Eric Wysocki attended The Art Institute of Philadelphia, right out of high school. He had some formal training in the fine arts, but lacked all knowledge of the digital world. Eric jumped into the Media Arts and Animation program knowing it was considered the most difficult major in the school. Once he was exposed to the computer technology that The Art Institute had of offer, he caught on quickly and became very interested in the media. Begin able to transfer ideas and concepts from traditional drawing and painting into computer graphics was a huge part of Eric’s idea of becoming a “well rounded artist.” What was once unknown to him turned out to be an enjoyable hobby/passion as well as a successful career.

Eric started as an intern for his current employer, which led to a part-time position that finally evolved into a fulltime career upon graduation. Today he is a Multimedia Technician I in Exponent’s Visual Communication Group.  His experience includes modeling, lighting, texturing, and animation of real world objects into a scaled 3-D computer environment, including the recreation of people, buildings, vehicles, machines, landscapes and precision objects from CAD drawings. Eric recreates conceptual drawings and ideas using various forms of digital software, into carefully thought-out compositions. His work also includes simulation of the weather, using a variety of particle simulators. He has worked on projects that include computer animation of accident recreations and simulations, court boards, trial presentations, and posters.
