Background

About Nick Pappas

Since 2001 I have been an experienced environment artist and 3d generalist for video games and interactive media. At Nerve Software and Ritual Entertainment I helped ship over 14 PC and console titles as well as contributed to a equal number of small games, pitches, and cancelled titles. I started my game career in the animation department. I soon became an environment artist to fill the needs of the studio, which is something I've always tried to do with any project. I'll basically do any art related task to make sure the project gets as much headway as it needs in order to make it to the shelf. I try to ensure the art is balanced between aesthetics and optimization to provide a smooth and immersive player experience. I've also constantly shared my knowledge with those new to the industry to turn them into talented contributing team members. I also voluntarily taught high school students modeling, texturing, and animation to help them win a large national competition called F.I.R.S.T. The students won equipment and software for them and their technology department.
