About
I'm a Unity Developer and 3D Artist based in the United Kingdom. I've had a huge passion for video games since the C64 and since discovering Valve's Hammer Editor I've not stopped creating my own games and real time experiences. In 2004 I started a [BA] Games Design course at the University of Wolverhampton and by the time I had finished I had turned a hobby into a prospective career.
Since 2009 have been using these skills to create training and simulation applications as well as serious games for a variety of clients. See below for more info on my skills and past work.
Core Skillset
Software Specialisation
Work
I have spent a number of years applying my creative skills and technical knowledge to creating immersive real time experiences. I have a strong ability to recreate real world objects and environments. This has been incredilbly beneficial for my work for training and simulation projects. You can find below a limited selection of my work below.
Environment Modelling
An example of models created for environments.
Real Time Architectural Visualisation
Architectural Visualisation using Unity.
Games
WebGL Astroids clone.
24 Pounder Cannon Prop
Prop Modelling examples.
Atari 2600 Joystick
Retro controller rendered using Mental Ray.
Lab Oven Prop
Game Asset modelled from concept art.
Training and Simulations
Flight Deck Officer training system built in Ogre 3D.
BOA Virtual Flythrough
Virtual Flythrough of Birmingham Ormistan Academy.
Play Barn Virtual Flythrough
Virtual flythrough of a proposed community centre.
ROADflow
Pre-rendered video demonstration of traffic enforcement equipment.
My Space on the Tibby
Serious Game made with the Source Engine.
DoomEd
A GCSE Science themed serious game made using the Source Engine.
Environment Modelling
My style of modelling leans towards realism and this has helped in creating graphics for use in training and simulation applications.
24 Pounder Cannon Prop
An Example of hard surface modelling. This cannon and Wagon were built in 3DS Max and textured using Illustrator, Photoshop and Quixel Suite.
Flight Deck Officer Training System (2011)
While at SEA I was heavily involved in creating 3D Models for their Flight Deck Officer Training System used by Eurocopter for Oil and Gas environments. The system was built using Ogre 3D.
Birmingham Ormiston Academy Virtual Flythrough (2010)
Much like the Play Virtual Fly-through, I created a Unity scene from CAD drawings of a new academic building in Birmingham. The scene was built for web browser deployment and gave users the opportunity to explore and familiarise themselves with the new building.
Play Barn Virtual Fly-through (2010)
In 2010 I used Unity for the first time to create this virtual walkthrough of a proposed community centre. I was given CAD drawings of the building which I used to create the environment and wrote the basic functionality in Javascript.
ROADflow (2010)
While at engineering company SEA I was responsible for creating a variety of promotional and demonstration videos such as this one built in 2010 for a traffic enforcement system dubbed the 'Beast of Basildon'. The models were built and animated in 3DS Max and edited in Adobe Premiere.
My Space on the Tibby (2008)
For My Space on the Tibby I was asked to recreate an area of land within a residential area using OS data and photos. The created 3DS Max built models were used in a Source Engine mod in which community members could explore. The project won the “most innovative use of geographic information” Ordnance Survey Award in 2008.
