Charles Gunter’s Summary
I am a passionate enthusiast of 3D art. I have gained valuable knowledge, in regards to the 3D medium, from completing my two college degrees. On February 8th, 2008, I obtained a Bachelors Degree in Computer Animation from Full Sail and I had the honor of graduating as Salutatorian. On June 16th, 2005, I obtained an Associates Degree in Multi Media from ITT Technical Institute, where I had the honor of graduating as Valedictorian.
Through my educational endeavors, I developed an interests in Hard-Surface Modeling. I personally enjoy modeling 3D representations of vehicles, environments, and prop pieces. I enjoy seeing each project throughout its entire process, from idea, to concept, to refinement, and finally to completion. I love the challenge that 3D modeling brings and the enjoyment of finishing a quality piece.
I am a down to earth individual who enjoys hard work. I have a determination for excellence, a keen eye for detail, a willingness to accept any modeling challenge, a strong ability to manage my time wisely, a strong sense for clear communication, an ability to work efficiently within a team, an ability to perform under stressful conditions, an ability to work long hours while retaining focus, an ability to take criticism and a never ending thirst to learn more.
Eagerly on the search to begin my career, I am looking to fulfill my life long dream to work in the video game production industry. I am open to relocate to any location that any opportunity will take me.

I worked with Two Door FX as an Intern. I worked as an assistant to the Visual FX Supervisor, Mr. Diego Torroija, on a film production. The film that we were a part of is entitled "Beethoven: The Reel Story". This film was shot mostly on the back lots of Universal Studios Florida.
