[Portfolio] Nidhin Thomas, Modeling and Texture Artist
polycounter lvl 14
Hi everyone, I have just created my new website with my latest personal work and games that I have developed during my Masters in Games development.
I have recently finished my course and before starting to apply for a job I would like to get feedback on my work and website. Thanks in advance:)

Also, I can't tell how much of the characters is weird camera angle or weird proportions. Pregnant voodoo lady is one of your stronger pieces, why is she at the bottom?
I had a little trouble with this also. At first I couldn't tell if it was a perspective issue. A lot of your models have large heads which makes them look like kid versions of themselves. I'm guessing that was the intention but it's a bit confusing at first. Maybe put the woman up top to show you can do realistic proportions.
*The hulk's normals just look odd. Maybe the green channel is flipped? Or the sculpt just needs to be improved. The face is the big thing bringing that model down right now.
*As for abe, you can hardly see his normal map on the model. It just looks like he has a bump map on his wet suit with a noisy texture. So, overall, he comes off as very flat.
*I really like the robot guy's legs. Particularly the pants. You did a good job on simulating cloth there. But the rest of it is really messy and looks half-finished. I'd recommend that you just scrap that piece.
*Your toon stuff is pretty cool! It's good to have some stylized pieces in your folio (at least in my opinion). Your pilot character could use some texture work though. Right now it looks like you just threw some basic colors onto an AO bake. Especially on the face. Get in there and mix it up! Add some more color, give him some life. Paint on it a little.
The interface being a wordpress photo portfolio theme and editing it meanings html coding. I am totally clueless on coding or programming so I will separate the images to make it look accessible or add another gallery menu bar so that visitors don't hv to waist time figuring where to go. regarding the characters its the camera angle that would be giving it the wired proportions, As i am rendering my models in marmoset I can see the objects stretching as they move away from the camera. Being real time renders I let it be. Will try to improve the renders and push strong models to the top.
Cheers
You can sort this out by changing the field of view in Marmoset so it's less wide/fish eye lens.
The phone booth is one of your strongest environment pieces. Try making that the quality mark for your portfolio. If something doesn't match that level, then take it down. For example, the sci-fi hallway is too bland and doesn't represent the same level of artistry/skill as the phone booth.
I do like the stylized characters quite a bit so maybe put those closer to the top!
I hope my 2 cents helps

Why does everything look like it came from Borderlands? Dump the black outline on the work. It makes everything read weird to me.
Hiya guys, i have fixed the wedpage and edited the banner look of the page to a more selective option and also added a 3D menu in which you can view my entire work on one page.
At present am working on the renders.
Thanks Ex-ray for the marmoset tip.
