Team UGC began cosplaying in 2013 as a two person team. Founded officially in 2014 as a competition duo, they competed and won their first best in show for Alphonse Elric. Since then, they have gone on to win 4 consecutive best in show awards in under 2 years, most recently winning best in show at Wizard World New Orleans 2016. The concept behind Team UGC is simple: teach. Understanding building methods and pushing information out there is the most important goal and entire reason this group was formed.
Tripp the Tech, also known as UberGeek Tripp: One half of the founding members of team UGC, Tripp specializes in the tech factors of all of the fabrications. His roles includes all of the 3d modeling, pepakura, lighting effects, coding and generally giving the wow factor to everything we do. Want to know how to make something work? Need to understand the technical aspects of creating effects and lighting? Ask Tripp. With over 12 years in the computer/coding industry, he is the go to guy in team UGC for all things technical.
Cayne the creator, also known as UberGeek Cayne: As the other half of the founding members, Cayne began 15 years ago sewing. Her role is concept, design and execution of the cosplays. No detail is too small for her nor is anything safe! Cayne like pulling from any and all aspects of cosplay building. Foam, leather, bondo, Sintra and of course fabrics, if it sits still long enough, it will get put in a cosplay. Cosplay on a budget? Need to understand how to modify a pattern using only some duct tape and twine? Ask Cayne.
