2001

Torres studies computer graphics at Mesmer 3D Animation Labs in Seattle, WA. His thesis is a detailed New York City model with the WTC intact, made to create a usable set for future projects. He uses SGI and Intel Xeon workstations with Maya software, where each scene takes up to a week to render. The final product is a short fly-through of the city for shaping and future simulations.
