| Introduction | I grew up playing video games. I started doing research on my favorite video game company, Bungie Studios, the makers of Halo. I looked into a career path with Bungie and learned that one of the requirements was knowledge of the software Maya. The next week I had a student version and a huge textbook. I made it my mission to learn this program. I did not realize I was doing anything artistically until my eighteenth birthday when our neighbors invited our family over to their home for Christmas Eve. It was there that I had the opportunity to meet Neville Page, and soon discovered that Neville was the lead creature designer for Avatar. He showed me some of his work and I could see the passion he had for the industry. I went home and returned with a few samples of my work on Maya. Neville was impressed that this kid in high school had the gumption to learn Maya on his own. Neville was the first person to introduce me to Zbrush, Gnomon School of VFX, and most importantly the Gnomon Workshop. Being a self-learner, the Gnomon Workshop has given me the tools to grow into the world of art. |
