Peter Houston , Cotham

Considerable academic and occupational experience in a wide range of 2D and 3D visual effects processes. Having gained practical skills with professionally regarded commercial organisations on productions such as ‘Da Vinci’s Demons’, I have demonstrated a very high standard of work, operating to strict time schedules and budgetary guidelines, have shown flexibility, adaptability and dedication, and a willingness to put forward ideas and suggestions for consideration.

Recent freelance work has broadened my skills base, incorporating greater client interaction where it has been possible to discuss creative and artistic ideas, and to be actively involved with project scheduling.

A recent e-Learning position required me to be responsible for the development and creation of blended learning across multiple platforms, supporting the training needs of the military through 3D modelling, texturing, animation and visual effects. During this time I was also able to mentor and advise colleagues developing their skills in 3D to assist with large projects under my supervision, eventually enabling them to work on their own projects set by our clients.

My current position is based around photogrammetry, modelling, texturing and rendering in Vray for use in Unity, creating virtual shopping experiences for use by Walmart, Exxon, Tesco, Sainbury’s and other large retailers. Alongside my professional commitments I work on personal projects across various disciplines to develop and improve my skills.
