Given you have talent, and some time to practice, you "could" get a junior position in a game company in perhaps 3-4 years if you practice very hard and In that time produce a scene of the kind of work you want to do.

I don't think 22 is too old to get started, it's more an issue of being willing to earn less than what your current job would offer in 3-4 years. You really will start from the bottom and work your way up again.

Good luck!

looks cool, whats the mod? can u say? ;P

I have the Xperia Z, and the waterproofing is actually very useful, ontop of almost 30% of phone damage is due to water/dust/sand it's really cool to drop one in your beer glass for a party trick. That is until apple do it, then everyone will claim they are design gods.

I love a good bollock

great times playing some of their games, but also pretty excited to see what EA can do with it, they haz some kick ass studios.

yeah cheers, agreed with crushing the blacks a bit, think I should calibrate and buy a half decent monitor it might help get the contrast I'm after without losing all zee shadow details.

time for something a little different, noticed some low light hitting some daffodils,

haha about time there was a phun trailer

Nice, very photographic

yup that defo gets the design across much better

I'm not sure just the bridge requires it own document though, but it's good practice. You can describe the basic design of an entire mission on a few pages

The key to a solid early implementation of a design is to keep it clean, clear and consise ... I always liked the way Naughty Dog and Valve do it (we also do this at Crytek)

Heres and example of a scene broken down into basic white/grey box

The problem with texturing and lighting is your already distracting the observer before you've even proven the design. Sure, at some point you will add lights but assigning really ugly textures doesnt help get the point across.

You could take this maya scene above and add some simple text describing the player path and events - if lighting will play a major roll in the design, then it's worth showing before and after, explain why the lights are there.

The bridge scene can be explained with a few screenshots from a 3d scene, extremely low poly. First showing the view at the start, so setting up the scene. The second being after the bridge has collapsed, with arrows or pointers showing the intended path.

Your sketch is really good, and is quite clear what you want to do, the only issue I see is the presentation in 3D, your attempting to make the scene more complete than it needs to be.

there's always been a few good students at any uni course, you sir are one of them

very nice Robert and co! I agree camera view could prob be better, less dead space, prob half of the image is a black blob

perhaps take the camera shot through the window of a car or something

freaking awesome, good job ya'll

I agree 100% with Taylor, with flexibility comes responsibility. Complex kismets are fine for prototyping but that's where it should end - otherwise you end up with 10 people doing exactly the same thing 10 different ways. Many will break over time, the experience becomes inconsistent and solutions become exponentially more expensive to solve.
