Summary

I would like to tell you a little about myself.

I started my professional career as a Draftsman in 1972. Sixteen years on the drawing board, then into the mad, mad world of CAD, with Microstation and AutoCAD, all of us flying by the seat of our pants learning by trial and error. Then on to CAD Administration, support and eventually IT Management.

I discovered Poser 4 in 1999 and was immediately hooked. But, my art really wasn't very good. I kept at it though.

I joined Animal Logic at Fox Studios Sydney in December 2000 as Head of System Administration (now called IT Manager). It was there that I learnt how important art is in every form and medium.

In 2001 I found DAZ Studio, and I have been using it ever since.

During my time at Animal Logic not only was I fortunate to work with very talented 3D/2D Artists, Directors, Producers and support staff, but to work on enormous movies as well.

Just a small list: Moulin Rouge, Matrix I,II & III, The Man Who Sued God, Charlotte Grey, Thin Red line, Hero, Rabbit Proof Fence and the beginnings of Happy Feet. And the TV Sci Fi Series Farscape.

I am also proficient using: Blender, Maya, 3DS Max, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Final Cut Pro and Photoshop. And recently, iClone.

I've also started mucking around with Unreal and Unity along with Substance Painter and Megascans.
