Mathis Widrat - Environment Artist

    Quote

    So if anyone finds some kind of "No-Go" on my website, please don't hesitate to tell me.

    I think the website itself is fine as it is right now. As mentioned you might want to change the header from "level design" to "3d artist", your contact info is also easy to find, so no need to change anything there imo.

    You might want to finish the assets from the 2014 section though before applying? the halo door is finished, but there are still a lot of baking/shading errors in the final asset, same goes for the M2 Browning weapon or the Foxhound. High/lowpoly modeling looks good though. Just finish what you started, that's really important.

    I really like the Chase environment, but I think you should make it clearer what exactly you did there. "My job was to make a the entire level." sounds a bit vague, especially since this was a team project with 8 other guys. Did you do all the set dressing, lighting, assets, modeling, texturing?

    Same goes for the Badland level, it's really hard to tell what you did there.

    At least, if I was looking for a level designer, that is what I would look for in a portfolio.

    Hm indeed, I should change that soon.

    I thought I wrote some more detailed description, thanks for the hint.

    Now I got a few things to fix, thanks for all those feedback. I'll try to change the things you mentioned as soon as possible

    I just want to point out that you label yourself as an Environment Artist yet the first three assets on top of the page is two vehicles and a gun, this gives me a lot more Hard surface 3D artist vibes. I'm not saying you should change order, just that you should be aware and reconsider it. I did notice the date on the assets, but on the second look.

    Also, I like the BTR 90! =)

    Edited my portfolio once again: http://www.mathiswidrat.com

    Reworked the header, added new category, switched Foxhound render screens from UDK to CryEngine, changed order on main page and other minor fixes.

    Hopefully I fixed most of the problems you guys mentioned. Thanks for the great feedback so far

    Great portfolio as has been mentioned, I would crit the decision to indent older work, it just seems a bit odd and I'm not sure I dig it aesthetically. Minor critique obviously. Good job

    Hey, thanks for the comments, I just saw that someone posted in here so I am sorry for the delayed answer

    Yeah Indeed, I think I am going to kick the Foxhound and other unfinished stuff (and probably the Chase section as well) out as soon as I finished creating new content.

    Thanks again for the feedback.

    People get onto me sometimes about wanting to keep old content. To be honest though, I love seeing what people worked on and how far they've come in their careers. It also shows character and experience learned. If anything, please add an "Older works" section where you can post some of your older levels.


    Atm, my portfolio is sorta messy with older stuff towards the bottom but I think I'm going to put it all behind a "personal works" button.
