Welcome to Bruce Lamond's Home Page

  I'm from Dundee, Scotland, now living in Los Angeles with my wife and kids. After school I worked as a croupier for six years interspersed with some World travel before graduating from the University of Edinburgh in Geology in 2000. My thesis was a study of multiple-event metamorphism in the northwestern Italian Alps. After a further year croupiering in Cameroon I returned to study at the University of Edinburgh for a Master's degree in Informatics. My thesis was about recovering 3D structure from 2D images. I then spent a year and a half as a researcher in computer graphics/vision at the Edinburgh Virtual Environment Centre (EdVEC) designing a system to create compact but detailed 3D models from laser scans and digital images (Hybrid Rendering). From 2005-2010 I worked as a programmer and analyst at the University of Southern California Institute for Creative Technologies Graphics Lab where I was responsible for our commercially available High Dynamic Range image processing software, HDR Shop, and worked on several image-based research projects. Currently I am working as a developer in the visual effects industry with Stereo D creating the next generation of 2D to 3D software. Besides these interests I love to catch people & places in digital images, hike and ski in the mountains, play guitar and badminton and make furniture.
