About me
3D Environment Artist/ Generalist.
My name is King Marvin Mugabi. I'm a versatile mid-level 3D generalist with a more than solid traditional 2D illustration/animation background. I've worked in the art industry as a story boarder/animator/Illustrator and more. I upgraded my skill set to include game design and the 3D arts. Today I'm a fully trained and newly experienced generalist with a focus on environment art. I'm willing to relocate and if asked, my salary expectation would be annual.
Skills
My 2D strengths include but are not limited to traditional/digital animation, speedy/cinematic storyboarding and simple or complex illustration. Adobe cs5 with a focus on photoshop and video editing., My 3D strengths include working though 3Ds Max, Zbrush and normal generating software such as Ndo to produce real time ready organic or hard surface models. I can carry these models further down the pipeline through UV mapping in into source map texturing. I can rig, skin and animate and lastly I can import the assets into game engines such as UDK. I also have Motion Capture experience, capture and clean up. I take direction well and I’m a team player. I currently reside in Toronto and I find your location ideal, for I was looking for a solid opportunity to relocate., Thank you for your consideration.
