of the spider.






Here a facial rig I did as well as fully created and linked the UI for full user interaction. The rig is quite small actually and I created over 25 blend shapes to get a wide variety of facial elements.

The Audi TT you see here was composited onto a 2D image. I utilized advanced shading techniques like ambient occlusion, and created a full environmental map for realistic reflections.

The image here is a single sampling of my photography. This image in particular is a shot I took at midnight with infrared film, I have a wide range of photographs I have taken, all in black and white format. Many of them I developed and enlarged myself, and none of them are "Photoshoped".
