BA (Hons) CGI/ Film Visual Effects/ Digital Arts Top up
Specialism – Environment Artist
I am a highly motivated & passionate 3D Artist / Environment Artist who studied CGI & VFX (BA Top-Up) at Southampton Solent University. Before this, I worked as a Motion designer for various companies in house and freelance before deciding to go back to university and pursue my dream of working in the Games or Film industry.
This project showcases two cinematic shots of different environments from Elder scrolls Skyrim’s game. Shot 1 - Septimus Signus outpost. (Frozen), Shot 2 - Snow Shod Farm. (Autumn). A breakdown of each shot and all the assets are presented to demonstrate the following skills: Storytelling, Narrative, Composition, Modelling, Re-topology, UV, baking, texturing, UE4 shader implementation/ functions, landscape- blending, vertex painting, lighting, optimisation, and rendering.
Narrative; THE ELDER SCROLLS WIKI, Where an elderly scholar, Septimus Signus, lives isolated at an outpost north of the College of Winterhold in Skyrim.

Above (An Introduction to my Project and a little about me)
“For this scene, I managed to set up global wind throughout the cinematic and have it affect the foliage, trees and smoke as the turbine of the windmill is turning. This was another critical property which helped the scene flow and appear more dynamic showing physical environment behaviours.”
