“Cajun is one of the most versatile Modelers we have on our team. Here at
Luma we strive to give the artists a wide variety of challenges so that they
can grow their skill set and don't get pigeon holed into being just one kind
of modeler. Caj has a real eye for the types of details that are important
to creating realistic models and has proven himself by surprising us again
and again with his creativity and flexibility.”

Vice President, Luma Pictures

BEHIND THE SCENES (BTS) is a new and
exciting DVD series developed to showcase the creation of a
game cinematic sequence. The series follows a team of artists
as they demonstrate their production techniques from concept
phase to final rendered animation. This chapter in the series
focuses on the creation of the character Geo, a seasoned veteran
of numerous infiltration missions. Cajun Hylton takes the viewer
step-by-step through the 3D modeling process, from simple proxy
to final model using Maya and ZBrush. The viewer also gets
to go behind the scenes and witness actual production meetings
that discuss the design and creation of the character.
