Chris Peterson’s Summary

Through my career I have held positions which have required me to model, texture, animate, light, and render passes for various projects. This has greatly increased my knowledge and skill as a generalist. I have proven that I work well as part of a team and also independently by effectly doing what needs to be done to get the project completed, on time, and to the quality that everyone expects. Finally, I have been able to streamline several pipelines by utilizing several of my Lscripts, MEL scripts, and Eyeon Fusion scripts.

Chris Peterson’s Specialties:
