Re: Art Deco Streamliner Train
As mentioned in the WAYWO thread I've decided to wrap this asset up for now and present it. The train will still be used in an upcoming environment produced throughout 2013 so it may get a little more polish in the future.

Re: Heightmaps from Google Earth or similar.
you can grab data from USGS here; There're docs in there that explain the difference between v1 and v2.1; it's a bit technical and I'm not fully clear on it. I think SRTM30 has the best resolution, basically the scans are taken in blocks of 30 meters vs the earlier set the blocks are 90 meters. US_1_arcsec data is about… -
Re: Toy making, action figures, etc...where do you apply for that???
I don't think there are many full-time jobs for toy/statue/mini work. There is a lot of freelance work floating around though. You can find some miniature game companies that require cg artists on kickstarter. I've managed to get toy work with just a game art portfolio, so I think you just need to demonstrate good… -

Re: Getting a job overseas
Generally based on what Ive experienced in a studio the process of getting a visa to work in the US is near impossible - even if you are really awesome. The maximum allowed visas for the US fill up super quick so start the process of looking near the end of the year. I think for 2013 they are already full. Even coming from… -

Re: Looking for a job soon, need advice, portfolio critique
The design of the sword is really boring compared to the design of the gun. Are you using any concept art for the sword? It not really showing the best of your abilities. Also, it says environment artist, but you only have one environment that isn't that great I.e. portal style. It sort of really bland like your sword. For…
