CGI Animation Lead

About Me

Hello.

I am a skilled CGI animator with 9+ years of experience creating technical training content.

My content focus has been on automotive (EV) manufacturing and service - with a prior focus on charging and renewable energy infrastructure.

I enjoy collaborating with colleagues at all levels of product development to reliably deliver accessible and high-quality instructional materials.

Below is an animation of a linear pump. Modeling done in Blender based on photos and illustrations. Animation is keyframed to loop seamlessly.

Below is an embedded 3D model of a wire harness. The model was exported in .GLB format with multiple normal maps applied. The tool used to view the model in-browser is Google's Model Viewer.

Below is an embedded 3D model of the New River Valley, where I lived for several years. The mesh was exported from Terrain2STL, then a custom shader was made to map colors to terrain height. The result was baked into a texture and then exported in .GLB format. The tool used to view the model in-browser is ThreeJs.
