Tobbeo,
Thanks for the help man. I haven’t used CrazyBump since it was in alpha, but I’ll pull it back out and spice up the normal map a bit more, great suggestion. At this point, having working in Arch-vis for a couple years and the competition for character modeling do you think I should focus on environments? My thought was that environments I can do and is already evident on my website but some more organic character stuff wasn’t represented. So I figured I would concentrate on filling that gap in my portfolio. I really don’t care what position I’m hired for doing games, character, environments, coffee guy, texturing, etc. I’m hesitant to do game environment stuff honestly, because I don’t know where to start if I should go in that direction. Otherwise, I’ll keep working on characters because they’re so challenging and continue to add the breadth to my portfolio I’ll need to get that first job.
Thanks again,
-Colin
