Senior 3D Artist Chris Bradwell

 

“For over six years I have been creating computer generated graphics, as this was my hobby before choosing this as a professional commitment. I am now an expert in producing high quality 3D computer generated images, video and real-time interactive graphics. Starting with the concept and design stage, to modelling and sculpting, to texturing and materials, to rigging and animating, to particle systems and effects, to lighting and polishing, to exporting and rendering.

 

“Developing the highest quality digital imagery is my niche. During my time in the industry I have gained excellent communication and collaboration skills working across the different disciplines within a team or with clients to deliver the most creative, and inventive computer graphics possible.”
