Current Project:

The latest game I worked on is Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon by Revolution Software. I researched visual styles for the environments and researched and invented a new way of using light maps. I also developed some tools for Lightwave3D used for the game.

Credits:

The Art of Tennis (PC), Who Wants To Be A Millionaire 2 (PS2), Tsunami 2265 (PC), Broken Sword:The Sleeping Dragon.

Bio:

I started my professional career in 1996 providing art for an Italian multimedia company. In 1998, I joined Prograph Research as a 3D artist/animator developing my first 3D real-time title, Tsunami 2265, and creating art for another minor title. I then joined Revolution Software doing some work on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire 2 and to researching visual styles for Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon. I'm the inventor of the lightmapping technique used in the game, and I also served as the background artist and Lightwave tools developer.

During my experience in the industry I grew my skills in many fields of computer art, while developing a strong interest in scripting and programming as well. I am now freelancing and looking for interesting projects.

Inspiration:

I admire the art of Oscar Chichoni, Boris Vallejo, Blade Runner the movie, and H.R. Giger.

Favorite Game Art:

I love anything that comes from id Software's artists, especially Quake 3 and Doom 3. I also like Halo and especially Halo 2. They look fantastic!

Why I Got into the Industry:

Purely for passion. I've been trying to make art for games since I was 16... (Ten years ago!)

Tools I Can't Live Without:

I can't do without Lightwave3D for its renderer, speed and some awesome modeling tools. Maya makes animation simple...and its interactivity is unique.

Music I Listen to While Working:
When I work I usually put on Pink Floyd's "The Wall" album for inspiration. When I don't work -- which is quite rare -- I can listen to anything from Dire Straits to Italian rockers... sorry, no ambient, trash, or punk!
