Brock Williams, General Artist, EON Reality - April 11, 2011

Lead Environment Artist, queSPECK Studios “An-Tim is one of the most hard working people I know, if not the hardest working person. He's constantly pushing himself and his work to the very farthest place imaginable. He holds his jobs in high esteem and makes sure to get his jobs done quickly, correctly, and to the best of his ability.”

“An-Tim is a great guy, one of those people who doesn't let things get him down. With a drive to succeed, and willingness to help and mentor others, he has established himself as a valuable player within the team setting. Continuing down this path, will surely bring him much success, admiration for his work as well as his character.”
Ross Lashway, World Builder/Level Designer/3D Modeller, queSPECK Studios - August 5, 2010

“While working with An-Tim on The Hunt and several other game mod projects it's become very apparent to me that some people were simply meant to be in this industry. An-Tim has a lot of passion for what he does, and is pretty damned good at doing it too. I enjoyed and learned a lot from working with him in the past and look forward to hopefully end up working with him in the future. He would be an incredibly valuable asset to any game studio.”

“An-Tim is one of the hardest workers I know. Not only that, but he's also an amazing wealth of knowledge. When An-Tim is given a task he doesn't just accomplish that task, but he delves into it. He goes above and beyond what is asked of him every time and the result is not only great artwork, but game-changing technological discoveries and great optimization techniques.

The game we worked on together, The Hunt, would not have been able to be pulled off had it not been for An-Tim. His extensive knowledge of the Unreal Engine led to us being able to use cutting edge features, making our game look much better than expected. His artwork was also beautiful, consisting of many hand painted natural textures.

He was also the lead of the Environments team, and as such he managed a group of three to five artists at any given time, and worked closely with the level designers, lead programmer, and lead artist. He was great at motivating his team, I could always rely on him getting his work in on time without having to push him. He was also the best mediator between different teams that I could ever ask for. His knowledge of the Unreal engine coupled with his knowledge of art asset pipelines made him the one that, more often than not, bridged the gap between art and programming.

With An-Tim you get not only a hard worker, but also an intelligent one that never stops learning and goes out of his way to know everything about the project he's working on, both creatively and technically.”

“An-Tim is the kind of guy that doesn't stop learning. He is always up to date with the latest technology in game art. The great thing about An-Tim is that he is always willing to help and teach a colleague. I myself have gain knowledge from him.”
Jake Baet, Technical Artist, queSPECK Studios - August 3, 2010

Student, The Art Institute of California - Orange County “An-Tim Nguyen is an excellent young game artist. Until just recently, I have been An-Tim's instructor for the 3D lighting and game art senior project classes for several quarters at Art Institute of California, Orange County. I found his talent and passion in Game Arts consistently enthusiastic and amazing. An-Tim has outstanding 3D modeling, texturing and lighting skills in making game props and environments in both 3ds Max and UDK engine. In the big students’ game project “The Hunt”, He is also able to successfully complete multiple tasks in making all kinds of special effects and environment arts with favorable results despite deadline pressure. To conclude, I would like to restate my strong recommendation for An-Tim Nguyen. Tommy B, Cho”

“An-Tim is as dedicated as they come. You will have a hard time finding an artist that is as dedicated to their craft as he is. He is a serious worker that knows when it is time to work and when it is time to play. As a student he continuously pushes himself to be the best, both for the team and for his personal goals. He is an excellent team player and knows what a project needs, often before the need can be addressed. An-Tim knows how to get the job done and I can personally state that I have no issues with going to An-Tim when I need something done on a project. He will do what is asked and exceed expectations.”

“An-Tim is a Great 3D artist; I had the chance to work with him in “CARTEL” a project developed to participate in the famous “Make Something Unreal” contest. His variety of art skills, enthusiasm, and professionalism made him a key resource in the project. Definitely, An-Tim would be a great addition to any company.”
