#2 definitely. I hate not being able to tell what I'm going to see before clicking a thumbnail (#1) and #3 feels too cluttered.
I also think all gallery pages should be like this: http://www.generalvivi.com/levels/source_maps.html definitely a lot easier to navigate, I hate thumbnails!!
Awesome, congrats

why not 
I'll probably be doing the one prop a day thingy and maybe a realistic environment before I apply to all places though. The application of a friend of mine to a AAA studio in canada got turned down because he didn't have any realistic pieces in his portfolio... and he's incredibly talented and experienced. Go figure.

perhaps he's so busy working on his game that he didn't even notice it's his birthday!
Tiling textures ftw!
Some things you can do to improve your model:
- Bake AO to vertex colors or to a separate map using the 2nd uv channel
- Use vertex colors for color variation
- You could add some trims here and there because it looks rather obvious where the tiling texture ends in some places, specially in the inner part of the ship
- Create a second texture for decals. Stuff as signs, texts or maybe even windows with an emissive map to add that extra layer of detail
- Texture maps could use some polish. The edges are too bright on the diffuse, the specular has way too much contrast and the glossiness too much variation. That doesnt make much sense, since every metal tile is supposed to be made from the same type of metal so more uniform spec/gloss maps are expected.
Happy birthday man~~
That's infuriating. The first time valve disappoints me.
Quote from BuddyIs that the reason for that little portfolio piece you've done awhile ago?It's sad to hear that its closing down especially that it feels like it opened like a week ago.
I saw it coming months ago when Ubisoft announced the company would focus on core franchises only. We had just jumped from a casual project to another and that didn't smell good so I began to save money and started that UDK scene to have something up-to-date with my current skill level in case something bad happened.
When I was officially told the studio was closing down I gave my udk level that extra boost and put a new portfolio site together. I'm still working on it, that's why I haven't posted on mapcore yet but you guys can check it out on http://www.thiagoklafke.com.
It's really a shame this studio is being shut down. I worked with amazingly talented people during the past 2 years who unfortunately didn't have a chance to shine due to the nature of the projects and other things I can't talk about now.
But yeah, life goes on. I'm glad I wasn't caught off guard on this one.

If only Grin still existed... 
Ubisoft has confirmed to Joystiq that "development activities in its Brazilian studios will ramp down by the end of this year." The publisher states that due to the current market conditions, it can't "achieve the goals initially set for the studios." There is no set date when the Brazil shops will close, but it will be before the end of the calendar year.There are currently 25 people working between the two studios in Brazil, who are "finishing DS and PSP projects which they will see to completion." The company could not confirm the official number of layoffs, as "some" team members may take positions at other Ubi studios.
The Brazil studios had worked on the casual Imagine series, which doesn't currently fit in with the company's focus on major franchises -- a priority for the major, new (subsidized) Toronto studio.
Ubisoft plans to continue its business presence in Brazil and is "currently evaluating opportunities." Overall, the publisher states that its "production headcount" should remain stable this year.
Yep I'll lose my job soon. If anyone knows of any regular environment art openings in Canada or Europe please let me know
Massive bump here but I wanted to say this is one of the best KOTH maps ever!! It has become everyone's favorite KOTH map here at the office.
However I noticed we were playing an old version (beta2) and I think the atmosphere is much better in beta2 than in beta3 so you should definitely return to that.
On another note, offblast is everyone's favourite arena map so that means you are a kickass level designer
insta for president~
That owns Hourences 
I can only think about this game all day
Seems like a case for Cooper & Norman!
Jokes aside I wouldn't publish the level right away since it involves other parties (Crytek). I don't think Crytek would like to see people releasing CryEngine 3 screenshots without authorization.
Why not? Go ahead and pull some all nighters, that's looking sweet, don't miss the deadline!!
yes!!! I cant wait to get back home and work on my own little realm.....
Started playing it today =)
A video of me chilling out in my cave:
That rules man. But turn on anti-aliasing on those screenshots
