My comment is only further enforced by your last post. You are measuring the artistic quality of a game/asset by its technical merits. Which again, have nothing to do with art.

Hey buddy, take a look at this thread, it might come in handy for the harsh transition between the rocks and the floor: http://polycount.com/discussion/181140/unreal-4-terrain-blending-tool-inspired-by-star-wars-battlefront/p1 It is quite heavy for real time rendering, but hey, all that counts for portfolio is that it…
I should congratulate you on SW: Battlefront now that it shipped a while back! Second shipped title! Good job! Looking forward on more updates on your drop ship, looking hefty, you should upload your latest iteration :)
