Re: Is my portfolio enough to get into the industry? (Character Artist)
Overall, you're on the right track and have a higher quality than most. Unfortunately your portfolio is missing some key things that would cause concern for a hiring manager: * You don't display triangle count and the wireframe density on your characters is very high, higher than I would expect for these characters. It… -
Re: Portfolio upadate
Yo! First, start putting signatures on all your work. Old Church: The branches don't really look too natural, and the bark material needs a little work. The cross is a focal point but it's a little boring. Some damage or a crow or something could improve it. I'd like to see a wide screen version of the image. It was a 2… -
Re: Coming out of final year - Portfolio
The problem most studios have with people coming out of 'game' programs is that they very rarely show any area of specialization or focused interest. Too many portfolios and demo reels show a superficial introduction to a wide-range of skillsets: a bit of character modeling, a bit of environment art, scripting, rigging,… -
Re: Portfolio Critique Desired
Since you asked for brutal critique I am going to give my 5 cents as bluntly as possible. Here goes: - Focus on 3D assets as it clearly is your strong suit. - Remove the blog and twitter as it adds nothing and they are pretty dead anyways. - The header is too big and takes attention away from your work. - You shouldn't… -
Re: [Portfolio] - JoshF, Demo Reel
Nice reel! Love the take on Mario. A bit long and slow at points. I'd like to see some additional notes during the wireframes about what material layers were used (normal map, spec color map, texture resolutions, etc.). I don't see the need for two whole rotations around the Hercules model, just one will do before you show… -

The pros and cons of contiguous and non-contiguous mesh baking?
I made a quick example to highlight the topic I'd like to learn more about. From left to right: High poly with 2 meshes, low poly A with 2 meshes, low poly B with 1 mesh. Note that low poly A's larger mesh has been rotated so that the planes are not parallel with the planes of the sub-mesh cap. What I think I understand:… -
What have I done wrong? - Quads vs. Triangles vs. Beveling
Good morning polycounters, I was recently working on a 3D car model, when I received some feedback regarding my modeling technique. I love getting criticism that helps me improve my modeling, and I've been racking my brain trying to get my head around the differences, google-ing topics, reading forums, checking tutorials… -
Viking Huscarl - Need some C & C - Judge me!
My goal is to have this mesh finished by the end of today, that will hopefully include the head. See i'm on a strict time budget due to needing a solid demo reel ready in about 2 weeks and with only what i'm posting as my only work suitable for it... The aim for this character is a Viking Huscarl; which is essentially the… -
Re: The mesh stretches when the bone is rotated
if you turn wireframe on you probably get a better idea what is happening to fix, you can either adjust the skinning or it may be necessary to add some additional edge loops to that area to adjust the skinning, the easy way is to put joint into the problem pose, then use smooth brush with a very small value and just tap…
