PETER  BARATI

Profile

• Self-motivated and high-energy in research, and education.
• Capable to develop a logical model of a problem, and deliver multiple solutions in accordance with the projects needs
• 3D graphics and Animation and Effects (2D included)
• IT: System Administration and Networking using Windows7, MacOSX, Linux
• C and C++ programming, Scripting with MEL, Python
• 3D game development for PC and Mobile devices using UNREAL`s UDK. (Conformity to learn any other engine).
• Math and Physics skills
• Ability for Architectural Design and Design Engineering
• Can deliver Biological Simulations.

Detailed CG experience based on projects

• Storyboarding
• Nurbs and Polygon Modeling objects
• Polygon Modeling  Characters using Autodesk Maya (since year 2000)
• Low Poly to High Poly workflow with Zbrush or Mudbox. Baking for film (Displacement Maps) or Next Generation games (normal maps)
• UV layout using Maya, Zbrush, UVLayout, Unwrella . The most efficient in my opinion is when using Zbrush`s UVLayout plugin, then make it more efficient in Maya. Zbrush offers the fastest workflow, but it is was lacking the high precision and memory efficiency that I usually need for my projects. Maya is able to provide that, and the UV`s I can paste back in Zbrush. Also the great advantage of this nonlinear workflow that the UV can be modified after the texture is ready, which was unheard before.
• Knowledge of a lot of existing plugins for 3ds max and Maya for organic environment creation and some experience with Vue XStream.

• Texturing with Photoshop, Texture Painting with Zbrush and Mudbox.
• Rigging is Maya, 3ds max or Softimage. (I also like CAT which is Character Animation Toolkit for 3ds Max. I have worked with Softimage`s auto-rig system before. Before all that, I was able to make a MEL script which creates my own auto-rig system, which can cut down rigging time from 2 days to 2 hours. I have always looked for the most advanced and efficient techniques.
• Character animation with the previously mentioned rigs.
• Limited experience with Realflow fluid dynamics (can be developed further)
• Rendering experience using Mental Ray and Vray engines for Maya, 3dsMax Cinema4d.
• Level Building with Unreal engine
• Compositing render elements using node-based compositing systems like Apple`s Shake and Foundry`s NUKE.
