Re: How To Get Prepared For a Job Interview
There are some simple things I do before a interview: 1. Check the participants on linkedin - it gives you a better impression who you are going to be talking to and what their own role is. For example you don't want to ask HR about technical details of your work. 2. Get a good idea how big the team is and what they are… -
Re: How to Make Growing Trees?
I imagine you could set this up with matinee, and kismet. While it might be done with coding - I would give matinee a try and see if you can reproduce it. The trees just look like they're scaling, and hiding/unhiding the appropriate meshes. when your tree dies, I would try just hiding that mesh, and setting the location of… -

Re: [UE4] Europolis
Interesting feedback. Lots of pointa to cover but I'll focus on the technical ones since some of my choices were by design(e.g. wall facades that look very trimmy).

Re: Been looking for Game Dev work for almost a year. Can I get some advice?

I recommend hopping on to Artstation and start searching for recently hired junior artists. Examine their portfolio's to see what the bar is and… -

I set all my lights to be static and baked (Im not using a directional light, only point lights since its a night scene).

Re: EGX London meetup, Sept 27
You guys who will be there early - count me in! I have to get down to Brighton later in the evening but I'll be able to stick around until about 8. Stoked for this!! I've let slip my polycount activity lately; it'll be good to catch up with you guys I met at the meetup a year and a half ago :) -
Re: Job hunting
Yep I think you should compare yourself to what is out in the industry and try to beat that. If you set your sights on just beating your fresh out of school peers you're doomed to fail as most of them are doomed. Let the industry be your measuring stick and also consider that what you see now, was worked on a few years… -
