i think your site is excellent! It's tricky applying as a level designer as the job can be radically different from company to company. Some companies use level designers almost like junior artists while others will restrict and discourage any kind of "artyness" on their levels and make them create pure game play spaces…
The "buddy" idea sounds very isolated, just a thing between 2 people... a lot of people cant easily find a "buddy" because they dont know anyone well enough to commit to this buddy thing. It works between 2 friends who know eachother, or 2 good artists that highly respect eachothers works so in that sense it is kind of…
The UVing itself is great. I have no issues with Mayas UV tools, its just the packing I cant ever to get the results I want. It doesnt fill any empty spaces UV shells might have (like a tire with a hole in the middle for example) so there ends up being tons of wasted UV space. I just always seem to get a much better pack…
Amazing work overall. As for your request depends what you want to do with it. I would suggest story telling, and in that regard gothic goes hand in hand with dark/gloomy vibes. Maybe work on a night/ominous lighting? Try to tell a story, you can light some tall rooms of the cathedral in an sinister manner for example ;)…
[rant] It's on a console so I will more than likely miss out on this one. I wasn't ragging on the game. I was commenting on how sad it is that I won't be able to play this one. Because I don't plan on buying a console right now becaue there are so few games, so few in supply, the cost is so much and the holidays are so…

I wanted to share some of my work here and would love to hear your thoughts and feedback on how I can get better. As a beginner, I’m open to any advice—whether…
I was lucky, in the sense that I am not in debt. A local community college was offering an Associates degree in Simulation and Game Development so I took it. This gave me a balance from paying hardly anything, but still getting a small foundation from which to build on. It also gave me the opportunity to see if this is…
You know when you want to sleep and then a very sticky idea appears and refuse to let go? Well that's what happened to me yesteray : I wanted to go to sleep early and ended up panting until 2am (not much for some but its 3 hours past my usual schedule). And of course, I can't stay asleep after 8am \o/ Anyway heres a wip,…
Yep... In my time freelancing i've seen just about every bind pose i can imagine. There was a game i helped with, where the characters were only ever running and carrying guns, the arms required such a small range of motion that they wanted the character modeled with the elbows bent 90 degrees, and the fingers almost…
