"Rockside River," marked by intricate details and animations, exemplified his dedication. Additionally, "Sunset Raceway," a rapid transformation of an existing model, showcased his adaptability. Following this period, "Volcano Beach 3" emerged as a standout, featuring advanced features, animations, and vertex colors.
