January 2, 2010 Military Madness is out.. We had all but finished the game at Backbone vancouver when the studio went under. The project was taken over by our American sister company. Most of the models are the same but the textures, lighting UI and Animation are all different. Its a bit of a disappointment. Im told that they could not use our lighitng tech.

The Intro Still uses some of Sean's original concept art.

Under Construction ! Cleaning out old files

September 8, 2008
Backbone Vancouver is no more, which means I need a new job!

August 23, 2006
Started working on a new character(s). Bought a new Intuos 3 Tablet, its a lot more fancy then the 4X5 Grafire 1 that it replaces :p

June 10, 2006
New Job at Backbone Entertainment. I probably wont have updates on my site for a wile as I've moved and have no computer this month.

April 11, 2006
I have been working on a bunch of new things: New character new environment, new renders of old things. I have put up new videos on the art page, mostly different lighting. I can now cut the file size of the videos in half with only a little bit off noise added. So far only robo has the upgrade. I'm still not happy about quicktime killing the contrast and colour.

March 6, 2006
Much work has been done. The art section is no longer a crazy sprawl.

February 7, 2006
Work has progressed on the new character might be done this weekend if i get the time. Also I changed around the site a bit.

January 26, 2006
I added some new pics and some videos, they are in mov format and use sorenson 3.

November 15, 2005
Added a tutorial. Tim of XDP racing asked if i would help them with their UVs and texture baking. The tutorial is currently a WIP but should be done as fast as I can. If you see any terrible problems with it let me know Email Note that at this point spelling and grammar are bad.

November 7, 2005
I have been working on some personal work for a new demo reel. Some students have asked for my buildings for there short film. (for concepts rather then just to use)
I also talked to Tim of XDP racing, I will give them the Europa when done and pick a car from their list when I start a new one.

October 17, 2005
Fixed a lot of grammar and spelling issues. Thanks to Alicia and Cordelia for their proof reading. I will try and learn. I changed around the current page and added a new picture.

October 16, 2005
Changed the main page to include news. Made the old news "Current", which will house WIP personal work. I wasn't sure what to do with this main page. Some friends have agreed to look for spelling and grammar errors throughout the site. Some work has been done on the "Current" page also.

October 13, 2005
Work has begun!
