What is your name and your current occupation?
My name is Chris Houghton and I am a Storyboard Revisionist at Nickelodeon.
What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
I’ve been lucky enough to always have a decent job. Even as a kid, I enjoyed my jobs: cutting lawns, babysitting, farm work. In High School I worked at a small gym for a couple of years but it was a cake job that allowed me to draw most of the time.
What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?Â
I’m most proud of the comic book series my brother Shane and I have created called Reed Gunther. It’s published by Image Comics but before that we self-published the series.

Direct X 12 and the studio behind ‘Final Fantasy’
During Microsoft’s BUILD dev conference, Square Enix showed off a real-time DirectX 12 tech demo called WITCH: Chapter 0 [cry]. True to its name, this demo includes a crying woman. WITCH features 63 million polygons per scene, “six to 12 times more” than what was possible with DirectX 11, Microsoft says. Check out the real-time demo below. While it’s pretty, and it will be AWESOME for in-game play, it still doesn’t sell me on that this is a real human, if only because it’s possible that her ‘design’ was made up by someone who doesn’t truly understand HOW to build a human face. They took parts they liked or gravitated towards, or even used a model to go from but it still doesn’t loo to me like a person.
