I've updated my portfolio, since my previous topic was archived I decided to make a new one.
feedback is welcome!
skinweighting is "done" [Blocked Image: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16324432/pan_skinweightmoreorlessfinal.png]
Depends on what you love doing the most.
But I think if you're simply looking at numbers, by logic there are more environment artists required than leveldesigners, thus probably making it easier to get a job as an environment artist (if the quality of your portefolio supports it)
sculpting update, next up, sculpting the hair for the lower half of the body.

its a base to start sculpting on, he's pan, half man half goat, his junk will be covered in a lush bush 
+ I don't want to scare of potential employers with my portefolio.
(you asked for it https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16324432/seth.png )
yep, altho I am planning to do something crazy with those 2 combined into 1 piece. I think it would be more memorable as a portefolio piece if I do something humorous with it.
hmm? care to explain, I am not entirely certain what you mean by lack of context?

Really digging the looks of this map!
heh, I didn't even know they released the sdk! Looking forward to see what you're cooking up.
This is my entry for the interlopers.net mapping competition

I didn't have the time to look further into it.
I don't think it's a baking issue, i 've discovered that the resource compiler from version 3.5.8 is bugged and shows seams on the normal maps on the uv seams, there is a workaround by replacing the resource compiler with the working 3.5.7 version.
If this doesn't fix it, I should try to get my hands on cryteks xnormal tangent basic calculator plugin together with the supported version of xnormal which isn't available on the website anymore.
hmm, guess there is still something wrong after all ... rendered in xnormal x+ y- z+ , which should be correct for the cryengine, flipping green makes it even worse

didn't know that, how? if I can render them at x +, y - and z + they should be correct for the cryengine
edit, found it, in the map to render the 3dots behind the normal map checkbox thingie
Some progress!
seems like its a problem with how the tangent is read
somehow it work in marmoset toolbag set to 3ds max's way of reading the tangent normal but not with the one from xnormal (which was used to bake the map)
Guess I shouldn't worry about the seam, but just to make sure to use the right tangent for each software

@ ayzon: I am not sure what you mean, but the model is a single mesh
@ paranoidMonkey: I had my edge padding at 2 pixels the screenshot is scaled down and it's hardly noticable, I 'll keep in mind to use more padding in the future
@ Minos: I really hope that this is the case, it's been driving me crazy and causing a headache for 2 days allready ...
But does it explain the seam when the normal is applied as a diffuse?
I 'll update once I get it to work in marmoset.
EDIT: baked an object space normal (shows no seams) converted it with handplane to a normal tangent map (shows seams)
yes, it shows that seam in every bake I did so far, even with the channels flipped
I 'll try marmoset toolbag
but I am pretty sure the green channel isn't the issue.
Here is it flipped

I applied a single smoothing group again after the bake, applied the normal map in a the diffuse slot and even there it is visible
what else can I view it in?
