Erik Jamison

Erik Jamison is one of the original character artists brought in to 3D Scan, Texture, and Animate the high-res conversations for the first Fallout game at Interplay/Black Isle.

Career
Teamed closely with Leonard Boyarsky and Scott Rodenhizer, Erik took the sketched reference and sculpted figure heads to create the living face-to-face characters where your speech choices, mixed with your skill stats, determined the story and outcome of the game.

Utilizing video reference of the Voice Actor's performances, the inhabitants grew to become formidable characters in a method that later evolved as industry standard with facial motion capture and layering with artistic enhancement opportunities. Erik better utilized this technique in his next projects, including Star Trek: Vulcan Fury, Parasite Eve,  Final Fantasy: Spirits Within (film),  Area 51,  Gladiator: The Crimson Reign, and more for the hordes that followed Interplay.
