  Center for Teaching and Learning

  Jun 2009 - Jan 2011

  3D Modeling & Texturing Intern

  I helped create & manage the University of Texas' presence within the virtual world of Second Life (www.secondlife.com). I designed and assembled "virtual office spaces" in which university professors could meet with their students remotely, via in-world interaction between 3D avatars. I also recreated the UT Tower within Second Life. In order to make the model as realistic as possible, I took a complete photographic survey of the UT Tower exterior, corrected lens distortions in Adobe Photoshop, imported the images into Second Life, and textured the model with true-to-life accuracy.
