84 Greville Road, Cambridge, Chris Cambridgeshire, CB1 3QL Mobile: +44 (0)7395 484351 Riddell E-Mail: [email protected] Portfolio: www.axisphere.art -3D Artist- Profile As a highly motivated and self-taught CG artist I have always pushed the industries current tools to produce real-time art work of the upmost quality. Being interested in game engines, I have always enjoyed working with cutting edge technology to push the envelope of real- time graphics. I continue to provide creative input into producing some of the industry's best tools and rendering technology to produce work of excellent merit. As a keen learner and avid tech fanatic I always seek and pursue innovation. Experience Virtual Arts Limited 2017 - Present - Principal Artist/Tech Art I joined a new startup in Cambridge for a fresh challenge in Mobile VR/AR. My role at Virtual Arts Limited is creating shader networks, Unity tech art, content creation, inputting into creating our own engine/tool pipeline and to schedule artwork. Sony Interactive Entertainment 2004-2017 - Principal Artist I joined SCEE/SIE as a standard level artist and progressed to principal level. My 13-year period saw a lot of projects with some very challenging situations creating games for brand new platforms/technology, the toughest challenge being to create a Virtual Reality title (RIGS) which would be fast paced without creating nausea and achieve a solid 60 FPS throughout the experience. In my career at Sony I’ve inputted into developing our internal engines and tools, create 2D/3D graphics for our products, produce basic concept art to focus prototypes for future projects, write technical documentation and tutorials to educate the art team, worked closely with marketing to provide resources to advertise and create online social media presence, entertained VIP visitors, and educated myself in legal issues regarding design and copyright issues. Guerrilla Amsterdam 2008 - Senior Artist A great opportunity came my way to move to Amsterdam to work on Killzone 2. My goal was to learn the art pipeline/technology and to create professional working relationships between Guerrilla and Sony Cambridge. On my return to Cambridge I stepped up as lead asset artist to manage a small team to produce prop assets to finish the last few maps of Killzone 2. Freestyle Games 2003-2004- Artist In the early days when Freestyle was a start-up I was hired to help develop a racing simulation demo for SEGA. In my time there I learnt to use Renderware for Playstation 2 and a new source control software to streamline the creation process. Attention To Detail LTD 1999-2003 - Junior Artist My role at ATD was as a junior artist to help produce art for a few ups and coming projects. I worked on three prototypes: Internal Affairs, Fatman & Slim, Ion Runner all for the Playstation 2 platform. Education My education path was very alternative: from the age of six I learnt basic computer skills on the ZX spectrum to then further my skills on the Atari ST in music creation and graphic design; by the age of twelve, I was programming with a friend of mine in AMOS on the Amiga doing basic 3D rendering using Imagine/Deluxe paint and music editing using OctaMed. When I reached sixteen I decided to stop programming and to pursue my love for 3D graphics I learnt Truespace, Cinema 4D, 3D MAX and Photoshop. Games was always a passion for me so I produced a portfolio and started applying for jobs.

    Will Sonyâ•Žs Fourth Playstation Lead to a Second Sony V. Universal?

    WILL SONY’S FOURTH PLAYSTATION LEAD TO A SECOND SONY V. UNIVERSAL? † SETH ASCHER ABSTRACT Sony has included a “share” button on the next version of their popular PlayStation video game system. This feature is meant to allow players to record and share videos of their gameplay. This service shares similarities with the controversial “record” button that Sony included with its Betamax players over thirty years ago. The Betamax player was the subject of the landmark case Sony v. Universal, a foundational case for the modern application of copyright law to new technology. This Issue Brief examines how this “share” feature would fare under the framework laid out by Sony v. Universal and other evolutions in copyright law. INTRODUCTION On February 20, 2013, Sony announced their newest videogame system, predictably named the PlayStation 4.1 Chief among its new features is the share button displayed prominently on its controller.2 Microsoft’s newest offering also has a similar feature.3 Pressing the share button will allow a player to post images or videos of their gameplay to the internet, sharing them with their friends and complete strangers.4 The PlayStation 4 even buffers the last few minutes of gameplay so that a player can share their gameplay video after the fact.5 Sony’s intention is to provide an easy way for players to share images and videos online.

Signed by the final examining committee: Chair Darren Wershler External Examiner Peter Rist Examiner Marc Steinberg Supervisor Approved by Haidee Wasson Graduate Program Director Catherine Wild Dean of the Faculty of Fine Arts Date ___________________________________ iii ABSTRACT Should I Skip This?: Cutscenes, Agency and Innovation Ben Browning The cutscene is a frequently overlooked and understudied device in video game scholarship, despite its prominence in a vast number of games. Most gaming literature and criticism concludes that cutscenes are predetermined narrative devices and nothing more. Interrogating this general critical dismissal of the cutscene, this thesis argues that it is a significant device that can be used to re-examine a number of important topics and debates in video game studies. Through an analysis of cutscenes deriving from the Metal Gear Solid (Konami, 1998) and Resident Evil (Capcom, 1996) franchises, I demonstrate the cutscene’s importance within (1) studies of video game agency and (2) video game promotion.

    Scaling Probe-Based Real-Time Dynamic Global Illumination for Production

    Scaling Probe-Based Real-Time Dynamic Global Illumination for Production Zander Majercik Adam Marrs Josef Spjut Morgan McGuire NVIDIA Figure 1. Image rendered in a pre-release version of Unity with our global illumination tech- nique. Most of the indirect lighting in this scene comes from emissives (the orange monitor screens) which are integrated automatically by our technique. arXiv:2009.10796v3 [cs.GR] 22 Jun 2021 Abstract We contribute several practical extensions to the probe based irradiance-field-with-visibility representation [Majercik et al. 2019][McGuire et al. 2017] to improve image quality, con- stant and asymptotic performance, memory efficiency, and artist control. We developed these extensions in the process of incorporating the previous work into the global illumination so- lutions of the NVIDIA RTXGI SDK [NVIDIA 2020], the Unity and Unreal Engine 4 game engines, and proprietary engines for several commercial games. These extensions include: a single, intuitive tuning parameter (the “self-shadow” bias); heuristics to speed transitions in 1 the global illumination; reuse of irradiance data as prefiltered radiance for recursive glossy reflection; a probe state machine to prune work that will not affect the final image; and mul- tiresolution cascaded volumes for large worlds. 1. Introduction This paper discusses an algorithm to accelerate the evaluation of global illumination. The acceleration happens in two parts. The main part creates and maintains a data structure that allows a query of the form irradiance(location, orientation) (E(X; !)), which replaces a potentially expensive computation of diffuse global illumination with a O(1) lookup into a data structure for locations anywhere in space.
