Summary

My name is Mike Nixon and i am a 3D artist living in Adelaide Australia. I graduated from Adelaide University with a Bachelors Degree in Architecture and continued on to get a Masters Degree in Design in Digital Media. I then moved onto to working in the training simulation space, creating simulations for the mining industry, constructive, automotive and medical. I worked mainly within Maya, but branched out into working directly in Unity. I have since been striving to update my portfolio with personal pieces that i feel reflect my skills as an artist and challenge what i am used to creating. I have a passion for film, TV and games and strive to get my work up to a professional standard.
