Jon Tojek has been doing Computer Graphics since 1990 at UW Madison.  While going to University there for Electrical Engineering and working as a Novell sysadmin for the computer labs he always noticed the SGI Crimson with Power Animator in the Visualization lab at the end of the hallway.  He convinced the dean of Nuclear Engineering that he could animate and render his tech ideas great with this machine and use the images to pitch project ideas.  During college he made many walk thru videos and animations for fun, then after graduating in ECE immediately went to work in the commercial making business doing graphics at Cybertoons in Milwaukee, and dozens of places after that.

  1. Mr. Tojek….

    Possibly my favorite single act of rebellion occurred when you were tasked by Martin with creating a demonstration for I believe, a power tool company. If you could have seen the look on Marin’s face when instead of a drill, a coffin popped up on the screen. Things just got more amazing when a zombie popped out.

    I thought I was gonna fuckin die.

  2. I remember that. Doing those Maya demos was fun, but often I did get into trouble. Bungee jumping Jesus to show the new spring dynamics of Maya was enough to have management ask me to stop.
