Eric Smith
Technical Director
http://www.stillwaterpictures.com/
Eric lives in Santa Maria, CA, and runs Stillwater Pictures, a small studio whose primary goal is to produce feature length animated film projects. Eric landed in 3d in 1997 and found it to be the perfect blend of the things he really like about art: illustration, photography, and the dynamic aspect of time and animation. While doing R&D on the rigs for their film project Eric and his partner Brian Pace began developing an auto-rigger that would eventually become Maestro. They were so pleased with the results that they decided to bring it to the LightWave masses. Outside of his movie project Eric also works on product design, from artificial tree branches to airplanes. Eric also continues to do a little graphic design and photography when the need arises. |
