Hello people, I'm Yasin. Joined today
20 years old student at futuregames academy in Sweden, Stockholm. (Gameart school)
I've been doing 3D Art and Programming since 12 years old and my aim is to become a Technical artist (love the idea of being a bridge to close the gap between art department and coders).
Artwise I started with Max and switched over to Maya when I was 16. Though I still use Max from time to time. My programming "career" comes from the indie engine "3D Gamestudio". From there I moved on to C++ and after that to C#.
I enjoy writing shaders in FX Composer or programming winforms apps in C#. Making toolboxes and scripts with MEL is also fun. Though not limited to only these languages as I know C++ and Flash Actionscript 3 to count a couple.
Recently I made a material editor with Winforms for XNA which let's me import a HLSL shader, compile it at runtime. Once compiled, I generate a class for that shader in memory at runtime with all the properties and methods for setting shader parameters/engine known parameters etc.
Once the class is generated I compile it at runtime with reflection and set it to a property grid for editing the values and watch the result in RT. Then I serialize it to XML to save out the artist tweakable params. Works with any shader.fx file, and I use the semantics used by FX composer so it is guaranteed to work within my XNA engine.
Right now my main goal is to build a kick ass showreel, thinking about using Silverlight for my portfolio and hopefully amaze enough to get into the game dev bussiness once I'm done with this education (a year left for internships).
Best regards Yaz!

Exclusive to Discovery Channel, HMS Ark Royal is a brand new eight-part series which follows the nation's most famous flagship aircraft carrier, on what turns out to be her last ever deployment for the Royal Navy. The series will be followed by a one-off documentary, HMS Ark Royal: The Final Journey which charts her final moments as a Navy warship before docking at Portsmouth for the last time.
The access-all-areas series marks the first time a documentary team has filmed aboard HMS Ark Royal on an international deployment since the epic TV series from 1976 "Sailor".
HMS Ark Royal – the fifth warship named after the galleon that led England to victory against the Spanish Armada – has now also been consigned to history. However, when filming began, the crew of the Ark Royal were unaware of its fate.
The series follows the aircraft carrier as it undertakes an emergency mission directed by the Government; participates in international war games with fellow military powers; receives a visit by dignitaries including the PM and ultimately prepares for its final days at sea. HMS Ark Royal captures the incredible dedication and sheer professionalism of the 1000-strong crew of the ship, led by the ship's indomitable Captain, John Clink.
On 6 April 2010, filming commences as the HMS Ark Royal leaves Portsmouth. Almost immediately she is diverted from her mission of joining an international task force assembling at Norfolk in Virginia, to lead "Operation Cunningham", helping to rescue British citizens stranded by the Icelandic ash cloud. For a short period, HMS Ark Royal effectively becomes the UK's only operational airstrip.
After docking for emergency repairs, it's full steam across the Atlantic to join an international task force, with the ship following the "Great Circle" route, navigating through the hazardous iceberg-laden waters that sank the Titanic.
The ship participates in the International Fleet Review where the Queen takes the salute to mark the centenary of the Canadian Navy. And the film crew are present when some very important persons visit the vessel, including our very own Prime Minister David Cameron only weeks after the General Election.
The Naval Strike Wing and the RAF 1 Squadron, which fly the UK's Harrier jets, join the Ark for manoeuvres as she enters the final stages of the deployment – a massive war game with the US military, lasting for several weeks, pushing the HMS Ark Royal's crew to their limits.
As the deployment comes to an end and the pilots fly back to the UK, they are fully unaware that this would be the very last time they will fly their Harriers from the deck of the HMS Ark Royal. As the series was being filmed, Government plans were underway to decommission this legendary aircraft and the HMS Ark Royal.
Throughout the series, viewers see the incredible hardware and aircraft that make up HMS Ark Royal's huge arsenal including the weaponry, ammunition, radar and helicopters, including the Lynx, Sea King and Merlin. And in addition to the Harrier fighter jets, there is even an appearance by the US Osprey aircraft.
Airing on Discovery Channel every week from Tuesday 22nd February at 10.00pm, HMS Ark Royal is an eight-part series offering an incredible insight in the last days of one of the nation's most famous ships, as it exits the world stage for the final time.
HMS Ark Royal: The Final Journey is a one-off special which follows the Discovery series and charts the final moments of the legendary ship as she sails into Portsmouth for the very last time, airing on Tuesday 19th April at 10pm.

Historical Reproduction windows
MK provided 10,700 square feet of historically correct reproduction windows for this project.
After receiving the profiles of the framing of the existing windows, we were able to design a system that matched the existing profiles and also meet the design load requirements.
By being able to reproduce the look of the original windows, MK was able to assist in keeping the façade of this building looking like it was originally built in 1922.
