About Ryan Reed

I have always held a deep respect and admiration for immersive experiences and detailed worlds like those of Middle Earth, Mass Effect, and Elder Scrolls. Out of that love, I've developed a passion for creating interesting, plausible, cohesive spaces for players to explore. I've also always been passionate about simple, well-executed mechanics that can lead to emergent gameplay. These two appreciations form the foundation of my work. From a more day-to-day perspective, I am an artist with a mind for the technical. I strive to create beautiful art as efficiently as I can, taking advantage of scripting, shading, automation, and other tricks to speed up processing time both in production and at runtime. My first major specialty was modular environment design and I still employ those skills whenever I can. Favorite Tools: Blender, Photoshop, Substance Designer/Painter, Unity Also Known: 3D Studio Max, Illustrator, ZBrush Currently Learning: Houdini
