Modeling and 3D animation - I primarily use 3DStudioMax to do any kind of modeling or animation. Rigged, boned and skinned characters, hi or low poly, texture creation/mapping, environments, buildings, props, special effects, advanced plugins, technical problem solving, prototyping, compositing. Cartoony, stylized, or hyper-realistic.
