Interview: Mike Climer - Weapons Modeler

requiem2d · 18-06-2007, 11:07 PM

We thought it'd be about time to interview a professional weapons modeler on our site, what better way to settle some of the arguments? On our quest, we found Mike Climer (Portfolio: http://www.cg-eye.com/ ) who works for Red Storm Entertainment as a High Poly Modeler. He's contributed to both Ghost Recon 1 & 2. Enough from me, let's get it on !

Good article guys, keep up the good work!

One question though - i've seen a lot of people use that image viewer thing that Mike has on his website, but i have no idea what it is or it's name. I'm asking because i want to use it on my portfolio website, anybody know what it is, and where i can find it?

Haha, wow, I can't imagine being able to "accidentally" land a job like that. Sounds like a lucky guy.
These interviews are great. It's awesome seeing what the industry professionals have to say.
