About Howard Hsu

📖 Summary

I am the new Technical Artist at Linden Lab! My responsibilities will lie mainly in the character animation pipeline, specifically to help design an avatar creation and customization system for our new upcoming virtual world. It is a huge project that I'm excited to undertake, since I get to work with tools I am most comfortable with, like Maya, and learn new tools like Havok. I have previously worked on character creation/customization tools at Electronic Arts for The Sims 3, and Avatar Reality for Blue Mars.Technical Artist @ Currently working on a next-generation virtual world for all platforms.
