Re: Why I Hate Demo Reels
@rayle1112 Dude... you're literally THE example cited by the lecturer at Herts Uni as to why character artists should have a demo reel.

Why don't video game people unionize?

It should go without saying that what is happening at Activision Blizzard is absolutely discussting and I can't see a case for thinking otherwise.

Re: How to reduce normal map baking artifacts caused by low/high poly mismatch?

Why you're not getting any replies
You've posted some nice artwork and asked for feedback, but no one seems to be offerring you any critiques. Why are they passing you by? Someone asked me this in a private message. I thought it might help to share the response, and get more details from the community too. I feel there are a couple factors at work here.…
