[Portfolio] - Andr

Wahlgren

Hey guys. I would appreciate some thoughts on my page. Don't have enough stuff? Anything I need more of? More zbrush stuff? Is the text to hard on the eyes? Lots of thoughts yea...

Been thinking about running away on a fishing ship instead. Maybe fight some nazis in the djungles and quest for some hidden inca gold.

Thank you.


EDIT: I do have some more things I want to do. Maybe render individual pieces from the unearthly scene and place under the main images. Got some age of conan assets I could put in aswell.

rollin

me likes.. simple and clean design

and the "portfolio of" writing makes it bit more dynamic looking

but why can I scroll so far down the page into the empty space?!

btw: some nice rendered highpoly models are always good. But imo it counts more what you can produce with it.. depends on what you're aiming for.

I like the layout, but I hate the lightbox oh so much. I only looked at one image because of it.

edit: am i alone in this partially irrational hatred? I really don't know.

bounchfx

site works well, but two things:

yeah, why can I scroll down so far? and linking to polycount seems kinda weird. might want to keep everything portfolio related on your site self contained within the website.

looks cool though, I dig! reminds me that I have to make myself a new one sometime within the next 5 years.

Wahlgren

Yeah about the vertical bug, I gotta fix that.

Rollin. I'm in the process of doing a few high polies now so I'll get them up there as they are being finished. Thanks.

Bounchfx. I was thinking it might be a cool way to show off "me in action" and give some behind the scenes images while at it. But yeah, Maybe i should put some of it on the page instead.

What about my work? Is it ok? I thought i did fine but i haven't heard from anyone. Guess i need more cool and advanced stuff. The current state of the industry might also be a factor, Nobody wants to hire. Been thinking that it might be better to go into commericals and movies. They don't seem to have been hit that hard... or at all... and there's quite a bit more studios/jobs around.

whats_true

Your site should look like this

http://boards.polycount.net/showthread.php?t=66330

Yes, its your page, but it reads because we get all the images, and if we want a closer look, they gett bigger. Same thing for your site. Click the thumb, opens up to a new page. We see the images. If we want to get a closer look, then use the light box thing.

As for the work, its good dude. nothing to complain about.



on a note, Irrational Games is looking for Level Builders (aka: envirnonment artist) hint hint hint

Wahlgren

I'm gonna look into changing the pictures as soon as possible and redo the whole viewing thing. I got an idea that might work.

What's true. Thanks. I'd love to man, really would... big fan of boston and it's music (Big dropkick fan for example, got the shirt on me now even) aswell as 80% of their games but you probably missed out i'm swedish. I don't think they'd bother but I'll try.

emptyslot

haha yo andreas.. nice seeing you here.. i was impressed with the stuff you have and i think its just enough to get through.. the layout is nice and i like the overall look. arent you working for Funcom anymore? ill talk to you later see ya

Wahlgren

Empty; Andr

Wahlgren

Did a new update. I'm aware of the horizontal scrollbar thing. I will try to iron it out as soon as I can. At least it's not as bugged as it was before.

I'm also working hard to give you new awesome stuff to see. I gotta prove myself now! WOO!

aesir

loving it!

chrisradsby

Yeah great portfolio mate, I really need to fix mine.

Chrisis

Content is amazing. I only have sth to say about the html
Aside from giving background-image, also assign a background color that's close to the background. With css the bg should get loaded first, but it seems to me your UC page does not use css. All I'm saying is that the cool gray background loaded on me when I had already reached a third of the UC page, and all I was thinking was "man what's with all the white".
Good luck with whatever you're gonna use this portfolio for!

Wahlgren

Thanks guys. Guess all is good and well now then. Hehe.

Catachirsm. I'lls ee what I can do. I struggle with that code every time I look at it. Hehe. It's just hacked together with rusty nails and tape right now

Ged

quality work man! some really really nice ones are quite far down the page but I kept going so I imagine most will see them.

vofff

Yo you forgot a small details. I suggest add a text beside your name "environment artist" Some people sometimes dont know what really you are searching for.

Wahlgren

I assume they know what I do and what I'm searching for when they see my work. I also start all my mails with something along the lines of "Experienced hard surface / environment artist looking for work" which also helps getting that across.

Thanks anyway

Xoliul

Hey Andre, can i use that image of the toaster or the chairs and tables for my shader page? I really like what you did with the restaurant props and my shader, different from the usual stuff. I'll give full credit and link to your site, naturally.

Wahlgren

Sure go ahead Xoliul. It's the least I could do for you. I love your shader (although I'd love to get a glow/neon-kinda thing if it was possible). I use it aaaaaaaaall the time.

Progg

Beautiful work and presentation.

carlo_c

I like the variety of work, nice to see different things.
