Mr.Ben Posted May 30, 2005 Report Posted May 30, 2005 It's been a while but after a couple of months break from mapping i'm returning! Yey i hear you all scream. When I finally find myself a saturday/sunday job i'll purchase HL2 and get cracking with a real engine. Until that time i'm just gathering up my portfolio. It took a break from mapping to let me realise just how much I enjoy it and now more than ever I want to work in the industry. I'd appreciate any feedback you could give me on my choice of shots for my portfolio. EDIT: I hoep this is the approiate forum :S Nightwatch: Chapter 4: Nightwatch: Hazardcourse Natural Selection: ns_forsaken DarkTruths: Chapter 2 <3 Quote

Zacker Posted May 30, 2005 Report Posted May 30, 2005 Impressive portfolio! A job in the industry seems like the right choice for you. The NW shots are as usual of very high quality. The first one is too dark for me to judge anything though. In the second picture you got CS crates, the NW texture guy really needs to come up with a replacement for that one. The cliff to dirt transition on the right needs a blend texture. Furthermore the sun is too white and lacks corona. The alien parts of ns_forsaken have a too wierd and colourstyle for my taste. The third shot however(the one amckern also linked to) is pure sex!!! The water in Dark Truths needs another texture(you are using an old HL one) and it needs some transparancy. Quote
Pericolos0 Posted May 30, 2005 Report Posted May 30, 2005 excellent work i'm curious for what you'll pull off with the hl2 engine Quote
PhilipK Posted May 30, 2005 Report Posted May 30, 2005 great work on the HL1 levels. looks amazing. also looking forward to see your upcoming work Quote
KIIIA Posted May 30, 2005 Report Posted May 30, 2005 To be honest, that 3rd pic from NS_Forsaken kicks ass. The other pics are great too, but that one is really inspiringly ( is that the right word ?? ) from architecture and style.. Quote
Phobos Posted May 30, 2005 Report Posted May 30, 2005 Wow great shots. Can't wait to see what you come up with on the source engine. I always loved this map on the nightwatch site Quote
Nysuatro Posted May 30, 2005 Report Posted May 30, 2005 Damn man Nice stuff , always cool to see some nice maps of the Hl1 engine Quote
Minos Posted May 30, 2005 Report Posted May 30, 2005 Awesome shit. Too bad NW wasnt released in time ;( Quote
ReNo Posted May 30, 2005 Report Posted May 30, 2005 Yay he's back! Good to see you haven't forsaken us completely man. Get your ass back to the snarkpit - this year's comp has just started, and I've a feeling it could be your year Love the lighting in the infested sections of ns_forsaken - its what xen should have looked like.
