Who am I?
Hello! My name is Jacob, and I am a graduate of Bournemouth University, where I achieved a 1st with honours in BA Computer Animation Technical Arts, and a Merit in MSc Computer Animation Visual Effects.
Right now I am looking for games/engine programming roles, while working on creating commercial games and tools.
My main focus is on programming and 3D modelling and texturing, especially for games.
Making games is my passion.
If you look at my Projects pages and Showreel, you will see I have experience working in Maya, Houdini, Substance Designer and Substance Painter, Unreal Engine 4 & 5 (both blueprints and C++, testing, and Niagara), as well as working with VR.
I also have a passion for character design and in my free time am practicing my illustration skills. You can find that under 'Art', alongside my modelling and texturing work.
