Howdy,

My name is Zach and I'm a 3D Artist from Dallas, TX. I just graduated from the University of Texas at Dallas this past May and was fortunate enough to land a job contracting for the U.S. Army as a part of the Modeling and Simulations Division of their Counter IED Center in Newport News, VA. It's not necessarily gaming, but we use gaming platforms to create scenarios and machinimas based on actual IED events and information to aid the training of soldiers who are about to deploy overseas.

Age: 22
Location: Newport News, VA
Profession: 3D Artist
3D tool of choice?: I prefer Maya, but the recent job has forced me to use 3DS Max so I've become comfortable with it as well
Best Game Art Skill?: Modeling/Animation
Skill which needs improvement?: Texturing
Coke or Pepsi?: Dr. Pepper!
Favorite Game Character?: MegaMan
Favorite Game?: MegaMan 2 and MegaMan Zero (all the silly RPG versions drive me crazy though)
Website / Portfolio: Zach Phillips pretty old, with lots of first year school work, I need to update
