teaching
In my experience as a teacher I have learned how to develop lesson plans and communicate my ideas to my eager students. I have taught in class and online. I have produced several online lesson packages tailored to audiences of varying skill.
Here are a few examples of the tutorial videos I have produced for Intense Animation Academy

Car Modeling Kit
In this package, I take the audience on a journey into hard surface modeling. I start with just a few orthographic sketches, then quickly introduce splines, polygonal modeling, sub-d modeling, troubleshooting conversion issues from sub-d to polygons, texturing, UV layout, set building, Paint FX, lighting, rendering and compositing. Nothing was left out of this huge collection of 10 to 20 minute videos. The student will walk away with confidence in their skills to tackle any hard surface modeling projects.
Architectural modeling and rendering tutorial package
This package focuses on the basics of hard surface modeling. This however, does not diminish the tremendous value it brings to the novice 3D artist. The lessons focus mainly on Polygonal modeling, with small detours into the realm of Nurbs and Paint FX. I walk the audience through every step needed to attain an image such as the one below. Other subjects include UV layout, creating textures, lighting the scene, rendering and compositing.
