My Role
Lead 3d Environment Artist (Racing Sections).

I was brought in late on this project to help out on the ambious racing sections of the game. We ended up cutting a lot of content that we would never had the time to complete and polish to our high standards. The end result was a really exiting and fun series of high octane racing sections that complemented the 3rd person action of the game. For more info visit Gamespot.

My role
3d Artist, created over half of the games race tracks.

This was the first video game I worked on back in 1997 for Funcom Dublin. It was a physics based multi-player cartoon racer, it went through many incarnations before being picked up by Sony Europe in 1998. It was critically acclaimed when it was finally released in 1999. If you can find a copy, I highly recommend the multi-player mode, you won't be disappointed!
