John I'd echo what Nosslak said. Right now you aren't showing mastery of anything really. Just going through the motions. I would focus on the art itself and telling a story through the environment. I see too many Artists just focusing on the asset/environment creation and not enough Artists focusing on the story and…
Quite a bit of cool stuff here! I particularly liked the sequences with the ships at 1:25, the ocean effect was pretty dang cool. Some things to take in mind while editing your video, the first part, featuring the FPS game was incredibly cutty. As soon as I tried to soak in what effect you were showcasing, it cut away to…
Hi Josh I've been a level designer for about 9 years now and the one thing I have to say (only looking at the Unreal maps) is that you really need to work on detailing your maps as they seem very bare, as well as realizing that flat square walls aren't what most rooms are made of. A key thing to be aware of is that you…

VR standalone is pretty much in PS2-3 era of optimization. Number one reason of VR performance hit are the badly handled UI and Code. 100+ individual UI textures being called instead of atlased for example. As for 4k 8k, general guide is 2k for 3rd person and 4k for FPS. It gets interesting depending on company workflow…
If for some reason you still want to get rid of unnecessary loops. For example in case of mobile game or if your game show first lod on replays and cut scenes only. You still can manipulate the normals responsible for shading "corners" directly . Sometimes it's enough just copy normal from a vertex outside the hole to one…
While I can't afford all the software I want/need, I tend to not pirate much anymore since I respect how much effort and knowledge is needed to make any of the software I like. The only real time I'll pirate software now is if it is expensive and the trial isn't long enough for me to actually learn how to use the software…
Dude, that's a bad example. He doesn't blackmail people into changing their opinions. I believe a closer example would be the rules and guidelines that every forum has. An example of one would be. "Don't flame..." and the relevant consequence is given for not following the rules, a ban. I can't see how this is different…
yea totally, that's a prime example of content marketing, give a ton of value and have something people can sign up for your list to get, and then occasionally deliver a paid product to your fanbase. organic traffic is great and converts well. with the paid ads stuff you need to be able to track conversions so you can…
Doubling up on that suggestion of going back to your lowest subdiv and reworking your base forms using real life reference. It's fun to get crazy with the details, but without a good foundation it tends to just look muddy. :) Your construction is missing a number of forms, and misses the sweet spot on how they connect…
