United States, Greensboro

Hello, My name is Wil Vaughn, I have been in the architectural field in one way or the other for the past 18 years, first starting out in construction (8 years) & then after college moving into the different areas of design (10 years). I have a strong grasp on the inner workings of architectural planning & project procedures across many areas of the industry. Currently I am looking to incorporate my skill set with a respected firm as an Illustration Artist & help move them into the future. I am highly knowledgeable with AutoCAD & drafting in the areas of; general architecture, electrical, HVAC, mechanical, specialty trades such as, rainscreen systems, curtain wall, metal & glass canopies, concrete, point supported glass walls & canopies, skylights, ornamental metals & sculpture, and aluminum & steel framing. My program of choice for 3D & rendering/Illustration is 3ds Max / V-ray, I find the combination of these 2 powerful programs unmatched. I am also versed in the following plug-ins for 3DsMax; Madcar, Multiscatter, Multitexture, Floor Generator, City Traffic & DreamScape. Other 3D applications in which I have experience; DAZ 3D, e-on's Vue, & Autodesk Mudbox. Also for the past 3 years I have been using Autodesk Inventor for some of my work due it being a solids & parametric modeling software. Post production of still images are mainly done in Photoshop with animations composited together in AfterEffects. I also use Premier to add & cut different sources of footage together for presentation materials. Knowledge of Microsoft office suite as well. My abilities & experience are not limited to previously mentioned items, however they are mainly expertise relating to Architecture as a whole. Other abilities worth noting would be; character rigging & animation, VFX using these plug-in's RayFire, FumeFX, Afterburn, & RealFlow, animated flight simulations including missile launch & impacts, explosions, burning flames & ignitions, fluid dynamic simulations (water, smoke, gas, fire, airborne particles ) Also I have experience in anatomy modeling & animation along with medical device illustration & animation. Thank You for your time, Wil Vaughn [email protected] www.archinect.com/Wil.Vaughn www.wilvaughndesigns.com
