3D ART

The Greek Isle of Helena

Samuel Rosenthal, Senior

Since I am striving for a position as an environment artist, I decided to push my 3D environment modeling skills to new and creative challenges. In this case, I chose to do a landscape, which is a lot more natural in design and forced me to figure out different approaches and methods in comparison to the architectural models I made in the past.

Sketchbook of VFX

Damian Monson, 3D Artist, Senior

Hi this is my VFX sketchbook from the independent study I took this semester in which I took a look at Unreal Engine 4. Much of this was to take a look at other software I will be working with in the future and taking a quick look at what I can learn and implement. As a 3D artist I wanted a couple of the VFX projects to include models that I had made. This will help me as an artist because being able to broaden my strokes as an artist allows me to be more versatile to a development team and VFX has always been something I wanted to learn.
