To whom it may concern:
This is Jasmine Shih, Assistant Producer for JUDOBABY Inc. I have had the pleasure of managing a team of
art interns for our Jerry Rice and Nitus’ Dog Football, a Wii video game title.
JUDOBABY, INC., led by a veteran management team with over 100 years of accumulative professional
experience in game development, including design, art, programming and production, herein introduces
the Official Pet Sports League line of fun, humorous, “pick-up & play” products that innovatively blends
together two of everyone’s all-time favorite amusements, pets and sports.
Josue Portillo was one of the interns on this project. He had created in-game texture maps for
characters (7 breeds of dogs), including Color maps, Bump maps, Gloss maps, AO maps, and blend maps;
all hand painted details. During which time, he had also textured these dogs according to concept
provided by the art team. Additionally, he had made a variation of 7 color maps for each dog included his
personal input for additional color versions.
Josue also created UV mapping for dogs when it was needed, and ensured optimal UV layouts.
I find Josue to be a hard worker, and he takes directions very well, and always ready to jump in and help.
Josue also has great communication skills that provides and support the progress of the project. Josue
would be a great asset as a team member on any project that can use his skills.
Sincerely,
Jasmine Shih
Assistant Producer
