Ok I'm 2 models away from my latest and greatest demoreel to date and my question is; I seen alot of demoreels out there for character modeling for games/movies and i dont see alot of low-poly models in the demoreels. So In my demoreel should I just skip over on low-poly models and stick to the hi-poly models?

Thanks in advance

ps. On console games does anyone know the new baseline for standard models seen in gameplay? Mines are averaging out between 1.5k -2k.

1.5k to 2k is definitely on the extremely low end, 7k-30k is about the normal range for current gen console games. Most video game artists skip demo reels, a image based portfolio is just a good and quicker for potential employers to look at.

Can you provide an example of how they set it up? Trying to step out on the best foot possible
