Martin Dahlin

<p>Hello,<br/>My name is <b>Martin </b>and I'm a <b>Technical Artist</b> from Stockholm.<br/>I went to PlaygroundSquad in 2009-2010 studying 3D Graphics. After my education I worked as a 3D Artist for 4 years after transitioning to Technical Art in Jan 2016.</p><p>I have decided to keep my original profile here on PSQ for historical reasons. It might be nice to some people to see how things have developed since I was a student here. The only thing that has changed since then is my portfolio (found below), this intro text and I also decided to translate my original presentation into English.</p><p>If you are an anspiring Artist or Developer who are curious about the <b>Technical Art</b> craft and would like to know more about what it involves, please feel free to contact me.<br/><br/><a href="http://www.martin.dahlin.net">www.martin.dahlin.net</a></p>\n<hr/><p>Hello. My name is Martin and I'm a 25 year old guy from Dalarna, Sweden.</p><p>In high school I studied science and technology in Mora and I graduated in 2004. I worked a bit after that and then applied to the Web Design programme in Sundvall (Mid Sweden University). It wasn't the best of my decisions and I ended up being incredibly disappointed by the education and university studies in general. In other words: I figured out pretty late that Game Development is something I should've studied instead considering that I've always been interested in Video games ever since I was about 4 or 5 years old.</p><p>My other interests are: Graphical design, computers, TV shows and movies, Sci-Fi, science, psychology, WWII and Electronic Dance Music. I like most stuff within this branch of music but I'm mostly into Trance, Ambient, Drum n Bass, Goa/Psy, Breakbeat, Video Game Music and House music. ;)</p><p>Before I started at PSQ I've mostly done some level design and modding for Half-Life 2, Quake 2 and Far Cry 2 - but also done some modding and data-extraction stuff for games like World of Warcraft and Civilization. I also have previous experience of Adobe Photoshop (and I consider myself relatively good at it), vector graphics (Flash and Freehand MX) and a little bit of Game Dev (30 ECTS) in the form of ZBrush and Level Design.<br/></p>\n<p><b>Game Project 1 - Eggnappers</b> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43nTXs_Jus0">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0ouCsusHP4</a> (winner of "Gamer's choice" - Swedish Game Awards 2010)</p>\n<p><b>Switch</b> - our submission tol Global Game Jam 2010 (download) <a href="http://www.globalgamejam.org/2010/switch">http://www.globalgamejam.org/2010/switch</a></p>\n<p><b>The making of Switch </b>(behind the scenes) <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTWatuULLv0">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTWatuULLv0</a></p>\n<p><b>Game Project 2 - Fused </b>(SGA-page) <a href="http://gameawards.se/competition_entries/505">http://gameawards.se/competition_entries/505</a></p>\n<p><b>Fused</b> (latest videon) <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVb_9154zFo">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVb_9154zFo</a></p>\n<p>Fused official SGA game trailer <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVb_9154zFo">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ejwzYdTfi4</a></p>\n<p><b>Game Project 3 - Tales of Towers</b> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXkCaEsYHBk">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXkCaEsYHBk </a></p>
