  • WIP in WIP, post your level screenshots!

    Thanks for the comments, people, happy you like it!

    first one is boring since pandora has different flora.

    I'm not sure what to say... I simply suggest reading next time, as I cleary state (under a neat little headline!) that Hongzhou is a map for Crysis that I'm doing. I did not say I want it to be like Pandora, and I did not say I want it to look like Pandora. It's a jungle on Earth, not Pandora in outer space.

    Good thing that other one looks more like Pandora, though, because that's what I wanted!

    Thanks, Furyo!

    Regarding my Portfolio... Just to stay on the clear side, it's not made by myself. Carbonmade is a free site allowing everyone to show a limited amount of work. When I found it I thought "What the heck" and uploaded some one my work, just to try it out as I've been wanting to have my best stuff in one place to show others. If I'm getting a job within the business, I will of course update to a more professional Portfolio.

    Also, I wonder (don't laugh now...), what exactly are the differences between a Level Designer and an Environment Artist? I don't have any gaming business experience so don't judge me here. I've always considered myself as a Level Designer since I'm creating the levels from scratch, e.g terrain, vegetation/object placement, and also all Flowgraphing (the way you do scripted stuff within CryEngine) necessary for a Singleplayer level in Crysis.

    Thanks, guys! All of your comments are very contructive and helpful, thanks!

    As for jobs, I'm only 17 so there's no way I'd get a job now because in still in school. Also, being at such a low age, I want to develop even more if I can before looking for jobs. A finished education wouldn't be too bad either.

    Thanks! The link would indeed be better if it was possible to click it, but it's not possible with the Portfolio survice I'm using. =(

    Again, thanks to rest of you for taking the time to write!

    Hey, guys.

    I'm new to MapCore (actually I just found this place), and I have no idea if I even should be posting this or not, but here it goes. Since this is a place to get professional feedback, I figured maybe I should give it a go. I have no experience in the gaming business as I'm still a student and currently I'm doing my Level Design work mostly for fun. I wanted to show you guys this in order to get some feedback of my work and perhaps get some advice for the future, such as ways to get good jobs within the business, ways of improving my Portfolio etc.

    Personally I don't think of myself as very talented, but I've heard some people that like my work, so hopefully you will too. I have nothing to give compared to the amazing stuff I've seen here, so be gentle on me and don't expect too much as you browse through the Portfolio.

    Currently I have only been able to work with the CE 2 for Crysis, but I plan learning other engines once I get older. Now, enough of me, here's the link to the Portfolio. Hopefully you’ll be able to enjoy some of it!
