Ben Cloward

CG Supervisor at Bioware Austin

I'm a technical artist with over 15 years of experience in the game industry. I'm the co-author of ShaderFX, a 3ds Max plugin that allows artists to create real-time shaders using a familiar node-based interface. I'm also an instructor for Cg Academy and the creator of a series of training DVDs for teaching artists to create shaders in HLSL. Specialties: I enjoy rigging and animating characters, creating tools in MaxScript, writing shaders in HLSL and Cg, creating particle systems and effects, and generally making games look cool.
