Here is my opinion, Blogs are a nice way to show you are a human being, I know a lot of employers who actually look for written material before asking for an interview. I have to agree with chris, all your artwork seems to blend together and not really have a focus point, while it is nice to show you can do good…
The stones forming the arches above the doors in the lighting shots have some problem normals causing odd lighting effects; it's most obvious in the first daylight shot and the second nighttime shot. Look at the stones and you'll see that some are unnaturally dark over part or all of a face. Demo/show reels aren't really…
Sounds like your off to a great start :) Also aiming for a studio you think you could realistically work for is a good way to design a portfolio peice in the style of that studio to show them you can do there style and are interested in there studio specifically. This is in no way a requirement. Modern/Realistic stuff is…
Yes I have tried that method, I inverted in Photoshop, even created a material in UDK and manually inverted with the one minus expressions, and have also baked my normal map with y- in the end I am getting same results. Okay guys, this might be my last post (I promise)depending on if I find a solution in the next 16 hrs or…

I feel your pain also. Skin needs a rewrite, preferably by someone who has used it day in and day out for a few months. It works best if you do skin by the book and never screw up... ever. Even then you can't expect it to work like it should. The more you use it the less likely you are to do something it doesn't like.…
I really like the cleanness of the site and the fading orange squares in the background. Plus the moving nav bar, that's pretty cool. It makes me think that they're moving pistons. I think your main body design is to narrow. You need to run at least a resolution of 1248x1024 to view the whole thing. At 1024x768 (most…
I have not really felt like I had jump around even in my early days. Though, I did try to find the good jobs. See it is patience many people lack only trying to find that job to get them in. Like anything else in life just getting a job does not really cut it. Value yourself and push to what you want. It requires long…
Wow - thanks everybody! Man I love Polycount... In a platonic way *cough* Thanks so much for everybody who shared advice and opinions. For those who said it, your totally right that sometimes it is very tough to see the good things in life when all the bad are piling up in front of you... For me anyway. Just to clarify the…
