SCHOOL PROJECTS
Lost Shadows 2002 – 2003
3D Artist
Senior Project: A group of Advanced Technology students initiated a project to build a finished video game that would compare to a full retail product. The team designed and produced the game and UAT provided its facilities, equipment and software. Using the Unreal Tech game engine, we created a total conversion of Unreal Tournament 2003; our game was an intense action shooter game played from a 3rd person perspective.

A small team of UAT students created a death match level and characters which would earn us credits for both modeling and game design classes. We chose the theme and assigned responsibilities. We decided to make the level for Quake III, and thus used the Q3Radiant game engine.
• Modeled, UV mapped, textured and rigged a character in 3ds Max and then exported it to Q3Radiant.
• Created the model sheet for the character model.
• Tested the level to ensure playability.
