Dangerously 3D

3D is the safe place for training dangerous subjects

I developed several training solutions that simulate devices that address dangerous problems. In some cases a detailed digital model was created and used in several modules. In other cases a technique called 2.5-D was used that did not require a model.

In all cases the training objectives justified the time and expense required to develop a 3D solution:


A Rare Critical Situation		Pre-Release Training
	Role: Instructional Designer, Photographer, Trainer, Author (including compositing animations into compositions, programming and design.)		Role: Photographer, Author (including compositing, Design, Interface, Programming)

Device Scarcity		Critical and Dangerous Situations
	Role: Instructional Designer, Photographer, Trainer, Author		Role: Author, including concept design, compositing animations, programming, instructional design and writing)

2.5D Working Example		Expensive Situations
	Role: Author: including concept design, compositing animations, programming, instructional design and writing)		Role: Multimedia Programmer, Animation, Compositing, Fire SFX/Animation
