If you're interested in doing environment art, potential employers who visit your site will want to see environment art samples you have created. Your gallery consists of weapons, a creature, and a car. without reading your posts here, i would have no idea environment art would be of any interest to you. Id combine the six…
How a portfolio page should look: your name contact information position seeking link to resume (optional download resume doc or pdf) 8-10 pieces of your BEST work (optional download demo reel though some require it) Be sure this section is focuses on the position you want. For example, want to be a 3d game character…
The reel didn't strike me as being that crappy, although the intro and ending screens seemed a little gimmicky and the song is weird, which might turn some people off. You'd probably be safer to keep those neutral so that nothing distracts viewers from your work. The gallery part off to the side looks like it has some…
Hi Jared You have some really nice stuff on your site. I agree with getting rid of the redundant stuff. Simplify IMO should be a buzzword for your site. Some items that haven't been mentioned. Your link section also have a very small font with dark reddish color on a black background. That's almost unreadable. I would…
My brother recently shared this article with me and now I'm paranoid my hard drive is about to break at any moment. As it rightfully should mind, as my current system for backing up stuff is half-arsed at best. At the moment I just backup all my important stuff to a 1TB Toshiba hard drive, and then the really important…
Hi, I am very new to the gaming industry with only one year of experience. I was asked to take a 48-hour test, not paid, AND they said that they would publish it on their site and use it for a magazine. Also, the test is kind of a reach from what I showed in my portfolio (there was not much info on their site on what they…
What type of content should I both add and/or remove if necessary? -You have an about me section on the front page, and then you have a separate about me section on another page. The front page is all about the artwork! So I'd say the front page about me section isn't really needed. I also think you should have a separate…
I download pirated games for one simple reason. It takes me up to 2 hours to download a Demo of a game I want to try from the official website, it takes me 45 mins to downlaod the full game from local torrent sites. I download the torrent then play the game for an hour or so and decide if I want it or not, then I either…
Thanks for the thorough, honest critiques!!! I'm glad you guys like my work. I'm a little surprised that so much attention was given to my site design, but I guess I should feel good if that's the weakest part of my portfolio! When reviewing art-tests and portfolios at work, the other artists and I never really cared about…
I started this as a personal project to use it for my portfolio as a Junior 3D Artist. I would say that I'm at the halfway point of the modeling. I've refined the shape to make it make sense in real life and with the right proportions. I also decided to separate the geometry into multiple meshes keeping in mind that the…
