Professor Profile: Wayne Robson

For this professor profile we speak to Wayne Robson. Many of you may know him from either his Vue digital environment / modelling courses here at fxphd (MOD 301 and MOD 302), or from his extensive work with Mudbox around the net. But as you will see in this video there are a few interesting, inescapable aspects of his past, as Mike Seymour found out when they spoke recently.
