If you get offers like that again, always keep in mind if it's better than working a normal minimum wage job in your country and spending your free time to make art you can put on a portfolio.
Hey Jonas, despite my earlier crit I think we all could benefit from hearing how you went about texturing :) You mentioned using a lot of gradients, any chance of a mini-tut anytime soon?

Sounds like you want a general mini-tutorial on UV mapping. Incidentally, I feel like writing one. I've only done this in Max, and the latest version I've used is 5, so this may or may not apply exactly to what you're doing.

Yep, you're 17, that was obvious from your post, and this one as well. It's cool though, you'll get over this and grow up eventually.

I'm going to try that. @Andy Wow! that is an extremely thoughtful and cool reply! How are you half my age?? You sound twice my age talking like that! You sound like…
Badger500- I have seen your portfolio being presented in many places already for the past 1-2 yrs with the same content. The bathroom has been reworked over and over again.

Do you think taking it out would make the portfolio weaker? About the environment, I totally get what you’re saying. Those are older projects and back then I didn’t…
This is my first tutorial I will make so please bear with me :) . Step 1: So first and foremost, we need to be in the right state of mind to approach this issue. In my opinion, what ever you want to do in life you must be in the right state of mind in order to achieve what you want to achieve. make yourself calm and…
