Start out with generalist focus to give everyone a taste of what disciplines there are and teach the pipeline, then specialize, then allow plenty of time for portfolio work. If we're talking a 4 year program, the first year can be a mish mash, next two years are focused on a specific area, and then give them the last year…
Well I guess it can depend on your situation. I did a lot of TF2 stuff and it would be popular for awhile and fade into obscurity. I think some of my older items were still my best ideas/work (stuff last year). It's good to see it getting some attention again, there are still a few items I want in game that I think fit…
Okey look, im soon to have a mental breakdown, Why the hell does it have to take so much damn effort to make a extremly simple shape? I mean what the hell. Am i missing something here?! Here is some splines with a surface modifier, looks good? NO. if we look at the wire beneath we can see that it pushes the polies up and…
Portfolio and cv at COURTLANDW.com Most recently worked remotely as Art Lead and Concept Artist on a Virtual Reality title for the Vive and Rift with an international team. We demo'd that game at the 2016 Silicon Valley VR and VR World Congress. Can provide: - iterative 2D concept art: characters, environments, creatures -…
Good luck finding someone who enjoys using and owning guns and doesn't take care of them. You can spend almost as much time cleaning them than actually firing them if you want to keep them in good condition. 90% of the time we put an unrealistic amount of wear and tear on the weapons we texture, but it adds visual interest…
It's looking good - few notes though - - wear and tear is a bit inconsistent. You've done a great job showing model wear and tear with chunks missing and exposed rebarb etc however the texture is very clean. Think about adding additional grime and dirt as well some build up at the base to better ground it when placed in an…
Hi, after completing the M-80 Zolja I decided to head back to a more modern design for the next model. I decided to create a winged scout drone with VTOL abilities. After some sketching and try & error I cam up with a first blockout: (Left is view onto the top side, right the bottom side.) The idea is that the drone uses a…
I think it's decent, but it could be better for sure: 1. Only show your best work, your portfolio stands and falls on your worst piece. When you add a new piece to the portfolio remove your worst. 2. I cannot find more specifically what you want to work as than 3D artist (with specializations in every step of the content…
5 years experience is mostly bullshit unless they are looking for someone to fill a senior artist position. I would ignore beginner positions unless you feel that it's your only chance. The risk it that you'll be used for mundane (but necessary) task. Then you'll be easily replaceable and won't learn much (from I have…
The work looking amazing this year, the 3d at my uni is nowhere near that level, I wish i could redo my degree. I did go to last year expose, hopefully I could make it this year. =)
