These animations were part of a 10-minute marketing video promoting Valvoline products to international markets. The presentation consists of five main segments shot on location in various countries. Each segment is introduced with an animated sequence showing a high-tech interface that scans a country's topography and displays some demographic data. The video is introduced and concluded with animated sequences showing an orbital view of the Earth.

This animation was used as part of a promotional video to raise funds for the construction of the new Papa John's Cardinal Stadium at the University of Louisville in Kentucky. Design plans for this luxury box suite were not yet available, so as part of the project, I was asked to create the interior layout and architecture.

While in school working on my architecture degree, I taught computer modeling and animation classes to other architecture students. For one of my assignments , I provided my students with a modeled scene that I created of some marbles, dice, and other game trinkets. Their assignment was to apply colors, textures, and lighting, then ray trace the scene using MicroStation.

This image is my own personal rendering of this scene. The rendered image was submitted to MicroStation Manager magazine where it was selected to be the cover image for the October 1996 issue.
