Bio
Working in the Games Industry for the past 3 years, I have gained essential knowledge of low poly modelling techniques such as LOD's, collisions, texture baking, normal mapping, and mesh optimizing.
With professional experience in multiple software packages I can quickly adapt to new projects, and always look to push my work further.
"Martin is a tireless worker who always tries his best to meet and exceed whatever challenge he's been given. I strongly recommend him to any company seeking a skilled 3D artist."

Resume - Industry + Software Experience
Working As Intended (2008 - 2011 / ongoing) – 3D Environment Artist:
Responsible for creating most of the Buildings, Weapons, Furniture, and Props used in the game Dawntide, a sandbox MMO currently in production.
I have worked closely with all departments and often worked on tasks & troubleshooting for various performance, collision, + placement issues. I have also generated all of the trees currently in-game (using speedtree).
NextGen Reality (2011 - ongoing) – 3D Artist:
Currently creating low polygon weaponry (guns) for real time usage. All weapons created utilize Diffuse, Normal, and Specular textures, and have no overlapping UV space for accurate Ambient Occlusion baking.
Meshes are kept as individual objects for easy animation and topology is considered for correct shading.
Various Clients (2006 – 2011) - Freelance 3D Artist:
Over the past 5 years I have worked for many clients including : CocaCola, NiceDice Designs, Fugro Chance, ES3D Studios, to name a few. Projects have included animated drag races (CocaCola 'Vault 5000') which meant creating highly detailed vehicle and environment models. I have also created massive inner-city animations to be used as web intros (NiceDice Designs), and 3D Ship models to be used in offshore Navigation Software (Fugro Chance).
Private clients & projects have often included game-ready models for Indie companies, and high detail vehicle models for STL Printing.
