Re: [Portfolio] Nick Metcalf, Character Artist
It shows that you are new at this. None of the character designs appeals to me. They all have of late 1990s 3d art without the benefit of good, handpainted textures. I also keep getting a 3d software tutorial book vibe from your modeling work. Remove everything. Look at other games, try to think out for yourself why… -
Re: [Portfolio] Nick Metcalf, Character Artist
Good stuff guys. Oddly enough I originally wanted to do animation, and still do more-so than modeling, but I thought the quality of my animations were a lot less strong. This is very interesting. Unfortunately there seems to be a lot more and much better information regarding modeling out there than animating. Well I'm… -
Re: [Portfolio] Nick Metcalf, Character Artist
Well, I like your site. I wish you didn't use the flash (lightbox whatever) looking stuff. I think most of all you need to ditch the welcome page and just take the user straight to your strong point Page (modeling/texturing or animation).

You sure look like you know the workflow, but your skill at making professional style characters is just not there yet and comes with time of making more on… -
Re: [Portfolio] Nick Metcalf, Character Artist
Hey man,I totally agree with everyone else.Your Models are just not good enough to get a job, I would totally ditch all of em. The anatomy is bad,design,textures. I would focus on your animations more, but really to tell you the truth i think you are gonna need a hell of a lot more to your portfolio to get a a job. I know… -
Re: [Portfolio] Nick Metcalf, Character Artist
If you want a good example of solid, cartoony animation I would look at TF2. Get source, gcfscape, a decompiler and start looking through stuff. -
[Portfolio] Nick Metcalf, Character Artist
Hey guys, I'm graduating from my school (Webster University) in the next week. I chose to create a Portfolio website to display my work as my senior overview. My website is at: http://nickjmetcalf.com Just a background: Like many of you I'm self-taught in this stuff; my school offers 2 courses in 3d. One of which I skipped…
