3 Mike ​ Waterworth Technical​ Artist Contact Location: North West England Mobile: + 44 (0) 7765304726 Email: [email protected] Website: www.mikewaterworth.com Personal Statement I have been in the games industry since 1990 and in this time I have collated many skills in developing games. I have performed many different roles in my career; from sprite artist, texture artist, environment artist, weapon and prop artist, vehicle modeller, character modeller, character rigger, creature animator, tool developer, to management roles like lead artist and team leader. These varied experiences have allowed me to develop my skills as a technical artist and I truly enjoy the challenges of this role. Though recently, whilst working a smaller games company, I have to admit to being more of a generalist than a true technical artist. My skills allow me to not only sculpt, model and texture an asset, but also rig, animate and import it into a game engine. My technical art skills allow me to maintain the import and export pipelines, develop new tools to enhance workflow, as well as set up and maintain animation state machines and animation blueprints in a game engine. It's all great fun! I also enjoy the challenges of working on projects outside of the limitations of games; rigging and animating objects using systems and deformers not supported within game engines. I pride myself on being a hard working, self-motivated professional with a passion to do my best on whatever project I'm working on.
