If you want to see some of my better work from the past and present, then you are in the right place.  Most of the professional work I have done over the past three years is still under NDA and will probably remain so forever.  This of course is unfortunate, but such is the nature of the entertainment biz.  I did a lot of prototyping, tools, and rigging that I won’t be able to show, but trust me, it was super cool.  :)

I am using those skills I acquired to re-build some of the better tools I created so I can make them bigger and better for use on my personal projects, so stay tuned for that.  Until then, enjoy what I have to offer and be sure to check out my latest news to see the sort of things I am currently working on.

Some of my animations.

This is some facial rigging I did for “Golden Axe Beast Riders”.  This was built with a clever auto rig created by Rich Kats.  I did the joint placement, face poses, and skinning.

This is a cloth simulation test for a shot I planned on doing with my Elephant rig. I may get back to that some day.
