I think keeping the weekly challenges to one thread would be best. Having multiple threads would inevitably be confusing to any newcomers or anyone skimming the posts. It also means less bookmarks to keep up with, and we'd keep all of the hard surface tips and strategies in one place. Plus, a thread with a ton of pages…
Dang, this is cool. There's one or two things that have been mentioned by daphz that I echo and one more thing that I think is probably too late now, unless your willing to go back a bit. I reckon the silhouette could be improved if you include more of the clunky jagged features from the Joe Mad concept. Because at the…
The breakdown/tutorial for Eomer is up for sale. https://gumroad.com/l/zPkg# As you can see in the cover photo I'm explaining a bit my high poly workflow including a detailed tutorial for the chain mail.

Personally I would say to try and make it a bit more focused towards the area of work you would like to go for, and perhaps make a seperate portfolio for say your graphic design and 2D/sketchbook stuff. Also make sure to have sufficient breakdowns of everything, like making sure to include wireframe shots, and examples of…
Overall, showreels aren't that useful for game artists other than animators and effects artists. As an environment artist, you're working with static objects, and so a static format will allow you to better show everything you can do. Concentrate on creating a good portfolio with solid still images of your work. As always,…
I dunno - they've got a more recent foundation so it's more likely to be more stable and streamlined for including new features. They will never be able to get into the same market share as Max / Maya / XSI if they don't include the features needed to make it a full-featured development application. Right now it's pretty…
Ohh I did forget something 7) Bump/Normal Map - Self explanatory. Dust is probably too thin to influence the bump so don't include it, but thick dirt, scratches, or other surface imperfections you can include. 8) Gloss/Eccentricity Map - Don't really know how to create one of these since I've only ever used the default…
