PACE (PACIFIC ADVANCED CIVIL ENGINEERING)
I authored hundreds of models and animations including fly-throughs, exhibits and designs for PACE. These 3d animations covered acres and acres of landscaping, structures and water elements as well as waterfalls and streams (partical systems, dynamic simulations, animated textures and animated displacement maps). I personally modeled, textured and animated PACE's complete 3d library as well, including rocks, trees, plants, animals and people. In other words, absolutely everything that you see I built from scratch. Here are a selected few of the projects.

SHORT ANIMATED FILMS
APPEARANCES..... I created this short film to study the new (at the time) 3DS MAX dynamic simulation features, CLOTH and FUR. This was a welcome addition for sure but both features had bug issues. Collision calculations were problematic (hair passing through objects instead of bouncing off) and cloth calculations would crash the entire program unexpectedly. It took massaging, tweaking, and compositing to get decent results. I wrote and arranced the original music soundtrack with MIDI. The full film is available to view on YouTube by clicking the title link above.

GO OUT AND PLAY..... I created this short film for Sesame Street utilizing animated sketchy-looking textures and backgrounds. The story's theme prods children to break away from their screens, go outside and use their imagination to have a fun adventure. I wrote and arranged the original music soundtrack with MIDI sequencers. The full film is available to view on YouTube by clicking the title link above.

WOODY AND THE GIRL WITH THE PINK CHAINSAW..... This film pays homage to the slapstick cartoons of yesteryear. More importantly, this also does a deeper dive into cloth and fur simulations, studying different states (wet, dry, muddy, burnt). Interesting simulation calculations achieve realistic results. I created the original music soundtrack with MIDI and Audition (Sound Forge). The full film is available to view on YouTube by clicking the title link above.

LADY NADA IN PEPPERONI..... A silly little parody of Lady Gaga and her music video, Papparazzi. I created the original music soundtrack with MIDI and Audition. The full film is available to view on YouTube by clicking the title link above.

NOVELS AND BOOKS
BLACKWATER..... An action thriller about a surfer abducted and confined to a bubble cell beneath the ocean. Yes, sharks and mysterious sea creatures abound, but the most dangerous menace is the other prisoners. My intent was for this book to be an interactive experience with animations and links but the online technology has not evolved enough to support it. However, the book does includes 30 hybrid illustrations utilizing hand-drawn art and CGI.

TURTLE ISLAND..... An action thriller about a college student who lands a summer job on an island preserve that goes bonkers. This murder mystery gets eerily complicated by an horrific weapon and an intense hurricane. My intention was to create an interactive experience so there are lots of footnotes (these were supposed to be subtle links with animations). The book includes 30 hybrid illustrations utilizing hand-drawn art and CGI.

MINIMAL CRIMINALS..... This action thriller follows the antics of a modern day Robin Hood and a narcissistic fasion mogul as they roar through a crime spree gone out of control. Light-hearted and funny, sarcastic and timely, this book includes 30 hybrid illustrations utilizing hand-drawn art and CGI.

HIP HARRY OUTSIDE THE BOX..... Tis is a fun compilation of my art and cartoons from early career work. However, I penned lots of new comic material as well and sketchbook art that makes this an enjoyable fun read with hundreds of illustrations and off-the-wall humor.
