Ask any 5 artist's about Wayne Robson and you'll get 5 different opinions..and usualy none of them are the right one. He has worked for Cartoon Network, taught the artists at CCP who make the game 'Eve Online' and gave the 2009 lecture at Siggraph on Autodesk Mudbox and much more. He is also often brought into find unique solutions to difficult problems in pipelines at various companies for everything from cinematics to Games, TV and film. Wayne is also one of the people behind the conception of the 'iDog' that is a worldwide sucess (If your not familiar with the iDog please feel free to google and youtube search it.)

Although his main applications are Mudbox, 3Ds max combined with Topogun and Headus UVLayout Wayne uses a number of bespoke apps and plugins of his own as required in pipelines.

He started life as an escape artist and still holds a world record that to this day remains unbroken. So as such comes from a rather different background to most 3D artists. As such he performed all over the world and won many awards. Due to a bizarre co-incidence of the 80's financial depression here in the UK and a health problem at the time Wayne moved into different areas. After a while making a living as a session musician and guitar teacher he discovered the wonders of all things art related on a computer. He currenlty lives in the Derwent Valley with his wife and 2 young children.

Wayne is available for selected live events and demonstrations as well as on site training. He also hosts on demand video tuition on MudboxHub.com.

His ‘hobbies' when he actually has time to fit them in, include recording his own songs (6 albums and counting), programming, a rather scary film addiction, drawing monsters for his son, pulling faces for his daughter and doing very long walks in the deep countryside. He also likes to write about himself in the 3rd person, and has what has been called a 'unique' sense of humour that often seems to drive people slowly crazy.
