As simple as it gets...

Cool as ice Welcome to ericRHEA, the personal website of the guy by the same name. I hope to help satisfy the curious and inform those with specific needs (recruiters, this means you!).

What an amazing 2009.

Business is up, up, and away! I'm currently engaged in a project. If you'd like to talk to me about being involved in my next project, then email me at eric@rsnotebook.com.

Design

I'm capable of modeling most architectural structures and some organic forms using applications suited for the task, including animations and working exports for game and media engines. I've modeled towns, buildings, and various vehicles. I'm familiar with UVW mapping, the difficulties in skinning and apply biped animations, and other challenges in the design process of the 3D pipeline. I'm not too shabby with photoshop, either.

I understand most complexities behind game world design and related theory: dungeon building for groups, town placement, questing, merchants and the like. I've designed, operated and continuously played my own online games to achieve higher levels of quality and have written various articles on the subject.

I've written a book about the design challenges and complexities of running a small business. The book is in print.

The Red Regiment

One of my home projects is The Red Regiment, which is a book series of mine written by outstanding authors and maintained by yours truly. The Red Regiment (TRR) is going on three years now and is going strong. I've a number of updates planned throughout the year that'll be quite exciting.
