In\u00a0collaboration with The Vesuvius Group<\/a>, I\u00a0was tasked to create a modular set of cretaceous sea creatures for the\u00a0American Museum of Natural History in summer of 2013<\/a>. \u00a0The project required three animals \u2013 a coelecanth, mosasaur and cretoxyrhina \u2013 to be\u00a0made for use with a summer program developed for children attending a summer camp program at the museum. With these constituent parts, participants were able to create their own creatures, apply up to four different looks to them, assign behaviours and set their creature free in the ocean to see how they would interact with their environment.<\/p>\n

I\u00a0modelled, textured, animated and broke down all components for use in the project, and later in June of 2014, provided an additional set of three creatures for use in this mix & match activity (frill shark, goblin shark, ichthyosaur), along with two additional creatures for use as food items and avatars.<\/p>\n
