Sims 3

While working for "Maxis" at Electronic Arts I had the pleasure of working on the "Sims 3 Franchise".

This was my very first VFX gig in the games industry and it was actually due to my curiosity of the FX engine that I became a VFX artist.  My background was not a technical one at all. I was originally hired by Maxis as a texture artist.  After that I became a character modeler, subsequently becoming an FX artist.  I asked a lot of questions, worked my way up, and became the lead VFX artist on the Sims 3 expansion pack team during my last 2 shipped titles in the Sims Division.

Titles Shipped:

Sim Animals 2 for Wii (Oct 2009)
Sims 3: World Adventures (Nov 2009)
Sims 3: Ambitions (Jun 2010)
Sims 3: Late Night (Oct 2010)
Sims Medieval (March 2011)
Sims 3: Generations (May 2011)
Sims 3: Pets (Oct 2011)

The following are examples of my VFX work completed in the Sims Division
