[Portfolio] - ArtsyFartsy small image dump

ArtsyFartsy

I'm upgrading my portfolio and I was hoping to get some advice on which pieces I should include. Is it normal to look at old work which you were very proud of at the time, and now see nothing but flaws in it?

I only want to keep 4 or 5 of these so please tell me which ones you like best.

Also please look at what's already on the site and give me some opinions on those. Especially the traditional section. I haven't gotten any feedback on my stuff in a year.

I am about to redesign the layout. It will still be utilitarian like it is now, but i'm hoping a bit more contemporary looking.

One major thing to point out about these images is that they are all high poly, and lit with global illumination techniques. That's not exactly "game-ready" but the project required pre-rendered backgrounds and that's what I did.

Super many thanks in advance.

P.S.
I will get yelled at if I don't stamp the big copyright logo.

I like the work, but yeah, I would much rather see in game stuff only, instead of the fancy renders and high poly stuff.

Nice work!

oh right - i was thinking whats with the yelloooooww... right the yellow room nice accurate modeling - though some props look a bit over-saturated/bright, or maybe thats the actual garish decor on the real-life furniture....

They're all good even though they're not in-game rez, but I esp. like that last one, where you can see every object on its own.

looking excellent!

no offense to you, but man i hate visualization and fancy rendering/lighting and shit lol. Seeings things like these reminds me why i fell in love with game art in the first place :P

Well I'm still very glad you like them.

Working on these I was very conscious of the fact that they may be hard to market for other gaming jobs. Blame the "casual" gamer I guess. But then again most adventure games follow this kind of design style with the pre-renders. Gears of War is sooo 2008. Pre-rendered backgrounds is the way of the future:thumbup:


I must say that all those procedural specular maps, and fresnel reflections were a lot of fun. They should try to incorporate them into game engines.

Lot's of portfolio threads lately.

I finished updating my site. For anyone who really likes the layout, FORGET IT. Getting the javascript to work was a nightmare, and it took forever to find a config that worked across all browsers.

Everything is up for critique. I won't be sure of anything until you guys give me some opinions.

Thanks
