Meggitt Training Systems   (Formerly FATS)

2004 to Present         Fulltime

Fats was purchased by Meggitt in 2006-07. So Essentially I worked for Meggitt 14+ years

I began work at Fats as a Lead 3D VFX Artist. I was promoted to Art Director, I was later promoted to Creative Director. Essentially I am the studio manager for the 3DVFX department. I provide all estimating, Scheduling, Training, all personnel issues, including hiring and firing, and budgeting for the department.

When time and projects permit I am not only art director still but I join in production on occasions to lead the technology. Currently I 3D model in Maya, Max, and Zbrush. I texture and create shaders in Photoshop, Substance and create shaders for Mental Ray, Arnold, Renderman. I also Edit and composite for video projects and marketing campaigns internally. I also use the following game engines in great detail Unreal, Cry Engine, SDS engine, and VBS engine. My main efforts recently include integrating Face ware tech to capture facial animation and drive characters in Unreal. I also am integrating Vive technology, Xsense motion capture, and greenscreen technologies into the companies pipeline.
