Website Branding

Wasnt sure if this is the section but whatever...

In terms of portfolio websites. I was wondering if it is more ideal to have 2D and 3D on a separate website, or have them on the same site together.

Hi, I'm not that familiar to portfolio websites. However, according to a friend here, It is much better to have the 2D and 3D on a separate website especially if you have a personal website:)

Surely it depends on what role you want to work in and where you're applying to?

I'd keep them on one site but make sure your primary area of interest is the first thing people see and anything else is secondary.

I don't know the 100% answer but I would think for 3d artists, having some of both could be beneficial on one site. Considering how often you see the verbiage, "2d/concepting skills a plus", in adds for 3d artists.

Only show your best work. If that's 3d and 2d great. If not have a tumblr/blog for the stuff that isn't at quality yet (I do this with my 2d work).

For a role as a 3D Artist it can be very beneficial to show strong 3D and 2D, so I would say have some of both on your website. However, your 3D work will always be the most important and you should only show 2D if it is of a very good quality.

If you have good skills, there's no reason not to show them all on the same website. Just categorize them well you're golden.

I gave a talk years ago when I was teaching. It's on branding for Game Artists. Some of the info is old but the concepts might help.

As others have said, as long as the quality of work is good then yes. Just make sure to categorize/separate 3D from 2D. Don't just throw them all together in the same section.

I had the complicated idea of keeping my main site as my personal blogs and such, but keep stuff like 2d.iadagraca.com or 3d.iadagraca.com (which i probably would just link to sketchfab.me for now) . Those two I would just give to people looking for portfolio. It's easy enough to set up.
