| DEV DIARY 12 - Mattes |

|
| Howdy folks.
My name's Mattes and I'm a modeller and skinner for FirstStrike. I do a few other things as well but they mostly consist of giving Blitz a headache.
My main focus for the first few months with the team have been Mos Espa models. I hope you enjoy this collection of Mos Espa buildings as our group has worked very hard on them. You can look at my models from when I first started compared to the most recent ones and really see a difference. I've learned so much working with this team. It's given me so much perspective as to how professional game development works.
 
My latest project was in the trenches. Preacher gave me the honor of working on the Death Star trench. 3 days of work and I managed to randomize Preacher's models and I made 5 trench plates. This was so the trench was more dynamic and not like a Flintstones cartoon where you see the same potted plant every half-second.
Oh wait, do I have to talk about myself? -groans- I suppose if HavoC did...
Well, I was born on a farm (no joke, I really was. I fed the chickens every morning and collected the eggs.) in California. My first computer game was the original Star Wars arcade. I actually still have the floppy disk. It must be a collector's item by now. My first 3d modelling program I got when I was 14 was RayDream Studio 5. It was a fairly basic program that I taught myself (as there was 0 online support). Then switched over to 3ds MAX a few years later.
 
But aside from computer modeling and gaming, I've been into movies and the film industry. I attended film school for 3 years and worked on several sets as a production designer, gaffer, casting director and other small roles. My goal in my career is to start up a production company that produces movies and games and who knows what else. Sometimes I can't keep up with my imagination. Just like this Dev Diary. It's gone off in tangents and has no structure at all.
But you get the idea. Yesh?
