it looks nice man, but are you truly satisfied ? it feels like you are not making an visual improvement or trying anything new for yourself. I know im the bummer here again, but you are doing the exact same thing again with the very same slightly stilized edges on low smoothing subdivison , with the same…
Taking a small break as I hack away on my next piece. I think your new version is great! I would say your decision to change it up has benefited it a lot. Not just as an artistic piece with nicer color balance but it helps you stand out from the same-ol stuff we've seen before. UT has seen many maps with fire and one with…
Hey all. So i managed to rope poor @JLHGameArt and @TudorMorris into helping me with an overly ambitious project for our final major. I wanted to do something grand and epic, and largely a showcase of all of our skillsets. A kind of interactive portfolio. With that in mind i had the idea of an elf that the player can…
These are my opinions :) First off, take out the Work In Progress. A portfolio is your showcase. Only the best of your best should be on it. A bunch of WIPs shows that sometimes you can't just finish a proj. Everything in the Gallery section should have more than just 1 shot. Each project in there should include a few of…
Apparently the newest version of UDK has finally added a screenshot button, I haven't used it myself as I'm still using an earlier version. I tend to just take a screenshot of the scene with lighting baked and game view on (that way you don't see all the gizmos) using the printscreen command (if you're using a pc it should…
I worked for a year and a half as a graphic designer too! It got stale, but we did a little 3D on the side sometimes, so as work experience it was useful. In the end I quit in order to build my portfolio (I thought I wasn't motivated enough to work on it after the job) after I saved for a bit and kept expenses to a…

with the most respect for all of you folks, i'm going to go ahead and sort offff diissagreeee with you on the adding more world objects point. personally, i hate loaded environments with too many details. to my personal astetic taste, adding a whole pile of stuff to this scene will *surely* make it uglier. that being said,…
thanks for all the input you guys and sorry for the late responses (I dont have internet at home). About the 4 sides...my roofs are seperate object entirely. I thought it was a good idea to for cutting down the amounts of polys. My roofs are mostly jus 4 sided square...most of them but there are a few roof tops are…
So when creating projects for a 3D artist portfolio I know it's often a good idea to model off of someone else's concept art (especially professional concept artists). That way I'm demonstrating my ability to translate concepts into 3D art and I don't have to worry about creating my own designs which probably aren't as…
