About Me Beginning in the remote and mysterious land of New Zealand back in 2012, my work in the Animation industry has involved numerous years of rigging, coding scripts and tools and a myriad of technical problems that needed solutions! I've also worked in 3D modelling and have had various TD responsibilities as part of my roles.
Roles:
Rigging TD(Character setup etc) - For making the assets capable of practically anything in animation! At least that's the ideal.
ModellingArtist - No more unriggable topology! Characters, environments and general hard surface and organic models. Can provide technical feedback and assistance to other modellers, and work to studio conventions etc.
Other TD (coding and troubleshooting) roles - Character TD, Animation TD, Modelling TD, Pipeline TD, Shot TD or similar. - When you need someone technical to solve issues, automate things, make tools, and fix what breaks! (Most of these roles were included in my 'Rigging' role at some point in time.)
Plus hobbyist level (Generalist) ability in other roles.
Availability Status: (As of 20 April 2021) Currently based in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
