Technical Artist
Dean Scott
About
Hello and welcome to my portfolio website.
​
For future reference, my surname was changed to Scott.
​
I am a technical artist in the computer graphics industry. I've been trained by numerous industry veterans at Full Sail University who have worked on classic traditional animation films such as The Lion King and Brother Bear. As well as in the gaming industry on titles such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. I graduated with a BS in Computer Animation in 2016.
I specialize in character rigging and VFX. I've also developed pipeline toolsets as well as look development projects that range from material and lighting setups to rendering and compositing workflows. In order to properly perform my role in a given pipeline, I have learned to be a jack of all trades.
​
I have needed to take several breaks during my professional career in order to act as the sole caregiver for a disabled family member with complex neurological conditions. I've received numerous training and certifications as a result.
​
I was able to use my time wisely and achieved a second BS in Information Technology with a Minor in Cisco-based networking in 2021 at Capella University. After graduating, I worked as a software developer for a time.
​
Throughout all my varied life experiences, I've still sought a career in the computer graphics industry. I'm determined to make my dream a reality by seeing my digital creations come to life, whether that's on the big screen or on someone's gaming machine.
