Rob Holmes: 3D Illustrator/Animator, Photographer

Even before my days in NC State School of Design, I was drawn to the power of creating images that express what words alone cannot. I began my career as a commercial photographer in 1981, compiling an impressive portfolio of celebrities, product and food shots. Special effects, however, became both my hallmark and passion. It was this love for special effects that led to my evolution as a 3D artist.

In 1995, I founded NVision, a 3D design and animation firm with production capability ranging from photorealistic illustrations to virtual architectural walk-throughs. NVision’s clients rely on me to bring their concepts, products, communications and buildings to life – whether the project is already tangible or still in blueprint stage. My skill as a photographer enables me to seamlessly integrate the reality with the vision.

When I'm not in the studio, I can be found bailing out friends and colleagues from their computer jams or on the water. An avid sailor, I recently completed a racing vessel voyage from St. Maarten to Annapolis. Eight days at sea left me filled with inspiration and ideas – and ready to empower your next project.
