This site contains a collection of the work I've done over the last 14+ years as a professional 3d artist. I've primarily worked on arch-viz the past several years and am currently employed at HMC Architects in Ontario, CA. I spend most of my "free" time with my wife and working on my 3d community scripting website ScriptSpot.

They're having an introductory offer of $39.95 until March 19th so if you'd like a new coffee table art book grab a copy while you can. http://3dats.com/best_book/ispirato-vol1.asp

Consulting & Training

Submitted by chris on Wed, 10/14/2009 - 03:53
I enjoy teaching others when scheduling permits - if you're in the Southern California area I can be available for consulting / training. This can range from the simple to complex - from simple instruction to more complicated project workflow issues. My primary areas of expertise include 3ds Max, VRay, Photoshop, and After Effects and how they create an efficient process for visualization.

Video Copilot - great resource for compositing

Submitted by chris on Thu, 09/17/2009 - 16:50
I've been really getting into compositing lately and there's a great tutorial site called "Video Copilot" that is absolutely amazing. http://www.videocopilot.net

Adding tutorials section soon

Submitted by chris on Sun, 09/13/2009 - 18:54
I'm updating the site a bit - it's about time I start sharing some of what I've picked up over the years so in the coming several weeks I'm going to start putting up some training / tutorial type materials. I'll start with some presentations I've done for the San Diego 3ds Max User Group but hope to make it a semi-regular aspect of my life. I've learned a ton from all of you over the years and I'm looking forward to giving back.
