Kirk Backus created various 3D models, animations, and renderings using Autodesk software like AutoCAD, 3DS Max, and Mental Ray between 2008-2009. Some examples include a gear model created in AutoCAD 2008 and rendered in 3DS Max 2009, a house modeled in Architectural Desktop 2008 and rendered in 3DS Max 2009, and animations of explosions, airplanes, soldiers and more rendered with Mental Ray in 3DS Max 2009. Rigid body dynamics were also done using Reactor for several projects.
