Summary
Calvin's early artistic career has been heavily influenced by 80's horror and thrillers by creators such as George A. Romero, Stephen King and Shinji Mikami.
As an evolving artist, he has progressed from traditional paint and visual art to digital art.
After 10 years as a photographer in fashion, music and live events playing with lighting and shadow play, he has turned his energies towards digital post-production toolsets.
Today, as a 3D artist his efforts and passion are focused on a hyper-realism art style for contribution to video game environments, modelling assets and props.
Maya is used for asset creation, Substance Painter for texturing developing custom materials in Substance Alchemist and Designer. For the final output, Marmoset Tool Bag will be used for real-time results. In recognizing industry needs, Calvin is now experimenting with Houdini and Nuke.
