CSE Software - Lead 3d Modeler and Texture Artist
Lead a small team of artists in creating heavy equipment simulators for Caterpillar while working for CSE Software in Peoria, Illinois.
Each simulator shipped with a variety of exercises to test the operator's knowledge, skill, and proficiency. One of these exercises, the Machine Walkaround, requires the player to identify the operating capability of all inspection points unique to that vehicle. Our team worked closely with Caterpillar Subject Matter Experts to maintain complete accuracy in all 3d models and safety regulations.

Working at CSE was my first job out of college and in my two and a half years there we published more than ten simulators. Initially my role was strictly modeling but as the project and our team expanded I transitioned to be the art team lead. This entailed working every step of the asset creation pipeline as well as documenting key processes and procedures. Also worked with management in hiring additional artists and quoting prospective project hours.
