Getting into the Games Industry

[Trappist Funk]

Hi Guys,

I'm a 3D artist doing training sims and forensic work, but I'm looking to get into the games industry and am currently putting together a portfolio of work.

Can anybody give me any advice as to what sort of stuff I should be putting in it? At the moment it's a lot of low-poly stuff that I've done here at work (builders, kitchens, trucks, etc).

Thanks,
TimmyG

As long as it's all good work. It doesn't matter. Show a variety. If you are wanting to ba an artist show models and good textures. Sometimes it's perferable to exhibit good 2D skills too. But mainly strong 3d work will get you in.
