About me

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to express my interest in the 3d artist position advertised on Creativepool. I posses skills in 3d modelling and have 4-5 years experience creating 3d assets for several organisations such as yours. I would like to bring this knowledge and experience to your company.

My background in in Product Design, with a 4 year BA(Hons) Degree and a years experience in Product Design, working for 2 companies to back this up. I decided to make a slight career path adjustment and decided to go into creating 3d assets for the games industry, during which time I have worked for 3 companies.

My responsibilities during my role as a 3d artist in the games industry included:

Modelling, texturing, animation, collision generation for 3d game assets including: Environments, Architectural structures, Cars and Characters.

During my time at TTGames, I was lead artist for 6 months during the course of LEGO HarryPotter. During this time role including managing a small team of artists, ensuring assets were created on time and liasing with other teams to get game produced to tight deadlines.

Ive worked on platforms including: PC, PS3, XBOX and Wii. Polycount and texture sizes are always an important factor on any platform, so it was always essential to monitor and get such aspects correct.

I am proficient in 3ds Max, Maya, Modo, Flash, Adobe Premier and Photoshop.

Working as a team or individually was common practice, each time proactively seeking feedback from both Leads and Peers. Use of in-house tools was also common at TTGames and a quick patience had to developed to deal with the constant development and problems of custom made tools and software.

Thank you for your time and consideration.Examples and playable demos of my work can be seen on my portfolio website at: www(dot)cgartist(dot)hostzi(dot)com

Yours sincerely,

Owen Buscombe
