3D Animation & VFX

Thanks for visiting my site, my name is Pete, I am a 3D artist specialising in modelling, texturing, shading, lighting and hair - creating the visuals is what inspires me not so much the animation. I first began learning 3D when I was 16 years old through work experience at school with a few various companies. Once I got my head around the relatively new notion of computer animation I had realised I had discovered my field of interest and was just lucky enough that it actually existed as a job! Generating computer graphics has always been far more than a means of money earning for me and I'm sure it will always remain a great passion and hobby of mine. I began my full time 3D career in Melbourne, Australia. At this point I had the opportunity to learn Softimage 3D 3.7 and didn't work any further with 3D Studio version 3/4, my first 3D programme. After almost 3 years working with Softimage I sent my Showreel to Animal Logic in Sydney and a few months later moved my stuff up to Sydney to begin working there. After a further year with Softimage, Maya was starting to take over the race and I jumped aboard. I've now been working in Maya for about 18 years and its still my main 3D software package.

These days I live in Marburg, Germany.
