It’s been a year, GDC talk, Laid Off, Luckily got a new job, Lightbox Panel and Workshops with Beyond Extent. I hope to bring more good and positivity to industry as we still are dealing with a shitshow for incoming students and artist.

I started this project at the beginning of February when I learned our project with Bend was cancelled, it's still a ways away from being finished, but with the progress over the past few months, it's be a great litmus to my progress this past year.

I’ve finally set up a YouTube channel where I’ll be posting tutorials, walkthroughs, experiments, and the kinds of insights I wish I had earlier in my career. If you like materials, shaders, environment art, have a look!

First @lightboxexpo.com in the books! This weekend was great. Helping students, juniors and educators with our experiences during such a tumultuous time in the industry has been eye opening. It was also good to see colleagues from PlayStation, Art Institute and even from Universal Studios!

This guy on LinkedIn constantly loves to post rage bait about Photogrammetry being the end all, be all for Art. I swear post engagement isn’t the way to stay relevant in the industry.

Been here for almost a month, but finally time to let everyone know. I started at as a Staff Material Artist at Zeromatter! They are a tech team that are work in Simulations!
It is a bit sad that I stepped away from games until things get better or a solid project comes around!

The past few weeks have been busy for me. I went on a bit of a social media blackout, but one thing I can show is our presentation at #GDC2025! If you have access to the GDC Vault, you can watch it here! gdcvault.com/play/1035323...

Tweaked my scene a bit trying different designs for Midcentury style. I know the SSS on the translucent fabric is going to be finicky… Also I need to look more into Midcentury light fixtures.

Some more progress as I slowly work on this scene. So far I’ve added some more Tessellation on the Carpet for a Shag effect and I made a Beauty Render scene for Prop Call Outs. Next comes some more Tileables and fleshing out the props more! #texturing #UE5 #gamedev #gameart #environmentart #3dart
