  • I’ve had the pleasure of working directly with Josh on assets at Industrial Light & Magic for around six years, and he’s truly a joy to work with. I always look forward to texturing his models because his work exemplifies ‘film quality’. His models are always a pleasure to texture, with just as much attention to detail in the topology, grouping and UVs. Simply put, Josh makes my job as a texture artist much easier.

Josh is one of those artists who always wants his work to be the best it can be, with a great understanding of modeling techniques that allow him to work efficiently, with clean and polished execution. Josh’s passion for hard-surface vehicles was put to great use on many of our shows at ILM. Josh is also a pleasure to work with, a great collaborator and always willing to share his knowledge.
