Hello there, I'm Nick, a freelance 3D artist from Northern Ireland. In my time between regular commercial work I am currently trying my hand at a bit of game development, something I've wanted to do since I was a kid.

Experience:
I've been working with 3D in one way or another for around 5 years now, started off teaching myself enough Maya to get through my graduation project, later receiving proper training at the NFTS in 2007. I switched to using Softimage for my first commercial work a year later and have been using it ever since. Over the years I've taken on a variety of different roles; pre-viz, modelling, shading, animation, ICE, particles, I render mostly in Mental Ray but have recently started using Arnold as well. I've worked as part of team, providing specific elements to fit as well as leading smaller projects from beginning to end.
