Instructor Profile
Jeff Patton
Freelance Artist
I became interested in 3d graphics in the late 80's from reading articles in magazines about CG. Shortly thereafter, I began exploring various 3d software applications. I cut my teeth on 3D applications like Amorphium, Bryce, and Blender. Eventually, I worked my way towards 3dsmax. I adopted 3dsmax because I found that I enjoyed the workflow that it provided.
During the mid 90's, I had a job installing building automation software (software that controls lighting, heating/air, security, etc.). I began implementing my own custom 3D graphics (floor plans, equipment drawings, etc.) into my installations.
As time passed, I started receiving requests to add my graphics to other sites. Eventually, this led to a fulltime job creating graphics for various automation system software packages.
