Best Of

My intention was not be hurtful in any way. I realise that the way I phrased it may have sounded mean, whereas I was trying to be direct.

I can give a few more specific comments. The low poly truck says in the caption that it's 20K triangles. If you're going for such a low poly count I think it's a questionable decision to have that that orange circle on the side modeled with geometry, especially with what looks like an inset around it. There is no wireframe of this vehicle, so it's hard to know where the rest of the triangles are being spent. I have to say it does look a bit blocky for 20K, and since it looks like the is wasted geometry on the circular detail, one wonders about the efficiency of the rest of the geometry. Why not use a texture map instead? It looks like you use textures on the headlights, so I assume there's no technical reason that you can't... I can't tell for sure (because again, no wireframes, no detail shots) but it looks like you might have modeled in some of the headlight detail. Given that these are low detail models, I presume they're intended to be seen from afar? If you're going to model the headlight elements, then you should model the interior too.

There are five vehicles shown in this project, but only one deserves a proper render? Why not render all of them? I stand by my comment that viewport screenshots don't look nice and they look lazy and unprofessional. Wireframes should be given the same attention as regular renders.

well i really didn't want to do this, but since there are some many Industry higher ups , can you have a look at my artstation and give some feedback. it's like a desert out there lately , so I must be doing something wrong
maybe its just my age, but I can't just always assume the worst and a lot of jobs are remote anyway these days
maybe my cv is just no good?

You asked for people in the industry to look at your artstation to give feedback, and you say that you "must be doing something wrong". That's what I'm doing. I know you say that you think that "stylistically they look pretty good", but you don't get a job based on what you think of your work, you get a job based on what others think. I'm in the (games) industry, and my honest, constructive feedback is that a most of these projects are really letting down the best few. And the presentation is letting all of them down. I have some junior colleagues who got a job with one or two pieces in their porfolios - that's how selective you should be.

I'm definitely not gonna get into a tit-for-tat, so let me say once again I apologise if I came across as harsh. I hope my second reply gives you more of an insight into what you need to improve.

You are of course free to totally disregard any pointers I give. And I wish you good luck with securing that job.

Can't offer that much of a viable critique concerning your organic stuff since I lack the relevant expertise to do so. However I'd amassed a fair few years assembling cars on a production line under the reputable aegis of global brands such as GM and Nissan, way back as a pimply faced 17yo fresh outta high school then in turn, decades later 3D modeling them as well, alongside other disparate vehicle types from around 2006 or there about's. 

I'm an unrepentant subd heathen although lately been trying to sort of mend my ways, in terms exploring a relative streamlined workflow under tight budget constraints which advice you'd shared via your car thread was an absolute eye-opener I'll certainly test for potential adoption, in perhaps the near future.  Anyway not only technically but also aesthetically, the vehicles should stay they're pretty much an advert acknowledging the artisan proficiency that generated them, to begin with.  

EDIT:

Good luck man, hope this nibble bears fruit  :thumbs up:
