My name is Martin and I'm a 3D artist from Stockholm, Sweden. I currently work as a 3D graphic artist for Polarbit Games - a developer of 3D games and middleware for the mobile and handheld markets. I previously worked at Avalanche Studios on their latest AAA title "Renegade Ops" which was released autumn 2011. Prior to that I studied at a vocational school for game development - focusing on 3D. And before that I studied graphical design, computer science and web design at different universities. I have loved computer games since I was about 5, maybe 4 years old. And I got my first computer when I was 9. If you have any questions about 3D or game development (professional or educational) then I'm more than happy to help you out. Cheers.

0 comments by Niteshade on Nov 14th, 2012

During the last month or two I've continued developing new features for my tool: Nightshade UV Editor. Nightshade UV Editor extends the default functionality of Maya's native UV Texture Editor and comes with a ton of features not otherwise available in Maya.

New features in this version: Straighten UV shell, Orient to edge, Match UVs, Quick unfold, Quick unfold (U or V only), Quick relax, and more buttons to the advanced UV manipulator (store value in variable, add/subtract 10, add/subtract 0.25.

Also added buttons for cycling edge colors and activating the "Select shortest edge path" -tool

Hey! I'm glad to hear that coz everytime -I- look at it I feel that there could be so much improvements and that the portfolio doesn't really reflect my true skill. But thanks for the comment :)

Thanks. I haven't been active here at ModDB for over like, half a year or something. Been kinda low since I've been unemployed that entire time but now things are changing for the better. I got a new job as a graphic artist now starting in a few days. :)

Things are going well over here. A little bit of studying (Computer Science/engineering, I still don't know the correct translation) here, a little bit of attempting to make 2D Java games with 2 classmates there... :P It's all pretty enjoyable so I have nothing to complain about, except for the unmotivated and annoying 90% of my class maybe.

A word of advice is to never hang around with people who drag you down. Good luck with your education.
