About Me

Hi! I’m Sam Leeke, a 3D Generalist with a concentration in 3D Modeling and Surfacing and a passion for managing complex projects. I’m a Photogrammetry and VFX artist at Captured Dimensions and I love learning innovative tools in my industry. I used this Capstone Project to push my boundaries and learn new workflows and new software while re-connecting with my love for the video games that I grew up with.

Project Description

Canicular is a “lost” in-development video game from the late 90’s inspired by RPGs like Earthbound, Links Awakening, and Breath of Fire. You traverse seven regions trying to disrupt an evil mega-corp that is changing the idyllic way of life on Canicular.

What is one piece of advice you would provide to new ATEC students?

Find something in ATEC that you love and do it with all your mind, body, and soul because when you’re passionate and talented at something then no one can compete with you.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

I see myself as the Chief of Internal Development and Training at a video game or VFX studio, in Canada or Scotland with a husband and four kids who each have their own PC rig for gaming and art.
