Re: Portfolio Review
Some thoughts. * Quality over Quantity * Everyone wants a job as quickly as possible.

Re: How to convert CAD file to game ready models
Aside from manual modeling in Maya/Max/Modo/Blender, PiXYZ is a newer option purpose built for just this. It's a procedural tool for turning CAD surfaces into optimized polygon meshes.
