My name is Robert G Graf, but most people call me Bob or Goof. I live near College Station, Texas where I am studying for a Master of Science in Visualization Sciences. I've always had a fascination with the visual arts and physical sciences. I am now discovering ways to marry traditional art mediums and computers that involve interdisciplinary tracks including studio art, mathematics, physics, and computer science. My primary interest areas include visual effects for feature films and photorealistic rendering with supporting interests in physically-based modeling, ray tracing, videography, photography, drawing, and painting.
January 30, 2010 : New Job Coming Summer 2010
About 15 years ago, I discovered a dream where I would make 3D animated films for a living. It was a long, challenging, and rewarding journey, but all of that was worth it because the time has come. DreamWorks Animation, Disney, and Pixar Animation Studios are all great companies to work for. I recently accepted an offer to work with Pixar as an Effects Technical Director resident. The position will start summer 2010. I am very greatful to have had an opportunity to be involved with all three of these studios in the past couple of years. Special thanks goes to all my family, friends, colleagues, and these studios for the wonderful support and encouragement that they have given to this day.
