I never imagined when I picked up my first crayon that I would be creating Photo-Real 3D models with a machine called a computer, yet here I am. It was a long path with lots of distractions, the tools I used changed dramatically, but the one thing that was constant was my love of visual expression. When I am not geeking it up in a Soho studio with my friends, I am enjoying great food, movies, and most importantly my wife and family.<\/p>\n<h5>What I do?<\/h5>\n<p>First and foremost I am a 3D Modeler, usually working within a 3ds Max pipeline. Aside from modeling I also have a strong knowledge of texture creation, uv unwrapping, material\/shader development, lighting and rendering within both a V-ray and Mental Ray environment. As a modeler I have made the natural progression to digital sculpting, I am fluent in both Pixologic Zbrush, and Autodesk Mudbox.I have been creating highly detailed character, environment and hard surface models within these applications for quite some time now. \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nyc3d.org\/3dwp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/FB01_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-605\" alt=\"FB01_n\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nyc3d.org\/3dwp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/FB01_n-261x300.jpg\" width=\"261\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nyc3d.org\/3dwp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/FB01_n-261x300.jpg 261w, https:\/\/www.nyc3d.org\/3dwp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/FB01_n.jpg 706w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 261px) 100vw, 261px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0 A strong sense of design, spacial relations, and overall composition mean that I bring much more to the table than just simply modeling.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nyc3d.org\/3dwp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/FB02_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-608\" alt=\"FB02_n\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nyc3d.org\/3dwp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/FB02_n-200x75.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"75\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I have an acute ability to adapt and design while creating 3D assets and environments. I know what works, what looks good, and explore all options as I create.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to my work, I have authored a book, \\&#8221;Poly-Modeling with 3ds Max\\&#8221; that is published by Focal Press. I have also contributed a chapter to the 3DATS publication \\&#8221; 3ds Max 2010 Architectural Visualization Advanced to Expert\\&#8221;. Todd has also created training material for Digital-Tutors.
