Thanks for the answer ZacD, the thing is in Quebec most studios and companies have a french and english site. I think i am gonna stick with bilingual resum
As ZacD said, your design should be fine Sean. It's a pity it had to be so heavily altered to be submission ready in the first place. Loved the initial design of yours.
ZacD: Right you are! I was strictly talking about displacement, I'd never heard of them called Displacement maps (only height maps) in regards to parallax.
Going to work in an office in yfronts...seriously WTF. I used the love the Thundercats, now its all ruined. This is almost as bad as that picture of ZacD dressed up as a rent boy.
Thank you for feedback, @ZacD. Grooves were modeled as in a reference object, and for the graphics I thought of something that will hint zombies in a fun way. Like, if this is a machete, there should be zombies somewhere. :)
Stargate has some secretly very good designs in it i think. Nice... i'd echo zacD and say that the engraving be easy as larry in zbrush with some alpha masks etc
