I have over 20 years of experience in every aspect of 3D graphics and animation. Over the last 5 years, I've been concentrating on dynamics and volumetric work for visual effects for television and film. My career has spanned motion-pictures, episodic television, computer games, medical and scientific visualisation and ancient document re-creation. Which is kind of awesome for someone who got into 3D to build spaceships and blow them up. I'm able to relocate for appropriate employment offers.
