It was a great place to learn all about creating graphics for real time interactive productions. We created many games in different styles, some pre rendered in a 2.5D engine and others fully immersive 3D environments. We wrote our own game engine to run them on and so had to adapt it to fit the needs of the current game we were making. As well as creating the models I would texture and rig them and often have to create animations as well. Learning all about loops and overlap anim and creating textures for the environment that would tile seamlessly. When I joined I had previously been using 3D Max as my CGI tool but the studio used Maya. I explained that I did not know Maya so was told I start in 3 weeks, here is the manual! I stayed up late every evening going through the manual (before YouTube was invented) and learnt it chapter by chapter.

Judging computer games takes a lot of dedication as you need to play a lot of games for long enough to properly experience them enough.

Here are some of the games we created while at Deep Red: I continue to use the skills learnt when making these games when working on interactive projects at Aardman.
